About

With the Government Initiatives like "Housing-for-all" and "Smart Cities", the Indian construction industry needs rapid and economical methods of construction in order to meet the huge demand for housing in both rural and urban environments. With better quality at affordable levels and speedy execution, this knowhow/ technology can be customized to the needs and it allows for affordable, stronger and faster mode of construction of houses, which enables mass production of houses.

Outcome / Output

The major advantage is speed and quality, enabling the usage of the technology for mass and affordable housing The entire building is strong, durable and lighter than conventional construction. It can resist forces caused by disasters such as earthquake and cyclone , The technology permits both cast in-situ monolithic as well as prefabricated method of construction , These panels are extremely light in weight easy to transport and erect.
