Anyone can build - the new easy to build building system created for the low cost housing industry How does it work? How easy can it get! Why was it created?
Building has never been easier with BrickFrame - South Africa’s newest innovative building material. If you can play with Lego blocks, you can build with BrickFrame. The easy click in units are simply stacked into a framework, concrete is mixed, poured in and hand compacted. Once one row of BrickFrames is filled the framework is raised to the next level and the process starts again. South Africa i
s currently suffering from many national problems. These include a national housing shortage of between 2 – 3 million housing units, a yearly housing shortage increase which exceeds delivery, high unemployment, economically poor communities and a low growth in practical skills. These problems were the motivating factors behind the development of BrickFrame. Faster! With such a backlog in housing, a faster, easier, high turnover building process is required to improve the housing development odds. BrickFrame’s construction time is 2.8 times faster than standard Stock Brick and 1.53 times faster than Block construction. This is of great advantage for projects where a high turnover is important. Easier! BrickFrame is developed to enable ease of building. Where skilled builders need NHBRC training & qualification, this is not necessary with Brickframe – no prior training or skills are needed. Anyone can build. This allows for underprivileged community members involvement, skills development and job creation. BrickFrame is also perfect for Do it Yourself Projects. Instead of hiring a professional building team to build extensions to an exiting building, do it yourself. This saves costs through the use of your own labour and time as a result of the ease of operation. All step by step easy instructions come in the box. What do you get?
