Building systems  Building Systems The moladi building system involves the use of a unique removable reusable recyclable and lightweight plastic formwork mould which is filled with an aerated SABS approved mortar to form the wall structure of a house in only one day. The process involves the assembly of a temporary plastic formwork mould the size of the designed house with all the electrical services plumbing and steel reinforcing located within the wall structure which is then filled with a South African Bureau of Standards approved mortar mix to form all the walls of the house simultaneously.
