From spade to roof height in less than five days

Sept. 1, 2013
H+H’s all-in-one building method, Rå Build, has been used in the construction of a pair of semi-detached bungalows on a restricted site in Kessingland, Suffolk. The bungalows were built for Orwell Housing Association by Wellington Construction. <br><br>This pair of semi bungalows reached roof plate height in only four and a half days from the damp proof course to the final block being laid. Wellington Construction, whose bricklayers were all trained in the Rå Build method in 2006, is well accustomed to utilising H+H blocks in projects of this nature. With this project, time was of the essence and with the contractor’s prior knowledge it was a straightforward decision to implement the Rå Build method, H+H explains. <br><br>Rå Build is an inclusive package which comprises aircrete block work and quick setting Thin-Joint Celfix mortar. It creates the ground floors, exterior walls and upper floors and partitions creating a weathertight masonry shell for a time efficient and cost effective solution. <br><br><a href="http://www.hhcelcon.co.uk">www.hhcelcon.co.uk</a>
