Low Cost House Plans moladi Building Construction Technology - Low Cost House Plans Although moladi technology is primarily a manufacturer of a re-useable machine made formwork system that allows walls to be cast stronger faster for less, the principal focus is on the delivery of the “whole house”.

That means windows, doors, roof, bath, toilet, paint, ceiling, glass, electrical hardware, etc. etc. needs to be planned ordered and supplied in order to avoid a “bottle neck” that would stop production creating “waste” resulting in an increase in cost.

Utilizing a Plastic Formwork System, a method of building cast-in-place reinforced concrete structures, the walls of a house can be built in as little as a day by unskilled laborers with locally sourced materials and little waste. The system is comprised of square plastic components that join together to form wall panels from which the house is assembled. The house’s infrastructure – steel-reinforcement bars, conduits, window and door frames, pipes and other fittings – is positioned on the wall; once in place, these elements are sandwiched between a second layer of panels, forming a cavity into which a lightweight c
