Alternative Structures (Pty.) Ltd is the brainchild of two innovative men inspired by a dream. They wanted to put the knowledge they gained, back into society and were prepared to go the extra mile to make it work.
Philip Boardman and Helmuth Gladis founded the company in 1992. In 1994 Helmuth went back to his home country Namibia, and Philip became sole Director.
