- 2. SITE VISIT
- 3. ‘I’ Shape Lintels Interlocking Compressed stabilized mud blocks Blocks of different size • Can be produced on site. • Mortar less masonry. • No paint to be used as it gives out its natural color. • No curing is required. • G+2 load bearing construction possible • Pre stressed. • Tested before used. • Makes it easier for placing conduits. • 3 mm steel reinforcement is used
- 4. • No smell • Gives a natural look • Grooves for plumbing and for electric conduits are easy to make . • Reduces 25% of material and gives sound insulation if rat trap bond is used
- 5. Arch Roof Panels • Minimum Reinforcement of size 3-6mm is used. • Joints can be concealed with a cement plaster or mud plaster.
- 6. Precast Cantilever Steps • They are pre manufactured and can be easily assembled. • Minimum reinforcement of 6-12mm is used. • Aggregates of finer particles and smaller sizes are used. • Its more like a Ferro cement mixture without mesh but with reinforcements. • They are cured for 7 to 14 days.
- 7. Spiral stairs • Minimum 6mm steel reinforcement is used. • 4 mm GI wiring is used to tie the reinforcements. • No need of centering as it takes the shape of the mould.
- 8. • Kadapa slabs are used. • They can be used as the roof. • If used for roof centering can be avoided. • It reduces usage of steel and concrete. • Can also be used as slab to cover the sump or STP along with provided reinforcements. • Used for plinth of a structure.
- 9. Micro concrete roof tiles • Micro Concrete is a mixture of cement and very fine aggregates. • Achieves strength in less time.
- 10. • These Micro concrete roof tiles are stocked and sold or used for the construction. • These are tested before use. Can be manufactured at site but had to be given time to set down and get the shape.

- 12. Arch panel Roof
- 14. Mud Blocks with waste tile pieces can be used for aesthetic purpose.
- 15. Rain water Harvesting system • Only the First flush has to released (usually to plants) • The water goes through three courses of sand and stones of different thickness. • When water passes through these courses its filtered automatically. • When the tank above is full it is sent to recharge the ground water.
- 16. • Jali blocks can be used for pavements/ Portico. • Mud can be filled and where there is a chance for the growth of the plants. Jali block windows with a different pattern.
