The completion period is reduced by 30% in comparison to conventional
construction method. We have completed a two-storey detached house
in Petaling Jaya (for a lawyer, Mr. Lee) with a built-up area of
4,600 sq ft. It required only 6 workers in 3 weeks to demolish an
existing house, complete the foundations, construct paneling, floor
stab and to fit in partitions. It only took 3 months
to complete the entire house including internal finishing.
Testimonial from house owner Mr. Lee
My double-storey detached house was completed within 3 months of
commencement of construction. The use of the pre-cast panels known
as O-stable panel system resulted in substantial savings, both in
terms of time and also cost of construction. It is likely that had
conventional methods of construction been used, the cost of construction
would have increased by as much as 30%.
The finishing is excellent. The walls are smooth and the lines clean.
However, the most impressive feature of the construction is the
ventilation system. The air-conditioners in the house are used sparingly.
Even on a hot day, the inside of the house is relatively comfortable.
Testimonial from Norizamshah Zainal, Kumpulan Lebar Daun CEO
We choose this system because we want customers to be satisfied
with the quality of houses. We wish to have a constant quality all
throughout from number 1 to number 4000.
I think you've got to look at the future outlook of the construction
business itself. With less dependent of foreign workers, I think
a lot more developers might have to adopt this technique somehow
rather.
