HAUL AND SET

Precast construction meets the expectation of cost in building structures and has proven to be the most suitable technology for India. It is also the most effective when there is a large volume of construction that requires a balanced meeting of quality, cost and speed.

As India speeds ahead with development and wants to become a global economy, there are many issues that are hampering the country’s progress. There is a growing demand for high quality building infrastructure - both in the residential and commercial space – and for buildings that are durable and affordable for both, the present and next generation of users. Getting capital financing for plants and machinery is still a big problem in India.

In fact, the construction industry’s challenges can be solved with technologies such as precast. Firstly, precast technology uses reinforced concrete, the cheapest raw material on the planet. Secondly, it is compatible with existing building codes and suited to seismic zones as India is prone to earthquakes. Thirdly, it is efficient due to its ability to save raw materials and manpower.
