Superior building construction method | Disrupting the mould

Superior building construction method | Disrupting the mould DISRUPTING THE MOULD  The inefficiencies of moulding a brick or block in a mould then tasking an artisan to lay them. Then chase the walls for water and electrical services. Then relying on another artisan to plaster the walls. Depending on the skills and ability of artisans to produce a house vs. casting a house in a mould employing unskilled workers – eliminating the need to chase and plaster, in a day, at a known cost. Disrupting the Mould This we refer to as the moladi   "injection moulding construction process". Future of Construction - World Economic Forum Molding or Moulding Process: moladi   Construction Process - Video Link Molding or moulding is the process of manufacturing by shaping liquid or pliable raw material using a rigid frame called a mold or matrix. This itself may have been made using a pattern, a model or formwork of the final object....

Then chase the walls for water and electrical services. Then relying on another artisan to plaster the walls. Dependent on the skills and ability of artisans to produce a house. At what cost? Conventional brick and mortar construction process: How many bricks or blocks are laid per day? Are the quantity of bricks or blocks laid per day the same for every day of the week? What happens when the bricklayer does not come to work? Is the mortar (dahga) mix to lay the bricks or blocks consistent? How many bricks or blocks are wasted or broken or stolen? Are walls straight plumb and square? How long to chase for electricity piping? How long to chase for water piping? How long does it take...

Brick Homes versus innovative Building Technologies Brick built homes do not fare well compared to new innovative building technologies Many Innovative Building Technologies (IBT) or Alternative Building Technologies (ABT) or non-masonry building systems, outstrip brick and mortar homes. The Council for Scientific and Industrial Research ( CSIR ) rates brick homes 32nd out of 40 certified systems.  moladi - innovative building technologies moladi  uses reusable lightweight plastic formwork to cast walls in place or insitu. The technology speeds up the construction process reducing cost, making homes stronger and affordable.

School carried away brick by brick in just two months

School carried away brick by brick in just two months  R40 million High School - Two months ago  Two months later the school is stripped  WHOLESALE vandalism has seen an entire abandoned Port Elizabeth school simply vanish into thin air – stripped of everything but its concrete floor and support beams in under two months. Using wheelbarrows, cars, vans and even their heads to transport items, Govan Mbeki township residents have reduced the school near Bethelsdorp to a shell to prevent people from other areas taking what they say belongs to them. Gqebera High School, which cost R40-million to build, went from eight buildings to only support beams, with residents carrying off bricks and tiles bit by bit to add to their own homes or sell. And although it is one of six in the city which have been left abandoned, the provincial Education Department says it is only aware of three such vacant schools. The school was closed down earlier this year after pupils were rel...
