Hands on Houses
Our new method of construction is
based on pre-cast wall panels and pre-fabricated roofing
panels. With
this method, we are able to build 15 ft x 15 ft, 2 roomed, houses for less than
US$ 3,500.
The system is ideally suited
to small business units in which House Construction teams create foundations and
assemble houses. Panel manufacturing units create wall panels and roofing
components for the construction teams.
Our Houses Are:
Strong, durable and
quake-resistant
Cool in summer, cozy in winter
Waterproof, damp-proof
and hygienic
Economical and Quick to construct
Consistent in
quality
Pre-Cast Panels
Compared to concrete blocks,
they are:
More resistant to moisture - no horizontal joints
Stronger -
internally reinforced
Attached top and bottom
Quicker to install
Can
incorporate windows and openings
Can be pre-finished
Insulated Roofing
The Roofing used in our houses is well insulated and
waterproof.
This allows the houses to be cool in Summer and cozy in Winter.
Ceilings consist of light-weight precast, polyethylene reinforced cement
panels.
The panels are covered with a layer of polyethylene sheeting, a
layer of expanded polystyrene and a thin continuous layer of mesh-reinforced
waterproof concrete.
Pre-Cast Panels. Full-length precast panels represent the next generation
in masonry units.
