Hi Everyone, How are you doing ? Could you please help me with some information on how to construct house in bangalore using GFRG technology ? Are there any such construction company available in banglore ? I want to construct my first house and have to collect more information before choosing the best low cost method to build my house. Best Regards, shamalask4 at the rate of gmail dot com
Has anyone used this technology for the construction of house in Bangalore. I am looking at the pros and cons of constructing house using gfrg. Let me know if any service is available in bangalore. my Email Id is sachinhallad@gmail.com
In this kind of construction, very less amount of concrete is used which in turn decreases the building's weight. Another thing is that as the panels come with a smooth finish, there will be no need to plaster them too. Because of the lighter weight, the building is subjected to lesser earthquake forces. Foundation cost also gets reduced with the implementation of this system.
The GFRG panels can be used for cost-effective, mass-scale and quickly buildable housing. It has improved water-proofing technology and it increases durability. And since the panels are prefabricated, they can be cut to required sizes based on room sizes, and used thus giving way to speedy construction. Recently, a two-floor building is being built in the IITM campus using these panels. It is expected to be ready on April 8 — just 29 days of construction after the foundation was completed.
Hey guys, there is something more about this.. Researchers at IIT Madras in India have developed a technology to produce GFRG panels which can also be used as floor and roof.. The RCC slabs will not be required in construction if the new technology is followed.. Even multi-story buildings can be built using the panels as load-bearing walls, floors/roofs and staircases.
Yes Lokesh, I too heard that there are ready walls being produced in market which will save construction time.. They are gypsum panels reinforced with glass fibre. An Australian company has developed a technology to make gypsum strong and water-resistant so that it can be used as load-bearing walls.
