day one

step 1

start - 11:00

• moladi form is delivered to the site.
  Area = 74m²
  Mass = 550kg
  Volume = 4m³
   

• house construction building process

• start the erection of moladi

• panels are assembled by general labourers to form the mould/kit of the desired house plan.

step 2

construction process

• internal panels are erected.

• window frames and block-outs (WinBloc) are positioned.

• mesh and reinforcing details are placed according to engineer specifications.

• external panels are then erected.

• construction process

step 3

Building construction process

• door frames and block-outs (DoorBloc) are positioned.

• erection of moladi completed. (4 hours)

• with only four labourers speeding up the  construction building process.

finish - 15:00

step 4

start - 15:00

Concrete housing  construction process

• four labourers are needed to manually fill the wall cavity with 3.4m³ of an aerated mortar mixture.

• pour is completed (2 hours)

• Building construction process speeded up

finish - 17:00

set to challenge the tradition bound construction industry

day two

step 1

start - 07:00

plastic shutter formwork

• moladi formwork is removed.

• panel being moved weighs less than 30kg

• (3.84m² X 8kg/m²) and can immediately be re-erected on the next foundation.

• removing the moladi formwork complete.    (2 hours)

finish - 09:00

finishing

step 2

building construction process

• structure can be painted with a cementitious water based textured paint as soon as moladi is removed.

• oil or water based paint can also be used at a later stage.

step 3

building construction process

• walls are 1.5 to 2.0 mPa strong with an ultimate strength of 10 to 20mPa, achieved in 28 days, depending on the mix design of the mortar (C:W Ratio)
• engineer certified roof is constructed.

step 4

construction building process

• final finishing’s, such as plumbing and electrical fittings, are completed.

• building structure is now ready for occupation.
