Conventional Build Method

Conventional building methods using reinforced cement concrete pillars and beams with hollow cement block walls offer several advantages. Firstly, they provide structural stability and strength, making the building resistant to various external forces. This construction method is also cost-effective, as the materials used are readily available and relatively affordable. Additionally, the hollow cement block walls offer good sound and thermal insulation properties.

However, it is important to be aware of some potential limitations. Achieving consistent finish quality can sometimes be a challenge, and additional finishing work may be required to achieve the desired aesthetic standards. Quality control is crucial to ensure the proper proportions of materials are used, as inadequate proportions can result in structural weaknesses. The construction process can be time-consuming, and accurate cost estimation can be challenging.

Pros of conventional Construction

• Structural Stability: Reinforced cement concrete pillars and beams provide excellent structural stability, offering resistance against vertical and horizontal loads, including earthquakes and wind forces. This construction method is known for its strength and durability.
• Cost-effectiveness: The materials used in this construction method, such as cement, steel reinforcement, and hollow cement blocks, are relatively affordable and widely available. This makes it a cost-effective option for construction, especially for residential buildings.
• Fire Resistance: Reinforced cement concrete and hollow cement block walls have good fire-resistant properties, providing better protection against fire hazards compared to other construction methods.
• Sound Insulation: Hollow cement block walls have superior sound insulation properties, helping to reduce noise transmission between rooms or from outside sources. This can enhance the comfort and privacy of the occupants.
• Thermal Insulation: Hollow cement blocks offer natural thermal insulation, helping to regulate indoor temperatures and reduce the need for excessive heating or cooling. This can contribute to energy efficiency and cost savings in the long run.

Conventional Cons with Local contractors

1. Dealing with Multiple Vendors

Local contractors may need to coordinate with various vendors for different construction materials and services. This can lead to communication challenges, delays, and potential issues in sourcing quality materials consistently.

2. Absenteeism

Absenteeism among workers can be a common issue with local contractors. Inconsistent attendance may result in delays, impacting the overall construction timeline.

3. Erratic Time Schedule

Local contractors may face challenges in adhering to a consistent and reliable construction schedule. They may take on additional projects without adequate resources, leading to an unpredictable and erratic timeline for your construction project.

4. Resource Management Issues

Limited resources, both in terms of manpower and equipment, can hinder the efficiency of local contractors. Juggling multiple projects simultaneously may strain resources, affecting the quality and timely completion of each project.

5. Mixing Incorrect Grades of RCC

Inconsistent mixing of concrete, especially not adhering to the specified grades, can compromise the structural integrity of the building. Local contractors may not always follow best practices, leading to potential issues with the strength and durability of the construction.

6. Inadequate Curing Practices

Proper curing is essential for the strength and durability of reinforced concrete. Local contractors may not always implement consistent and adequate curing practices, resulting in potential problems such as cracks in walls and reduced structural stability.
