Cement Bamboo Frame Technology (CBFT) is an accredited building system developed by Base Bahay Foundation, Inc. (BASE) that uses load-bearing treated bamboo, reinforced with metal connections, and finished with mortar cement plaster.
🌀 Earthquakes
⛈️ Typhoons
🔥 Fire
🪲 Insect infestation
Treated bamboo poles create a strong structural frame that stands up to natural disasters, while the reinforced shear walls increase stability. The protective cement plaster coating shields your structure from weather exposure for long-term durability.We have a variety of CBFT constructions on site at our Dauin Facility in Negros Oriental.
We are open to visitors from 9am - 5pm, Monday to Friday.
Tested and proven to withstand:
Category 5 typhoons
250 kmph wind speed
Magnitude 8.4 earthquake
Certified by National Housing Authority for mass housing projects
Minimum lifespan of 25 years
Modern, stylish tropical design
Self-cooling and naturally lit homes help save electricity costs
A CBFT house is 20% to 30% more affordable than a conventional home of the same size.
By replacing imported timber and steel with locally grown, treated bamboo, you save on costs while supporting local jobs and resources.

Cement Bamboo Frame (CBFT) construction cuts environmental impact by 74%.
Over 25 years, that’s a reduction of 9.3 tons of CO₂.
Start your build with standardized prefabricated components, including roofing frames and wall panels design with Cement Bamboo Frame Technology (CBFT).
✅ Shorten your construction time
✅ Lower your labor costs
✅ Flexible configurations to match your budget and requirements
✅ Resistant to typhoon, earthquake, fire, and insects
Once the foundation is prepared on site, the complete structure can be assembled in just days.
The prefabricated panels are built with bamboo poles, wooden frames, flattened bamboo, and wire mesh.
Reinforced shear walls with cement plaster coating shield the panels against weather exposure for durability and additional stability.
We offer complimentary training on construction and maintenance. With proper care, these bamboo structures can serve more than 30 years.
