Decent housing is one of the key factors in the fight against poverty and social exclusion. It is not just about putting a roof over someone’s head; access to a clean and stable home implies improving security, health, and education.
Vavantu Group would like to introduce the expertise, machinery, equipment, and technology to provide low-cost housing using alternative building materials that have the structural and technical specifications of a conventional house, we would like to introduce a simple and cost-effective fast building system of which housing costs can be reduced up to 40% with the use of this alternative technology compared to building with conventional brick method. The alternative building system is easy to understand and learn, building a house does not require skilled workers like conventional building ways where carpenters, bar benders, bricklayers, and cement renders need skills and are highly paid for the work involved. A simple and easy construction method, variable forms with the same formwork, fast construction time (two to 10 days per complete house), few building materials, can be constructed by local inexperienced job seekers, no wood required, resistant against fire and extreme climate, with low building costs
The features and uses of this alternative building material are like aerated concrete, it is a versatile material that consists primarily of a cement-based mortar mixed with at least 20% of volume air. It possesses high flow ability, low self-weight, minimal consumption of aggregate, controlled low strength, and excellent thermal insulation properties. It can have a range of dry densities, typically from 400 kg/m3 to 1600kg/m3, and a range of compressive strengths. This system can be placed easily, by pumping if necessary, and does not require compaction, vibrating, or levelling. It has excellent resistance to water and frost and provides a high level of both sound and thermal insulation. This building system eliminates the need for columns, beams, and no brickworks that collapse during natural disasters. This alternative building system is also cheaper than brickwork and plastering
