• Less wet trades in construction site; cleaner site environment.
• Easily accessible to any corner in the construction site.
• Industrialized building system; faster installation period.
• Less cleaning & surface maintenance after installation.
• Only semi-skilled workers are needed for installation.
• Retains colour brilliance despite constant exposure to outdoor elements.
• High compressive strength minimizes severe damage by rough handling on site, hence reducing waste.
• Durable; no corrosion or distortion after long period.
• Dimensionally precise & consistent; this uniformity makes block-laying much easier and faster.
• Less mortar joints between blocks.
• Lighter weight (20-30% than bricks) means less dead load per square meter.
• Surface area per piece is equivalent to about 5 times of normal bricks thus enabling faster laying work.
• Larger & level surface area allows for a straighter wall with minimal skim coat, plastering & direct paint-on.
• Fair-face (bare) wall can achieve 2-hours fire rating without plastering, skimcoat or infill.
+ CMU Structure - Stiffener & Bond beam (Conventional Column & Beam replacement) See page 20 for more info.
• CMU Full Block & Bond Beam when reinforced and infilled with concrete, becomes a stiffener & bond beam to replace con-
ventional column, beam & lintel. It also act as a permanent formwork thus eliminating form-work/carpentry costs. An entire
building can be built using this system.
