Future of Construction - moladi Future of Construction - World Economic Forum - Case Study - moladi     Strong population growth in many developing and emerging countries and mass urbanization – an estimated 40,000 people moving into African cities every day – create a strong demand for affordable housing. Beyond housing, many developing countries are lagging behind in access to social infrastructure and public services such as schools, hospitals or the justice system. Consider Tanzania: the country faces a shortage of 3,115 courtrooms. Moladi Construction System aims to address that magnificent challenge by providing a scalable, low-tech and low-skilled affordable building solution using in-situ casting. Founded in 1986 by South African social entrepreneur Hennie Botes, the company aims to replace the classic brick-and-mortar construction with an easier method: using lightweight, removable and re-usable plastic formwork that are filled with a patented fast setting aerated mor...

Housing - Calling entrepreneurs Housing - Calling entrepreneurs What if we told you the solution to the 25% national unemployment statistic (36% youth unemployment) and the million-plus housing backlog was already in our back yard? And what if we told you jobless, unskilled South Africans could become entrepreneurs in the house building sector and be able to build homes in their communities at a fraction of the cost and in less than a week? What would you say if we told you there is a company that is not only prepared to certify you, but to empower you too and give you a market, technology and the opportunity to grow personally and professionally?  Affordable Housing - Calling Entrepreneurs “I cast a house in a mould, not a brick in a mould,” he says on the phone from his Port Elizabeth-based office. “I can plan where the windows will be, the trusses and the cast eliminates trades that come with brick construction.” The Moladi construction system is as much about filling the basic n...

moladi-Beyond Low cost housing moladi - Beyond Low cost housing   moladi-Beyond Low cost housing moladi has been appointed to develop a brand new City Centre in Africa. The project is seen as the beginning of a new era in the “ moladi TEAM” approach. Not only is the professional TEAM made up of industry leaders but also supported by international funders that have extended an initial credit line of USD 10 Billion.   The focus of moladi has always been on affordable and low-income homes for the mass market. Due to the continuous improvements over nearly three decades moladi has emerged as a leader in the field of “producing” top quality structures in a very short period at a reduced price.   As moladi has developed a very strong footprint in Africa during this period, the natural progression in our product offering has always been to form strong alliances with local producers of materials and goods in order to further reduce costs.

Frugal Innovation In Africa | Jugaad Innovation in India Moladi: Frugal Innovation In Africa | Jugaad Innovation in India Frugal Innovation In Africa | Jugaad Innovation in India In many African countries, housing is one of the most sensitive issues affecting the lower income groups. In South Africa for example, close to 13% of the 14.3 million households are informal dwellings (Statistics South Africa, 2011). The term "informal dwelling" is often used in South Africa to designate shacks, corrugated-iron structures and other makeshift shelters. The above statistics represents about 1.8 million households (between 7.2 and 10.8 million people). Informal structures are often made of highly combustible materials such as wood and cardboard which pose serious safety and environmental concerns. The structures are easily damaged and exposed to the external elements meaning that people often live in damp, very hot or very cold conditions. The other concern is inadequate or lack of san...
