ABOUT THE EVENT
AAK organized the Architect’s Chapter Golf Tournament on April 1, 2022, at Karen Country Club. The tournament happens annually as a revenue-generating activity that funds their other monthly outreach programs all year round. EcoConcrete was among the proud sponsors of this event, we were there to deconstruct misconceptions about our product and create more awareness in that target market. We interacted and showcased our product to different architects, engineers, quantity surveyors, and construction managers. The number of inquiries kept increasing at an overwhelming rate, showing how intrigued people were by the suspended floor system.
CLIENTS DILEMMA
Most clients sought information on the structural integrity of the beam and block slab, while others wanted details on its functionality, installation, and cost-saving benefits. However, as a modern system, it faced resistance from those accustomed to traditional methods.
SOLUTIONS BY ECO CONCRETE
Considering the dilemma potential clients seemed to experience, our certified engineers explained in-depth the durability properties of the slab and its advantages. A demonstration structure showed clients how to install beams and blocks, giving them a clear visual of the product.
“A precast floor system lowers construction costs while meeting client expectations and maintaining quality. It installs quickly, requires minimal labor, and eliminates shuttering or reinforcement. The slab also provides a ready working platform, cutting out 21 days of curing. This effectively addressed and corrected misconceptions about the beam and block flooring solution.
CONCLUSION
The beam and block system is new to the construction market but is quickly becoming a top choice for builders in Kenya. With rising steel and cement prices, it offers a safer, more versatile alternative that saves time and money. Contact us today to discuss a cost-effective slab solution!
