They say a picture is 1000 words, and in this case the words are loud! This is a standard Apartment block being built in Brazil, a country that has remarkably similar socio-economic conditions and challenges as South Africa. If you need to reduce project costs within Housing Projects, the best way is to industrialize and integrate Project Management and the Monolithic Construction Technique at concept and design stage. this will result in Production Line Management & Controls, which will streamline operations and lead to: • Simplified Procurement. • Increased Output. • Improved Quality. - Check out those Perfect Window & Door openings. • Enhanced safety. • Redundancy of Blockwork, Plastering & Screeds. • Up to a 35% Reduction of Concrete within the Slabs • 80% Reduction in snags. If your housing backlog is huge like in South Africa and Sub-Saharan Africa, perhaps you should be looking into Monolithic Construction Technique, for the same spend your output will increase by at least 10%. This project in Brazil can only be described as proper, job well done! #Formwork #Concrete #Ukuqala

Ensure you follow me, so you don't miss out on any part. Also, you don't need to be an engineer or construction savvy to learn and understand this. I've had awesome experiences working on #flatslabs, such as; 4 floors block of flats in Ikate and 6 floors hotel construction in Okun-Ajah, both situated in Lagos, Nigeria. Before we dive into this exceptional construction innovation, you need to understand what slabs are generally, the different types of slabs, then we can talk about what makes flat slabs to stand out amongst others. In building #construction, a #slab is a structural element, made of concrete, that is used to create flat horizontal surfaces such as floors, roof decks, and ceilings. A slab is generally several inches thick and supported by beams, columns, walls, or the ground. There are various types of slabs in construction, such as; Conventional slab (One-way slab, two-way slab), flat slab, waffle slab, ribbed slab, flat plates, post-tensioned slab, pretensioned slab, beam and slab, and others. Conventional slab is the most common in Nigeria. The slab is supported by beams and columns, the load is transmitted from slab to beam and then from beam to column. Conventional slab reinforcement requires high volume of concrete and steel, which makes it quite expensive and also poses high load on the columns and substructures. Those two disadvantages of conventional slabs amongst others, are the strengths of flat slabs. Flat slab is a reinforced #concrete slab supported directly by concrete columns without the use of #beams. They are supported directly by columns and loads are transferred directly to the columns or load bearing walls. In my next post, we'll talk about the different types of flat slab, and also its advantages and disadvantages. Feel free to drop what you know about this type of slab in the comment section and your questions as well. Contact me for further enquiries.

A conversation came to mind this morning that I had with the owner of a high-end pool construction company during a Ocala Metro Chamber & Economic Partnership event. Their typical install ranges from $500,000 to $1.5 million. The topic was about bidding and the prospect's reaction from being the middle to highest bidder. The common reaction is “why is the price high”, but his question back is “why are the other prices so low? What are the others leaving off? Less material, less labor, less skill, less guarentees, longer lead times, or add ons to be tacked on later in the project? The question “what is being left out” is a valid question for a managed service provider to ask their prospects.

In the construction industry in Zimbabwe, subcontractors play a significant role in ensuring the successful completion of projects. Subcontractors are specialized professionals who are hired by the main contractor to carry out specific tasks within a construction project. Their expertise in various fields such as plumbing, electrical work, and roofing allows for more efficient and high-quality work to be completed within the project timeline. The advantages of using subcontractors in construction projects are numerous, including cost-effectiveness, as subcontractors are often able to complete tasks at a lower cost compared to full-time employees. Additionally, subcontractors offer flexibility and scalability to main contractors, allowing them to easily adjust the workforce based on project requirements. Overall, subcontractors contribute greatly to the construction industry in Zimbabwe by bringing in specialized skills and enhancing the efficiency of construction projects.
