About Us
BillionBricks is a climate-tech venture, building the world’s first net-zero homes and communities in the Philippines. Our homes help combat climate change by saving over 6,000 tons of C02 annually and uplift the communities’ standard of living by generating additional monthly income for the homeowners. We are partnered with ENGIE, a French conglomerate and a global leader in energy generation and management to realize our vision.
We are actively building large-scale, solar-powered communities—including Sienna Homes in San Mateo, Rizal and Iligan, Lanao del Norte—that tackle both the housing crisis and renewable energy transition. These projects set a new benchmark for affordable, climate-resilient living in urban and peri-urban landscapes.
Our team is growing and is seeking innovative and bright professionals to join us. If you’re a self-starter, driven, passionate and looking for a career with impact - you’re what we need!
