Interesting article from 03/27/2025 highlighting the housing situation in Chile.

==================================================================

A 2023 report by the Chilean Chamber of Construction, “Housing Deficit in Chile: Evolution and Analysis of the Housing Crisis”, estimates that more than one million families in Chile lack their own home. The deficit includes 935,000 families living in overcrowded conditions, those living in irreparable housing, and those lacking financial means to buy their own housing. Additionally, there are 114,000 families living in informal settlements (campamentos) and more than 40,000 people experiencing homelessness. Those same numbers persist in Chile today.

In response, the Chilean government has implemented several initiatives to address this issue. The 2025 national budget, totaling $82 billion, includes increased funding for housing construction and urban development projects. Additionally, the Ministry of Housing and Urbanism (MINVU) has set ambitious targets to construct between 100,000 and 120,000 homes annually, aiming to reduce the housing deficit.

Despite these efforts, challenges persist, including delays in permit processing and disparities in construction productivity across different regions. For instance, while some areas complete housing projects within 12 months, others take 24 months or more. To overcome these obstacles, the government is focusing on streamlining administrative processes and promoting the adoption of efficient construction technologies.

Modular and prefabricated housing has been a game-changer in the United States for reducing construction costs and increasing efficiency. Analysts suggest that applying this approach in Chile could significantly accelerate the response to the country’s estimated 1 million home deficit while maintaining quality and affordability.

The results from the Catholic University testing center surpassed their stringent standards on all test variables, demonstrating the reliability and adaptability required to meet the exacting building regulation standards governing the construction industry in the region. As a result of this performance success in Chile, it is the Company’s understanding that its walls will also be deemed compliant across a substantial number of Latin American markets, allowing for significant future growth prospects in Chile and across the wider region.

Eco Buildings is pleased to announce that the government-approved testing department at the Catholic University of Chile in Santiago, has informed the Company that its wall panels, have successfully passed the government’s rigorous testing program for use in its construction market.

This development is the result of months of meticulous testing that began back in July 2023 where the Group’s building materials were subjected to the most extensive evaluations for strength, durability, fire-resistance, sound insulation and structural integrity.

CE marking is a regulatory standard that verifies a product has been assessed by the manufacturer and deemed to meet EU safety, health and environmental protection standards. It is required for products manufactured anywhere in the world that are then marketed in the EU.

Eco Buildings manufactures its glass fibre reinforced gypsum (GFRG) materials used in its modular housing in its purpose-built factory in Albania to the highest standards, as confirmed by various certifications around the world with respect to load bearing abilities, fire resistance, water adsorption and acoustic insulation. This is designed, manufactured and delivered via our unique proprietary vertical production technique of GFRG that delivers modular sections and walls that go into its modular houses.

The CE mark allows its products to be made commercially available within the EU and opens up these markets where there is considerable demand already generated.

Sanjay Bowry, CEO, Eco Buildings said, "Obtaining the CE Marking is an important milestone for Eco Buildings, opening up further parts of the European Community market, where there is already considerable interest and demand for our modular homes.

Eco Buildings has already achieved certification in Albania, Australia, the UAE and Latin America (specifically in Chile) and is now strategically positioned to leverage its manufacturing capabilities in the marketplace. The company continues to focus on expanding its presence in the modular construction sector, driving forward with a commitment to innovation and efficiency."

More to the point - why are people selling? :-)

Number of AIM Securities in Issue: 121,211,747

Percentage of shares not in public ownership: 76.951%

Eco Sudan launched today with a 5m euro (£4.36m)investment from Socrata.

"Under the terms of the MOU and the Agreement, Socotra will be entitled to receive 50% of any net profits generated by Eco Sudan."

Presumably Socrata at the very least are expecting to get their initial investment back.

Eco Sudan will need to generate net profits of £8.72m over time to enable Socrata to just get back their initial investment.

ECOB currently @ 6.25p have a £7.5m mcap.

For Eco Sudan alone that appears to be conservative.

Currently ECOB already have subsidiaries or interests in Albania , Senegal , Chile and Canada , with this list of countries looking sure to grow.

ECOB appears to be one to hold for the long run IMO.

=================================================================================

The DICE Awards will be presented on Feb. 13 during the 2025 DICE Summit, an industry conference in Las Vegas. Unlike The Game Awards, which are determined by a jury of media outlets with some input from fan voting, the DICE Awards are selected by the Academy of Interactive Arts & Sciences, an industry body comprised of publishers and developers. They work similarly to the Oscars in film, with nominations made by specialist panels and then voted on by Academy members.

A look at the Steam Charts show how the popularity of Balatro has risen to new heights recently.

HOW ONE PERSON CREATED ‘BALATRO,’ THE YEAR’S BEST GAME

LocalThunk, the anonymous designer of the dark horse gaming hit of 2024 discusses the trials of indie game development and where Balatro is going next

Tech helps homeowners dodge costly loft leaks

December 16, 2024

A trial of smart water leak detection devices has highlighted the risk homes in the South East face from aging loft storage tanks.

More than 700 homeowners in Kent, Hampshire and Sussex took part in a Southern Water trial of the Leakbot technology and 35 per cent received a leak or high usage alert, primarily related to issues with loft storage tanks.

One home was losing an astounding 720 litres of water every day – equal to more than seven full bathtubs.

Homes in the South East, an area with ‘hard water’ through high mineral levels, can be vulnerable to leaks due to limescale build-up, which can damage taps, toilets, pipes and appliances.

While water meters will show larger leaks, LeakBot measures air and water temperatures to detect losses as small as a teaspoon of water a minute.

The tech, which clips on to the mains water supply pipe, connects to the home wireless network and if it detects a leak, notifies users via an app, picking up problems at an early stage and cutting water damage claims by 70 per cent.

According to the Association of British Insurers (ABI), the trade body for the insurance industry, insurers pay out around £1.8 million every day to customers who have made ‘escape of water’ claims on their home insurance. Nearly one in five claims made on buildings and contents insurance is for damage caused by leaks.

The trial showed more than 4,000 litres of water being lost through faulty pipes and appliances every day. If these results were applied to every home in the Southern Water region this amounts to 5.8 mega litres of clean, treated water that could be saved every year.

The Leakbot trial is just one of the ways Southern Water is looking to tackle the issue of water scarcity and build a more resilient future. As well as committing to cut network leakage by 53 per cent by 2050, the company is also supporting households and businesses to reduce their water usage.

Phil Tapping, Water Network Demand Manager for Southern Water, says reducing household leaks benefits everyone.

He said: “No one wants to discover a leak through water flooding through their ceiling. Early detection helps homeowners avoid disruptive and costly water damage and could save our region up to 5.8 mega litres of water every year.

“Our region is already recognised as being water-stressed – we have less water per capita than Morocco – and it’s crucial we work together to address the enormous challenge we face through innovation, investment and collaboration with our communities and partners.”

At the 2024 Games Awards Balatro wins 3 titles:

Best Mobile Game

Best Independent Game

Best Debut Indie Game

In August TRU announced that Balatro had sold 2 million units , now they're sold 3.5 million.

Balatro has now sold 3,500,000 units

December 11, 2024

One of the games that has been a contender for Game of The Year isn’t even a AAA game that has been released by a major video gaming company. Balatro, the roguelike poker card game, was released back in February of this year on multiple platforms, including the Nintendo Switch. Since then, it has been a big sales success and has received universal acclaim from critics.

However, you may be surprised to learn just how much of a sales success Balatro is. You see, the official social media for Balatro shared the news earlier today that the game has now officially managed to sell 3,500,000 units. The game is currently slated to get its first major content update next year.

Balatro's mobile release has managed the almost impossible task of knocking Minecraft from its long-maintained top spot on the charts.

Much like the flu that has struck down half the PC Gamer team this week, Balatro fever continues to spread. It's been steadily rising in popularity since its Steam release earlier this year, it's managed to nab an impressive five nominations at The Game Awards and now, in yet another incredible feat, LocalThunk's poker roguelite has done the impossible: It's actually knocked Minecraft from its number one spot on the goddamn mobile charts. Kids of the 'craft are, presumably, in shambles.

That's the case for both the iOS App Store and the Google Play charts, with Balatro taking the top spot in the paid games category and knocking Minecraft down to the second spot. It's a huge deal, quite frankly.
