moladi Behuisings sisteem uitgestal - World Design Capital 2014

moladi Behuisings sisteem uitgestal - World Design Capital 2014 - Kaapstad

There is an ongoing and urgent need to create human settlements that allow its residents to access social and economic opportunities close to where they live. Such settlements are environmentally, economically and socially sustainable. They support people’s livelihoods through diverse opportunities and also put less pressure on the environment. Developments of this nature  build communities and provide environments of learning, safety and stability through good planning and design principles.

Concrete is making a significant contribution to the development of these settlements and this seminar provides an opportunity for all delegates to learn from industry experts of concrete’s role in this strategic area of  the built environment.
 
Hennie Botes is one of those individuals who has challenged the traditional brick and mortar method of construction by developing moladi, a reusable plastic mould. The design and simplicity of use has been recognised by Design Indaba - Africa is Now and will be showcased at the World Design Capital – Cape Town 2014.
 
Hennie’s take is that as the smoke signal was replaced by the mobile phone and the horse and carriage by the Model T, that the antiquated way of laying one brick on top of another simply is not conducive to producing quality affordable homes. Hence the title of his presentation “Move over Masonry”

Start building houses, Govt urges developers

Start building houses, Govt urges developers

IPOH: Housing developers should launch their projects now that the fuel prices and the cost of building materials have dropped, Housing and Local Government Minister Datuk Seri Ong Ka Chuan said.
Over the past six months, he said, many projects did not take off as developers chose to stall them because of the rising cost of building materials.
He pointed out an average of 100,000 homes were built each year, but as of October, only half of that amount had been delivered so far.
“We always need the sale of houses to generate economic activity. Every house has 140 components, so if the developers stop building, then this also affects the factories producing the building materials.
“The professional bodies would have no business and this creates a backlash in the industry,” he told reporters at a Perak Fire and Rescue Department Hari Raya celebration here on Wednesday night.
“Launch the project because the demand for houses is always there. Of course, some developers still prefer a ‘wait-and-see’ attitude,” he added.
Ong also said the ministry was working out a mechanism to stabilise the cost of building materials for the housing sector, particularly low and medium cost housing schemes.
The Government, he said, had learnt its lesson from previous experiences when steel prices, for instance, had once soared and thrown builders into a difficult position.
“We have to talk with the developers, manufacturers and building material suppliers to work out the mechanism because we cannot make a decision when it affects their interest.
“We don’t want a situation where the high prices (of building materials) affect the supply of low and middle cost houses, which are in great demand,” he added.
Among the possibilities for the mechanism was the Government stockpiling steel or rendering other form of assistance, he said.
Earlier in his speech, Ong commended the Perak Fire and Rescue Department for being one of the recipients of a ‘Pride of Workmanship’ award from the Greentown Rotary Club here.
He noted that for this year alone, state firefighters had responded to 2,089 fires, rescued people from drowning and car accidents in 2,720 cases and removed 1,166 snakes, bee hives and other dangerous animals.
