Innovative Low Cost Housing
Via NextBillion.net Moladi, a South African company has developed a construction technology that addresses six key challenges embodied in the housing shortage facing developing countries namely:
• Lack of resources
• Shortage of skills
• Constraint of time
• Controlled work flow
• Eliminate waste
• Insufficient funds
First, a mould of the designed house is created by using a system of lightweight and plastic-injection moulded form-work. This eliminates chasing, beam filling, plastering and waste. The result is a fast track cost effective, transferable construction technology.
"Simply cast a whole house in a day, employing unskilled labour, reducing time, waste and cost. Eliminating chasing for plumbing and electrical pipe work, plastering and beam filling. Resulting in a wall stronger than brick. A cost effective, holistic design and build technology, that far outweighs poorly designed costly concrete-block and masonry structures..."Check out Moladi
