Technical Details

The patented REZICAST® Home Building System is a complete construction methodology created by Mick Johnson, a working builder, whilst searching for efficiencies, sustainability and resilience to assist the industry. 

Rapid Build

10 Day Lock-up, 10 Week Total Build

Traditionally precast concrete wasn’t suitable for the residential market due to its slow installation process, however with REZICAST®, a crane installs the precast panels and roof trusses in one day. The REZICAST® system therefore delivers all the benefit of precast concrete without the hassle of long installation timeframes.

The 10 days to lock-up/10 weeks total build time is based on:

  1.  A standard 4-bedroom, 2 bathroom, single story home – for larger homes or two storey designs, an additional week or two may be required
  2. A reasonably level block – for steep blocks, an additional week or two may be required for site cuts 

Disaster Resistant

Bush Fire Resistant

The time delay for the fire resistant level is 180 mins for 150mm thick precast.

Cyclone Resistant

Engineered tie-downs are applied to resist cyclonic winds and are quick and easy to install. A high level of impact resistance comes with having a fully engineered solution and the use of precast concrete panels as an external structure.

Flood Resilience

The structural engineered precast walls on the external of the home (which are sealed) make REZICAST® highly effective against flood water.

Termite Resistant

With structural loading on the precast, and not the internal frames, REZICAST® is highly resistant to termites.

Unsurpassed Strength

Ground Movement Resistant

REZICAST® effectively floats rather than settling, making it ground movement resistant, thereby avoiding the settlement cracking you get with brick. 

Minimal Ongoing Maintenance

Designed as a fully engineered solution, the patented REZICAST® system offers strength & stability over the entire structure with minimal maintenance required over the life of the home as precast concrete is a strong, durable and versatile building material.

Superior Liveability

High Energy Efficiency

Reduced ongoing heating and cooling costs due to the thermal efficiency of the precast panels. High energy efficiency ratings mean it costs less to heat and cool.

Acoustic Benefits

A precast home will outperform other types of construction when it comes to liveability. The density of the cured Precast Panels assists to enhance your quiet enjoyment by reducing outside noise that is a part of everyday living in populated areas.

Fully Customisable

Endless colours, textures and finishes can be applied. You can leave the panels raw, use various textured paints, stamped or polished just to name a few. Check out our gallery for some inspiration.

Floor Plan Flexibility

In most designs a REZICAST® build will not have internal load bearing walls allowing you to reconfigure the layout as your family evolves and the kids leave home.

Easy Rapid Installation

Traditionally precast concrete wasn’t suitable for the residential market due to its slow installation process, however with REZICAST®, a crane installs the precast panels and roof trusses in one day. It’s not “tilt up”, panels arrive “straight and true” for easy installation. No internal bracing, no LVL lintels required.

The REZICAST® system delivers all the benefit of precast concrete without the hassle of long installation timeframes.

Compliant

The patented REZICAST® Home Building System is an engineered solution and exceeds all requirements in the National Construction Code Australia wide.

Material Efficiencies

In most cases there is no requirement for structural grade timber for internal walls as they are not load bearing.

Concreter Efficiencies

No set out, or formwork, needed for ground floor slab.

No Footings

Minimise excavation and “out of ground” time with our Engineered Pad System, suitable for use in any terrain.

Eliminate Mistakes & Rework

Internal drainage measured and set out off standing precast walls, no mistakes.

Powered Site

Meter box can be installed on 2nd day of construction providing permanent safe power.

Weatherproof

With REZICAST®, your site will be weatherproof in 2 to 10 days, avoiding weather delays and allowing your trades to work undercover.

Minimal Waste

Less material, and trades, on site up to lock-up stage, therefore less waste and clean-up. The walls are also fabricated in a controlled environment limiting the use of water, reuse formwork and benefit from renewable power.
