Low cost Construction Housing - Block Free Building System

Although moladi technology is primarily a manufacturer of a re-useable machine made patented formwork system that allows walls to be cast stronger faster for less, the principal focus is on the delivery of the “whole house”. A house consists of many components and the” assembly process” needs to be project managed in its entirety. That means windows, doors, roof, bath, toilet, paint, ceiling, glass, electrical hardware, etc. etc. needs to be planned ordered and supplied in order to avoid a “bottle neck” that would stop production creating “waste” resulting in an increase in cost. This in turn makes the product, the home, unaffordable to the majority of people.

Housing backlog - a global issue

Housing backlog or the shortage of affordable homes is a global issue - effecting many many countries around the globe - Cuba, South Africa, America, India, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Pakistan, Kenya, Nigeria, Angola, Bangladesh, Ghana, Mexico. Argentina, Brazil, Panama and many more.

The issues are complicated but the common thread is the lack of skilled artisans trained to build homes cost effectively manner like the assembly line of automotive assembly lines - reducing waste increased productivity allowing cost effective mass production.

Fitch downgrades SA outlook

Johannesburg - Fitch cut South Africa’s rating outlook to negative from stable on Friday, saying it had seen limited progress on several long-standing structural issues that have over time caused the country’s economic performance to fall behind its peers.

The rand fell 1.5% against the dollar after the move, while South Africa’s 5-year credit default swaps rose 10 basis points.

Fitch, which has a BBB+ rating on South Africa, said the country’s inability to create jobs, with an unemployment rate of around 25%, was putting pressure on growth and narrowing the tax base.

Leading engineering experts at a major forum called upon the developers in the Gulf region to build houses for people in the lower strata of society.

Qatar Society of Engineers chairman Ahmad Jassim Al Jolo said the situation is critical all over the Gulf but is of particular concern in Bahrain and Qatar where there is a lot of pressure on space.

'We have a situation where there are developers who run after huge profits and make houses only for high-paying clients and we have consultants who design houses for the rich,' he told the GDN, speaking on the sidelines of the 15th Gulf Engineering Forum.

The event, under the patronage of His Royal Highness Prime Minister Prince Khalifa bin Salman Al Khalifa, concludes today at Gulf Hotel's Gulf Convention Centre. It is being held under the theme Affordable housing projects.

'The idea is to reduce costs and for that, we have to have developers, consultants, designers and the government working in tandem,' he said.

'The consultants, more than ever, have to be aware of the needs of the people and not go after designing properties that are way beyond the budgets of ordinary people.'

He said the government, on the other hand, must make cheap land available for the affordable houses to be built.

'The problem in Bahrain and Qatar, and to a certain extent, in Kuwait is that there is not much space available.

'This creates problems because land reclamation takes time and it is not always the right thing to do.'

Al Jolo said it was high time there was action on the issue. 'There are profits to be made but these should be reasonable.'

He said another solution was to grow vertically rather than horizontally. 'This is the way to go but the culture in this part of the world make it impossible to do so.'

'People in the GCC are used to having their own private space and everybody wants a house. They have to get away from this thinking,' he added.

Conference organiser Bahrain Society of Engineers chairman Majeed Al Gassab said the forum had always served as an indicator to assess the situation in the engineering sector.

'We have always seen it as an important annual forum for researchers and specialists from both government entities and private agencies from different parts of the region.

They meet to discuss various engineering issues they face, so that they can make timely course corrections and plan for the future.'

He said the GCC region has witnessed a high increase in the prices of both property and construction material which made it difficult for people with limited income to build their own houses.

'Due to this financial requirement, many people, especially from the young generation, cannot build their houses.'

He said engineers play an essential role in designing and applying new ideas to help reach new solutions to satisfy these requirements under the umbrella of new engineering mechanism.

'Finding solutions to this problem is not the responsibility of engineers or architects alone, it is also the responsibility of urban planners through provision of suitable urban planning solutions, including infrastructure,' he added

Affordable homes - Saudi backlog 2 million

2012-01-09T22:08:00.000+02:00

Saudi need 973,000 affordable homes

Saudi 'in need of another 973,000 affordable homes'

moladi - Village Concept - New Town - New Cities

Saudi Arabia will need an additional 973,000 housing units by 2015 and a total of 2.1 million units over the coming decade (215,000 units per year), said a new report by NCB Capital, Saudi Arabia’s leading wealth manager.

The NCB Capital in its latest report analyses the Kingdom’s real estate strategy and examines the key benefits and obstacles to affordable housing.

According to the report, moral, social and economic reasons make provision of affordable housing central to development of a nation.

“Using a definition of affordability where no more than 30-35 per cent of median income is spent on housing, we find that a lack of supply of affordable homes is a significant concern in the Middle East as a whole as well as in Saudi Arabia,” remarked Farouk Miah, acting head of Equity Research at NCB Capital.

“Despite the important role the government is playing in the provision of affordable housing, we find there is a significant discrepancy between supply and demand of housing units in the kingdom. On one hand there is an oversupply in the market for luxury and upscale residential units, but a shortfall of affordable housing units where demand is high,” he explained.

Supporting the need to meet demand for affordable housing, NCB Capital highlights in the report the moral, social and economic reasons which make the provision of affordable housing central to the development of a nation.

'We believe affordable housing helps limits negative social outcomes in society. The lack of affordable housing can prevent people from meeting their other basic needs, such as nutrition and healthcare, or saving for their future and that of their families, potentially leading to social problems such as increased crime,' Miah said.

'If affordable housing is provided, this will lead to financial savings for governments as they will not need to pay for these negative consequences,' he added.

According to NCB Capital, the high cost of land is the kingdom’s main barrier to developing the affordable housing sector, along with other key issues such as construction costs, lack of supply of land which can be developed, bureaucracy and limited financing options.

'Although the demand for housing in general in Saudi is high, in order to translate potential housing demand into actual demand which can be met, the obstacle of affordability must be considered,' said Miah.

'We note that the government’s estimates are even more aggressive than ours. According to the 9th 5 Year Development Plan, 1.2 million units are needed over the next 5 years, or 250,000 units every year,' it added.

The report pointed out that Saudi real estate market was largely controlled by a relatively low number of individuals who wield significant power on market dynamics.

This in its own right causes obstacles from the outset when trying to tackle the issue of affordable housing, the primary one being the high cost of land.

In Saudi Arabia landowners are not taxed, so in essence there is little incentive or pressure to sell a plot of land which will most likely appreciate in value over time.

'When land is approximately half the cost of developing housing units, significant governmental measures will be required in order to overcome this obstacle,' said the expert.

Giving an example, the report states that, currently, in Riyadh land prices per sqm are around 50 per cent of the price of a villa per sqm for the upper end of the scale, and towards 20-30 per cent for the lower end of the spectrum. The average price of land in Riyadh is around SR1,000-1,500 per sq m.

According to Miah, the government plays an important role in affordable housing. 'When analysing the reasons behind the lack of affordable housing and looking at case-studies where this has successfully been tackled, we find governments playing a significant role,” he said.

“Similarly, we believe in Saudi Arabia the government can play a major role to support the provision of affordable housing,” he added.

According to the report, the government would need to focus on two key areas to promote the creation of commuter towns in Saudi Arabia.

The first key area to focus on is Infrastructure, including adequate and affordable transportation routes to and from the commuter town, as well as within the main cities.

The other key area to consider is subsidies. Government bodies should have the ability to subsidise the developer. Generally, government bodies subsidies real estate developers with land, material and construction costs to complete any given project.

According to NCB Capital, Public Private Partnerships (PPPs) are another area which the Saudi government can explore in order to deal with affordable housing.
