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

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.

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.

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.

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
