LOW COST HOUSING


Low cost housing refers to houses that are
inexpensive to build. IT doesn't mean that
the houses will be inexpensive to live in.
The goal of low-cost housing is to save
money while also maintaining buildings
quality.
Following Properties Reduces Cost
Construction:
Locally available materials .
Improved skills and technology.
Without sacrificing the strength,
performance and life of the structure.
Low cost housing is done by proper
management of resources as well as by
utilizing cheap building materials.

PLASWALL SYSTEM
Plaswall is a unique fibrocement lost in

place or permeant concrete formwork


It replaces costly steel aluminum and
plywood formworks
It produces a complete Load Bearing wall
with a complete rendered finish
Increases site production by as much as
300%
Requires significantly lower skilled labor to
build high quality concrete homes and
buildings

ADVANTAGES

COMMERCIAL ADVANTAGES
WORKABILITY
PLASWALL allows easy installation up to THREE (3) TIMES
faster than any conventional construction.
The site assembly of the main components can be done
faster, reducing financing and labor cost.
It is also completely scalable in terms of deploying multiple
sets of equipment. One set up can produce enough numbers
of PLASWALL for the simultaneous erection of number of
houses a day.

FASTER ROI
Quicker installation and lower cost ensure faster and higher
returns on capital investment.

VERY LOW MAINTENANCE:


with a minimal maintenance, there are no issues of cracking
or chipping. Latex paint which have five times more life span
compared to normal paints add to the life of construction.

ADVANTAGES

COMMERCIAL ADVANTAGES
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 labor
cost due to minimized use of SKILLED MANPOWER
and NO requirement of heavy equipments on site.

ADVANTAGES

GREEN ADVANTAGES

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.
HIMI is manufactured from 100% recycled plastic.
There is no forest decimation involved in hardiflex
sheet. Hence, a green product.
SOCIAL BENEFITS:
Unskilled workers receive on- the-job training and
thus, get better job opportunities. Secondly, at
competitive cost, Plaswall building system is built
to exceptional standards that enhance a citizens
lifestyle.
MINIMUM WASTAGE:
Wastage is minimized as it is fabricated to order.
The concrete and other materials volume usage
is exact and predictable.

TECHNICAL ADVANTAGES

FIRE RESISTANCE:
Plaswall is Non-combustible and has fire resistance
for one hour as determined by ASTM E 119 tests.
It is excellent thermal insulation acts as a thermal
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 and VERMINE FREE whereas
traditional building are quite vulnerable to such pest.
It is also RUST-PROOF and ANTI-ROT.
HUMIDITY RESISTANCE:
Plaswall is humidity/ waterproof unlike conventional
building systems which absorb moisture and breed
microorganisms. No flaking and crumbling occurs
due to moisture seepage.

ADVANTAGES

TECHNICAL ADVANTAGES
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.
MOBILITY:
The mobile factory can be stationed on-site to reduce
transportation cost.The movable manufacturing unit
attracts significantly less capital than a fixed factory.
FEWER SKILLED TRADES INVOLVED:
This is because framing, masonry, insulation and other
such skilled trades are reduced or eliminated. So, MOST
of WORK is done by UNSKILLED LABOURERS.
HIGH QUALITY WALL FINISH:
Plaswall is simple to erect with excellent quality finish. It
eliminates the need for rendering finish to the wall
surfaces
