Traditional construction
system users take everything in their stride. "Waste of time, money and material
are natural", "Skilled labour issues... where is the choice?" "Bad material
management and mess...it happens." Not any more. With PlasWall's unique
properties, you actually save money and time while getting world-class quality.
Here's how.
SPEED
Workability: PlasWall™ allows easy installation that is three times faster
than any conventional construction. The site assembly of the main components can
be done faster, reducing financing and labour costs. It is also completely
scalable in terms of deploying multiple sets of equipment. One setup can produce
enough numbers of PlasWall™ for the simultaneous erection of up to 23 houses a
day (45m or 6900 houses per year).
Mobility: The mobile factory can be stationed on-site to reduce time and
transportation cost. The movable manufacturing unit also attracts significantly
less capital than a ‘fixed’ factory.
Fewer skilled trades involved: Framing, masonry, insulation and other such
skilled trades are reduced or eliminated. So, most of the work is done by
unskilled labourers in lesser time.
Faster ROI: Quicker installation and lower cost ensures faster and higher
returns on the capital invested.
ECONOMY
Very low maintenance: With a warranty on maintenance, there are no issues of
cracking or chipping. Latex paints which have five times more life span compared
to normal paints add to the life of a construction. Pre-defined BoQ: Bill of
Quantities, defined before work, results in a predictable cost and better
inventory control.
Reduced construction cost: Considerable savings in construction time and
labour costs due to minimized use of skilled manpower and no requirement of
heavy equipment on site.
Economic sustainability: Except for FABFORMS’ patented HIMI and hardieflex
sheets, all other materials like polystyrene, doors and windows and plumbing and
electrical conduits can be obtained from the local market.
Minimum wastage: Wastage is minimized as it is prefabricated to order. The
concrete and other materials’ volume usage is exact and predictable.
STRENGTH
Fire resistance: PlasWall™ is non-combustible and has fire resistance for
one hour as determined by ASTM E 119 tests. Its excellent thermal insulation
acts as a thermic shield.
Acoustic insulation: Its inbuilt sound reduction properties make it
excellent for sound absorption and noise isolation. Concrete walls carry sounds,
thus hampering privacy.
Termite resistance: PlasWall™ is termite or vermin free whereas
traditional buildings are quite vulnerable to such pests. It is also rust-proof
and anti-rot.
Humidity resistance: PlasWall™ is humidity/water proof unlike conventional
building systems which absorb moisture and breed microorganisms. No flaking or
crumbling occurs due to moisture seepage.
Durability: PlasWall™ is not affected by biological or chemical
phenomenon whereas traditional buildings corrode or develop cracks over time.
Its shear wall makes it stronger than any conventional construction.
High quality wall finish: PlasWall™ is stronger than hollow block work,
brick work and pre-cast concrete. Also, it is simple to erect with excellent
quality finish. It eliminates the need for rendering finish to the wall
surfaces. Durable finish eliminates re-work and repairs. No plastering is
required due to cement rendering. So, there is no messy mixing on site and no
workmanship issues.
AND MORE…
Safe and Bio Compatible: There is no CFS(cold formed steel) in the
polystyrene (in case of thermal panels)and forestry products can be avoided
completely. It is a green product made. HIMI from 100% recycled plastic.
Social Benefits: Unskilled workers receive on-the-job training and thus get
better job opportunities. Secondly, at competitive costs, PlasWall™ building
system is built to exceptional standards that enhance the citizen’s lifestyles.
