Then chase the walls for water and electrical services. Then relying on another artisan to plaster the walls. Dependent on the skills and ability of artisans to produce a house. At what cost? Conventional brick and mortar construction process: How many bricks or blocks are laid per day? Are the quantity of bricks or blocks laid per day the same for every day of the week? What happens when the bricklayer does not come to work? Is the mortar (dahga) mix to lay the bricks or blocks consistent? How many bricks or blocks are wasted or broken or stolen? Are walls straight plumb and square? How long to chase for electricity piping? How long to chase for water piping? How long does it take to do beam filling? How long does it take to plaster window reveals? Is plaster thic...

Plastic moulds moladi houses  Plastic Moulds moladi houses Plastic moulds moladi houses Unique technique for quick house building: use recycled plastic moulds structures to pour a mortar mix. The work is claimed to be done in one day (four hours to setup the mold structure, two hours to fill it), then needs 7 days to strengthen.

The current system considers the inclusion of the doors, windows, toilet and kitchen system. The electrical and plumbing systems are (somehow) integrated in the mold structure. Founded in 1986 by Hennie Botes in South Africa, moladi came to birth with this solution to the answer the critical situation of housing, combined with the lack of skills. The assembling process is apparently extremely easy, especially considering the overall timespan of a brick construction. Hennie Botes claims indeed that “over 90% of a construction team on a ...
