Since its inception in the 1980s, the Rustic Homes brand has embodied solid, high quality timber construction for the discerning homeowner.

A winning formula Pieter Silberbauer, past owner of Rustic Homes, comments, “We have grown the Rustic Homes brand over three decades and it is clear to us that Werner recognises the significance of this as he takes over the brand and the responsibility that goes with building and maintaining it. We wish him well as he ensures that every project he undertakes meets the exacting standards of quality that established Rustic Homes as the undisputed leader in timber construction in Southern Africa.” The Rustic Homes story

has roots in a young boy’s recollections of time spent at his great-grandmother’s historic timber home in the heart of Knysna. These memories and appreciation of the timber frame home are evidenced not only in the many homes the Rustic Homes team have built over the years, but in the uncompromising quality and workmanship they’ve imprinted on every project. “It is thus a privilege to take the reins of this remarkable company and to be a custodian and purveyor of the Rustic Homes brand and its deep-rooted legacy into the future,” Slabbert concludes. 

frame superstructure commences off site in the Rustic Homes factory in the Somerset West area while the house’s foundations are being laid. Once the structure has been transported to site, craftsmen, carpenters, joiners, painters, plumber and electrician commence their trades until each assignment has been completed, checked and signed off by management. Thorough inspections are conducted throughout the building process, so that at handover, the client can move in, rest assured that their new tailor-built home is of the highest quality and will last a lifetime.
