Moladi

Moladi is a low-cost housing construction technology and system primarily used in South Africa. The system utilizes reusable, recyclable plastic formwork to construct walls, floors, and roofs of a dwelling. Concrete is poured into the formwork, which, once set, is removed and reused to build subsequent units.

The key features of the Moladi system include:

• Formwork: The core of the system is the reusable, interlocking plastic formwork. This allows for rapid and efficient construction.

• Concrete Pouring: Concrete is poured into the formwork to create the structural elements of the house.

• Speed of Construction: The system is designed to significantly reduce construction time compared to traditional brick and mortar methods.

• Cost-Effectiveness: By using reusable materials and streamlining the construction process, Moladi aims to provide affordable housing solutions.

• Durability: The concrete structures are designed for long-term durability and resilience.

Moladi has been employed in various housing projects, particularly in addressing the need for low-cost housing in developing communities. The technology is often promoted as a sustainable and efficient solution to housing shortages.
