11. The system becomes cost effective where there is considerable repetition of floor layouts on a project such as in the case of low-cost mass housing.

 

12. After the 25 cycles of reusing of our formwork system, we will reach the break-even point of the conventional formwork cost.

 

13. It requires no cranes or heavy lifting equipment.

 

14. It saves almost 50 percent construction time.

 

15. No need to use any timber or plywood.

 

16. Panels can be reused up to 150 times.

 

17. Unsurpassed construction speed.

 

18. Suitable for high rise buildings.

 

 

DISADVANTAGES:

 

1. Initial high investment.

 

2. The heat of hydration is high due to shear walls.

 

3. Compares very poorly on modifications, against brickwork constructions.

 

4. Mass Housing projects are not as high for investing in a large number of Aluminium Formwork.

 

5. Fear of theft of valuable Aluminium Extrusions & sheets & hence kit not being complete at critical stages of construction.
