Advantages
SpeedThe mold sets a planned daily construction pace. The tasks carried out with the System are mechanical and repetitive, thus achieving almost complete control of execution times. It is a completely industrialized construction. A complete "shell-and-core" unit is built each day that is, ready for the subsequent finishing tasks. These are planned with absolute precision and greatly simplified due to the exact measurements in all areas. This makes it possible to build complete buildings from near the beginning stage of construction.
Economical
The PUJOL-BARCONS System increases productivity to levels only reached in the mechanized industry and, for a variety of reasons, this way of working has a direct impact on the reduction and thorough control of costs:
1.Minimizes work force and employs unskilled labor that are trained in the handling of the System. Since the work teams carry out the same tasks daily, they quickly reach a high degree of specialization.
2.Minimizes human error and, consequently, the corrective tasks to rectify them. All elements, parts and pieces of the mold are manufactured to size for the project and, therefore, need only be assembled on-site following the operational sequence established, with no need for the workers to carry out measurements or improvisations.
3.Simplifies and lowers costs for finishing work due to the precision of the measurements, which permit the industrialization of the finishing.
4.Due to the reduction in execution times, it allows for rapid economic recuperation of the investment.
Quality
The industrialized and standardized nature of the construction with molds allows for a greater quality of work, both in the finishing and in the planning of subsequent tasks. The work carried out using the mold is always superior to that of traditional or prefabricated construction because the whole building forms a single monolithic body that is highly resistant to earthquakes, gale-force winds or any other climatologic phenomenon.
The structural resistance of reinforced concrete is well known. The housing disasters which occur continuously around the world due to weather would not arise in MONOLITHIC buildings of reinforced concrete. With adequate structural calculations a multi-story building could be knocked over without suffering any damage.
Furthermore, the buildings have other essential characteristics such as absolute acoustic and thermal insulation and high fire resistance.
Regarding the finishing of the buildings, the patented PUJOL-BARCONS System facilitates the completion of the buildings due to the precise and repetitive measurements. In addition, the hanging of the doors, windows and other elements which make up the finishing work, are perfectly set.
Environmental Protection
The PUJOL-BARCONS System generates around 80% less waste than traditional construction. As a result of this almost complete elimination of debris, it is a clean and environmentally friendly building System, which favors sustainable construction and a significant reduction in costs resulting from the decrease in production of residues.
