set to challenge the tradition bound construction industry
 

day one

step 1
   

start - 11:00

  
 

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

  • start the erection of moladi

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

step 2

 

  • 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.

 

step 3

 

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

  • erection of moladi completed. (4 hours)

  • with only four labourers.

 

finish - 15:00

  

step 4

start - 15:00

 

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

  • pour is completed (2 hours)

 

finish - 17:00

  
   

day two

step 1
   

start - 07:00

 

  • moladi form 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

  • 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

  • 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

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

  • structure is now ready for occupation.

 
 

production cycle completed in an 8 hour day
