Block and beam technology is transforming the construction industry as the safest, most efficient, and cost-effective method for building residential and commercial structures. Whether in the city or upcountry, builders can use this technology for projects like cold rooms and underground water tanks.
Recently, we used our beam and block technology to solve a client’s dilemma in Narok County
Client’s Dilemma
The project took place in Narok County, where our client, living abroad, planned to build a commercial development. She had been sending funds to the project manager, but upon returning, she found no progress had been made. This left her in a dilemma with limited time to act. Determined to complete the project before leaving, she took an active role in the construction process. Her main needs were:
· The functionality of the building
· Safety and quality of the building
· Completion time of construction process
An engineer working on her mother’s project in Busia County introduced her to the block and beam flooring concept, and she quickly decided to adopt it.
Project Details
This project consisted of a first Floor Slab of an area of 205 SM; a 200 mm Thick Slab comprising a commercial building including Shops, Office Suites and Restaurants. The Building is located in midst of Narok town County.
BEAM AND BLOCK TECHNOLOGY – Ecoconcrete Solution
Our client chose this technology for its quick and easy installation. Moreover, the timely delivery of beams and blocks eliminated the need for slab curing and reduced on-site material theft. Additionally, she only required a competent site supervisor and a few unskilled laborers to complete the job efficiently.
Once laid, the floor provided an immediate working platform, eliminating the need for shuttering or propping. The team swiftly completed plumbing and electrical work after finishing the building, further accelerating the process. Within weeks, her construction project was complete, allowing her to fly back abroad without delays!
