The key challenges facing the delivery of low cost housing in South Africa - a lack of resources, a shortage of skills, time constraints and quality control have been addressed by Great Force.
The manufacturing and assembly process reduces the number of steps required to build a house by traditional methods, resulting in less chance of the occurrence of errors, waste and rework. This results in superior quality of the product, allows for a more predictive timeline and translates into cost savings.Great Force is a cost effective, designed and built technology that far outweighs, time-consuming concrete-block masonry and expensive timber frame structures.
Great Force provides jobs for skilled and unskilled labour but, more importantly, it enables and empowers communities by providing a building technology that encourages self participation by means of skills transfer. The casting process is easily mastered and quality can be controlled.
This product was born out of the need to speed up delivery through producing a controlled quality product which is readily acccepted as integrated housing. Great Force can deliver up to 10 high quality, reinforced concrete house shells per production team per day, increased by increments of 10 units per day by introducing more production teams per site.
Great Force is an innovative, internationally proven process for manufacturing and assembly of strong, durable, certified and approved homes whilst allowing for pleasing design aesthetics that are socially acceptable.
