ECO-FRIENDLY MATERIALS: Affordable Housing
Better quality finish and less maintenance
 Mechanized bricks – The machine made
bricks and blocks have smooth finish
and can be left exposed. If painting is
required, it can be done without plaster
directly over putty.
 Precast items – Precast items are
prefabricated and mechanized, hence, they
have a smooth finish and ceiling plaster
is not required.
 Quality control – Better quality control in
mechanization. Machine made production
ensures better quality than hand-made in
situ work.
 Quality management – Testing of precast
items can be done on site.
 Less maintenance – due to
precast elements, no external
plaster, less weathering affect
Water conservation
 Due to lesser masonry, concrete & plaster less
water consumption.
 Mechanised bricks / blocks have high strength
and low water absorption.
 Precast elements due to stack arrangement
require less water.
 Ponding of sunken portions is used for curing
 Soft permeable pathways to reduce run off rain
water.
Structural efficiency
 Designed on the principles of ‘Box’ consisting of wall
panels and floor diaphragms are structurally more
efficient. Ductility provisions provided through
vertical reinforcement at corners Tee junctions, plinth
bands, lintel bands & roof bands.
 Besides economical, these structures have higher
lateral stiffness than framed structure and are
more sustainable.

SAVINGS IN COST & ENERGY
Load bearing A load bearing structure up to 4 storeyed is
highly
construction economical.
Precast elements reduces the thickness of plaster
Savings in plaster required. External facades can be exposed without
plaster, further savings in cost.

Savings in The overall thickness of precast RC planks is only

material 60mm. A normal cast in situ slab requires 100mm
consumptio thickness thus the dead load of slab is reduced by
n about 30% to 40%.
The intermediate floor slabs and the roof slab are
No shuttering in precast RC planks and joist system. The system
saves shuttering.
Minimum
transportatio All precast elements casted at site, saves fuel
n and fuel and
cost cost of transportation.
Because of precast controlled quality concrete and
Low maintenance
ferrocement elements, they have high life cycle.
