EcoPrefab finishes its buildings with pigmented lime plaster – a natural, breathable material that offers both aesthetic and environmental benefits.
Made by mixing lime with natural pigments, this plaster eliminates the need for synthetic paints or chemical coatings. The result is a rich, earthy finish that reflects the local context and ages beautifully over time.
Unlike cementitious plaster, which blocks humidity from passing through walls, or chemical paints, which are toxic, costly and require frequent repainting, lime plaster regulates indoor humidity by allowing walls to breathe, helping to prevent moisture build-up and mould. It is also highly durable, low-maintenance, and contributes to a healthy indoor environment.
Pigmented lime plaster enables EcoPrefab to combine performance, sustainability and visual character in a single finish.
World Green Building Week 2025 celebrates the power of buildings to shape better lives – and EcoPrefab by Localworks is a bold example of that vision in action across East Africa.
Uganda needs over 8,000 new schools.
EcoPrefab is helping to meet that need – faster, greener, and smarter.
Every school built with EcoPrefab is a step towards healthier communities, cleaner air, and greater climate resilience. These schools are constructed using FSC-certified timber and a design that reduces carbon emissions by 75% compared to conventional methods. Each campus includes classrooms, teachers’ housing, kitchen, toilets, and biodigesters – all designed with sustainability and dignity in mind.
This week, we join World Green Building Council to celebrate how bold buildings create communities we are proud to live in.
