Housing Technologies in The Philippines

The document discusses several alternative building technologies used for mass housing construction in the Philippines, including modular building systems, precast concrete panels, light gauge steel framing, and structural insulated panels. These technologies offer benefits over conventional construction such as lower costs at scale, faster construction times, stronger and more durable materials, and more environmentally friendly options. Examples of specific technologies described are MyHouse modular units, Aluflix formworks, Amsteel tunnel forms, light gauge steel framing, and structural insulated panels.

Alternative Building

Technologies Used in Mass


Housing in the Philippines
Why go Alternative?

Cheaper than conventional when applied in a large scale

Faster application

Less time consuming

Stronger, more durable and sustainable

Environmentally friendly
Accredited Technologies
My|House Modular Building Technology

Modular construction is a term used to


describe the use of factory-produced
pre-engineered building units that are
delivered to site and assembled as large
volumetric components or as substantial
elements of a building.
Benefits of Modular Technology

Economy of scale through repetitive


manufacture
Rapid installation
High level of quality control
Low self weight leading to foundation
savings
Suitable for projects with site constraints
Limited disruption in the vicinity of the
construction site
Excellent acoustic insulation due to double
layer construction
Adaptable for future extensions, and ability
to be dismantled easily and moved if
required
Modular Ferro-Concrete Building System

The technology has been derived from


ferro-cement, an innovation introduced by
Pier Luigi Nervi, and conventional reinforced
concrete thus the name Ferro- Concrete.
It retains the inherent qualities of
conventional reinforced concrete, while
allowing it to take forms and configurations
that are comparatively thin in section, light,
rigid and structurally efficient, whether they
are prismatic, plain or curved surfaces.
Aluflix Formworks

Formworks for concrete pouring


Walls, slabs and foundation are formed all
at the same time, forming a single whole
unit
Uses less time, labor, materials cost and
environment-friendly
Amsteel Structure Tunnel Form Technology

Use of tunnel-like concrete forms in


building cell-like units
produces high quality monolithic
structures
Eliminates the use of plastering
JC Wall Slab System

Use of aluminum forms to construct shear


walls or wall slabs
Applied to minimize construction time
and labor cost
Aluma Easy Set Housing and Bldg. System

Used for cast-in-place concrete


construction
Makes use of lightweight and durable
aluminum concrete forms
Eliminates plastering, has smooth finish
Suitable for mass construction
Lightweight Concrete

concrete of substantially lower unit weight


than that made from gravel or crushed
stone.
excellent workability, thermal and sound
insulation properties, it is moisture and fire
resistant
The strength of such concrete is however
low. But it is of no consequence as this
concrete is not expected to bear any loads.
Because of the light weight, this concrete is
very suitable for earthquake proof
structures.
Pre-cast Technology

Precast concrete is a construction product


produced by casting concrete in a reusable mold
or "form" which is then cured in a controlled
environment, transported to the construction site
and lifted into place
Precast (panels) are only used within ranges of
exterior and interior walls, flooring, stairs, columns
and beams.
There is greater control over material quality and
workmanship in a precast plant compared to a
construction site.
The forms used in a precast plant can be reused
hundreds to thousands of times before they have
to be replaced, often making it cheaper than
onsite casting when looking at the cost per unit of
formwork.
Formblock
Plaswall

custom-manufactured modular walls


It is a fast, hassle-free, hygienic and
economical, pre-engineered and pre-
fabricated modular load-bearing
construction system.
It uses 100% recycled plastic HIMI (High
Impact Moulded Inserts) ,bonded between
two layers of Fibre cement sheets in situ and
erected to produce a straight-to-finish wall.
A monolithic structure is then created by
filling the entire structure with concrete.
Additional load capacity can be obtained
by providing extra reinforcing bars and/or
increasing the grade of the concrete.
Light Gauge Steel Framing System

Steel is used as framework for buildings and is


enclosed by fiber cement boards and other
allowable building materials.
They are light, and allow quick building without
heavy tools or equipment
Their higher strength allows greater spacing between
members when compared to wood frame
construction
It is able to shape itself to any form, and can be clad
and insulated with a wide range of materials.
It is easy to change or modify this construction at any
point in its lifespan.
There are a great range of systems
and products catering to this type of construction.
non-combustible
Light gauge steel structures do not rot, shrink, warp,
or decompose like wood structures
Permaform

Permaform is a system that has a main


component of double panel boards
(Fiber Cement Board) & is adhesively
separated by an adaptor that are glued
at its inner surface.
The adaptor is glued at pattern that
would allow the flow of concrete inside
the panel.
This is in replacement or a better
alternative than a conventional concrete
hollow block wall or masonry wall.
Structural Insulated Panels

Structural insulated panels (SIPs) are a high


performance building system for residential
and light commercial construction.
The panels consist of an insulating foam
core sandwiched between two structural
facings, typically oriented strand board
(OSB).
SIPs are manufactured under factory
controlled conditions and can be
fabricated to fit nearly any building design.
The result is a building system that is
extremely strong, energy efficient and cost
effective. Building with SIPs will save you
time, money and labor.
