BUILDING TECHNOLOGY >>

ADVANTAGES

>Larger sizes of blocks: It gives more coverage in day work hence reduces labour cost.

>Jointing systems of channels and roof blocks eliminate excessive formwork and setting time allows faster construction.

>Easy workability – No need of specialized machinery but only semi skilled workers working under technical persons.

>Blocks extruded and burnt under strict quality control imparting more strength and beautiful aesthetic finish.

>Tremendous resistance to water, termite and fire. This makes the work mope safe in all weather conditions.

>Most suitable for farm houses and resorts at out skirts of Mumbai and any part of the country where insulation is needed to keep house warm or cool, as per the season’s need..

>Low water absorption quality ensures less possibility of algae formation. It is almost water repellent.

>Its compact and consolidated webs supports hollow shell of block to make it non porous and sturdy. These make our structure more durable and strong over other conventional material.
