Modules are extracted from steel mould in one piece
Walls are less than 2 inches thick for light weight and reduced cost- without sacrificing strength or structural integrity
Concrete ceiling & floor joists cast in place for additional strength
Openings for windows, doors, and electrical outlets are cast in place
Interior surfaces are drywall smooth: ready for paint or tile application. No sub-floors required.
Finishing processes are completed using assembly line techniques: painting, insulating, exterior stucco, installation of doors, windows, interior partition walls, plumbing and electrical lines, light fixtures, toilets, sinks, cupboards, stairs, etc.
Each mould is capable of producing one module per day. Total cycle time to build a house is 7-9 days
Result: with 300 days of production, a 48-mould plant can produce approximately 3,600 single family dwellings per year (68 m² homes requiring 4 modules each)
Superior quality control and cost efficiency due to assembly line production techniques (similar to automobile manufacturing line)
Controlled factory environment, materials and workers are protected from the elements
Reduced interior finishing costs, concrete smooth enough for paint, tile or carpet application; sub floors not required
Significant savings versus traditional concrete/masonry construction requires less concrete than other concrete structures
Use of an assembly line makes the construction process purely mechanical and eliminates the need for skilled trades people and labour.
