The Model T of mass housing - moladi The mass production techniques Henry Ford championed in the automotive industry, lean production and lean assembly, is what our CEO, Hennie Botes is focused on implementing in affordable mass housing in order to eliminate waste, speed up production resulting in cost reduction   moladi - Mass Housing Construction System Hennie Botes - CEO of moladi - Ford Model T Mr Hennie Botes, CEO of moladi , talks about solving the housing problem in developing countries and helping relieving poverty, through the use of a reusable, recyclable and lightweight plastic formwork mold.   moladi approaches building construction as a "Production Line" similar to that of the automotive industry.

This refers to simplifying the process of assembly through industrialisation, modularisations, standardisation, and continuous flow processes. Th...

moladi - Solving Problems  moladi - Solution Thinking    moladi - Solving problems The need for quality homes are not being addressed by the conventional masonry construction method. Addressing the lack of skilled artisans   moladi   designed a reusable mould to simply cast a monolithic reinforced structure insitu. The speed at which the structure is produced reduces the cost drastically. With the reinforcing specified by an   professional engineer and the mix design controlled, quality is   guaranteed on every structure.  moladi - Solution Thinking Beyond the brick  For more information visit www.moladi.co.za   Keywords - moladi, Henry Ford, building system beyond the brick, solution thinking, design #moladi #plasticformwork, affordable housing, Finance, materials, construction, finance, partnership, Hennie Botes,

The ‘Henry Ford’ of mass housing - moladi

The ‘Henry Ford’ of mass housing - moladi The 'Henry Ford' of mass housing - moladi Moladi is a construction system that harnesses an innovative reusable, recyclable and lightweight plastic formwork as a mould, which is filled with an aerated mortar (concrete without stone), to construct the walls of a house in as little as a day. Each set of Moladi formwork panels can be reused 50 times, making the technology cost-effective due to its repetitive application, and reducing the time, labor and transportation cost of construction significantly. The Moladi system produces durable and permanent structures in a production line process.  moladi moulding mass housing production line  mass housing production line moladi Read more at - moladi mass housing production system - Model T of Housing Tags - moladi, Henry Ford, mass, housing, building, system, low income homes, low income housing, production line, formwork, modular, panels, concrete, affordable, innovative, technology, product...
