Moladi - low cost housing construction system

http://www.moladi.com/



Based in South Africa, Moladi is described as "a reusable, interlocking modular plastic formwork system for moulding complex structures". Setting out the idea behind Moladi, the site explains that, "Globally low cost housing program has increasingly become 'housing for the community by the community'. This means that any subsidy for housing must be used to the fullest extent for the benefit of the community. In practical terms it means providing as many jobs as possible within the community for the construction of quality housing with real value for money. Housing remains a primary sector of industry that can contribute towards the upliftment and empowerment of communities and well-being of children. Traditional building methods cannot possibly hope to meet the demand timeously without forfeiting quality and standards, even if the necessary skills and materials were freely available". Hence, it goes on to explain that "Moladi Construction Technology is a unique, patented plastic injection moulded formwork system, which we believe to be the beginning of an exciting new era in the construction industry, creating much needed job opportunities and facilitating the speedy delivery of quality, hurricane and earthquake resistant low cost quality houses, clinics, schools etc. without compromising on quality. We endeavour to, through this process, help many millions of poor, underprivileged people in obtaining equity in their country". The design of the site is quite well done, featuring comprehensive illustrated information about the product, including FAQs, details of the construction process, and examples of finished houses.
