Design Better
In-house architects and engineers, supported by SCHNELLCAD software, design every building for EPS-panel construction from day one.
Home of EPS Innovations
We design better, build green and deliver fast.
EDAB Homes pioneered prefabricated EPS-panel building technology in Ethiopia. We manufacture our own building systems and deliver them as a design-build contractor (BC-1) — time- and cost-effective, with consistent factory quality.

Who we are
An Ethiopian manufacturer and design-build contractor
Established in 2015, EDAB Manufacturing & Construction PLC develops and produces innovative building elements and constructs with them in a time- and cost-effective way.
In Gelan, Oromia Region, we built Ethiopia's first and only state-of-the-art EPS construction material factory: an investment of more than 300 million Birr on a 20,000 m² site, equipped with a complete range of machinery from Italy's SCHNELL Group.
About EDAB
What we do
From factory to finished building
One company for the whole chain — so projects move quickly, and quality stays under our control.
Produce Panels
Our Gelan factory produces EPS sandwich panels, wire mesh and stirrups on a complete Italian SCHNELL production line.
Build Green
Panels cut heating and cooling costs by over 80% and carbon emissions by around 60% compared with traditional buildings.
Deliver Fast
Prefabrication reduces construction time by around 50% — the Unity Park buildings were finished in just 7 days.
EPS-panel building system
Lightweight panels, strong buildings
Our panels combine an expanded-polystyrene core with two galvanized, electro-welded steel meshes. On site they are finished with concrete or shotcrete to form load-bearing walls, floors and stairs.
- Up to 10–15% lower cost than conventional construction
- Around 50% shorter construction time
- Thermal, fire, earthquake and cyclone resistance
- Any shape — flat or curved — and any finish
