Adopting the REZICAST® System for an Aboriginal Housing Office project significantly accelerated the speed at which the construction was completed. The intelligent design of the REZICAST® System enabled us to achieve true lock-up in less than 10 days, minimising our exposure to weather conditions. The versatility of the system is a great advantage particularly during the wetter seasons.
We were able to become cashflow positive within the early weeks of the project. As the solid precast concrete panels are manufactured in factory conditions, it ensures a high-level quality product. This mitigates workmanship error and defects requiring rework.
In comparison to a conventional build, we found that using REZICAST® System, there was far less waste on site, and we were able to save dramatically on preliminaries. As a result, handover can be achieved with in a few months as opposed to 6-12months. The underlying benefit for our business, is not just the efficiencies for onsite resources dedicated to the project, but the office resources allocated to the project. It gave us more room to focus on other projects and free up our business’s resources.
We found that due to the speed at which construction activities transition, we had to be proactive in planning. Feedback was positive from our subcontractors, as the program was precise and they were able to work off a firm program. Overall, we were impressed by the REZICAST® System’s adaptability to strict design briefs, to meet government specification, and varied site constraints.
We believe the Patented REZICAST® Home Building System is poised to become a new construction standard in Australia, helping to address the housing shortage while delivering efficiencies on future projects well beyond residential builds.
