A Stronger Building (insulation optional)

Most buildings you see in the Philippines are made of 'hollow blocks' which is still the cheapest way to build.
 

( Hollow Block Construction )

But we offer an ADVANCED construction-method at more or less the SAME PRICE:

Our clients from the USA and Europe feel comfortable with the 'American style' of construction that we offer which is also used in building the Trump Tower in America;

Building with the 'American-system' cost about the same as hollow-blocks but the advantages are:

• Faster Construction: 2x quicker is possible meaning you do not have to spend many months checking the progress of your building.

• Stronger: the structural integrity is higher, disaster resistant, withstanding earthquakes, typhoons etc.

• Save Money: your building is stronger and therefor last for generations.

• Less Labor: no need to plaster (Plaster can cause peeling and cracking.)

• Insulation optional: save money on electricity bills for aircon and reduce noise from outside.

• Controled Drying of Concrete: the temporary panels/forms prevent rapid evaporation of water from the concrete. (Hollow-block walls can dry too quick which adversely impacts the quality of concrete; cracks).

IMPORTANT:
Even if you already selected a contractor who want to build with hollow blocks; just let us make a STRONGER 'bare structure' (INSULATION optional) at more or less the SAME PRICE and let your contractor do the finishings, interior, landscaping etc.

Metal temporary forms are placed side by side. In the space between two forms you find the steel reinforcing bars.

(Insulation with polystyrene is optional; save money on aircon-bills and reduce noise from outside.)

Electrical wires, plumbing etc. are easily integrated inside the wall before casting.

We pour fresh concrete mix between the forms; allow to set; and the forms are removed.
The walls, windows and door-openings are direct ready after casting and drying; precise and smooth; ready for painting. No need for plastering; you save labour; FAST. (Plaster can cause peeling and cracking.)

The result is a solid concrete wall (in any thickness) that can carry the next floor or roof (hollow-block walls are NOT designed to carry a load).
So every room will become some kind of 'box' (which is stronger than a hollow-block building) and all rooms/walls together will resist any pressure coming from any direction; not only earth-quakes or storms but also the 'natural' movement of the building throughout the years.

Your building will be finished quicker and become more durable than with hollow blocks obviously.

Only a few of our staff members and skilled workers will manage the building-process; we use mostly local labour and -resources to minimize costs.

We do not simply 'use metal panels to cast walls'; our engineers developed a unique building procedure (to be patented) to construct houses and commercial buildings that are built FASTER and LAST LONGER.

In the space between two panels you find the steel reinforcing bars.

Hollow Block

American Construction

Method; hollow block walls placed seperate between concrete columns.

Cost; a little cheaper.

Construction time; longer due to more labor because the walls, windows and door-openings have to be plastered. (plaster can cause peeling and cracking.)

Construction time; up to 2x faster.
The walls, windows and door-openings are direct ready for paint after casting/drying; precise and smooth. No need for plastering.

Strength; the building consists of columns that carry the next floor or roof. The hollow-block walls are placed seperately between the columns; they are not load-bearing.
 

Strength; the building consists of columns and walls made of steel-reinforced concrete. Both can cary the next floor or roof.
All walls form some sort of box which is a very strong structure; all rooms support eachother and can resist pressure from any direction during storm or earthquake and through many years to come; Durability is high.

Insulation; none.

Insulation; optional; save money on electricity bills for aircon and reduce noise from outside.
