Africa - the sleeping giant in the Construction World

As they say, is the need for the mother of invention. Now that globalization is here for us, the Africans must be in their game design methodology to meet the demand of the current. Issues such as population explosion, urbanization, the limited supplies of materials must, labor costs, etc., are addressed.

In the early days the work was not a major obstacle, since people were slaves used to build facilities such as Fort Jesus. Currently under designStructures, the cost of labor be included to enable the project to be profitable.

STANDARDIZATION

Africans should use the new developments in other parts of the world. The Building Code in Kenya should be open to other rules, such American standards, which are sophisticated when it comes to the use of pre-engineered steel building permits. It 'about time that someone came to African standards, no matter how improbable it may seem. AfterResearch on African designs, such as Adobe, wood structures can be made, a standard, are the rest of the world to assist in their selection.

ADOBE WALLING

Home Grown solutions for buildings, which have been used for centuries here in Kenya has brought new life to alleviate the housing shortage.

Adobe has been used to centuries.Research in Kenya should be made for sale, use Adobe's construction. Currently, the Indian and Chinese exporterscement-fiber panels for use as wall cladding. Adobe technology is further explored'm sure someone will be enterprising enough to come soon with a version similar to fiber-cement panels and ease of construction costs.
the world's leading multinational cement international La Farge began as the first step so its never too late.

CERAMICS

China and India are good business exporting ceramic tiles according to Kenya. Ceramic tiles are basicallymade of clay, that we face here in Kenya.

Our ancestors have been for many centuries now, clay pots by Clay. The production of ceramic tiles is comparable to the traditional method of firing clay pots. Therefore, if an enterprising Kenyan can with a process for the commercial production of ceramics, we will not need to complete this "Asian Soil import in Kenya.

Thatch

The product coverage is more expensive on the market of stone coated steelTile-thatched roof profile. E 'cards sold in Kenya by South African companies such as Harvey covers, Australian Gerard space and style, and Dura roof.

This imitates thatch roof, which we use here have been for centuries in Kenya. This roof is made of straw, because it has the best aesthetics and insulation. This is also another possibility, that Africans can work to improve the delivery of construction materials.

Texture paint

L 'color more expensive on the market when the finish rough texture as the "Crown Ruff N Tuff is. Moreover, this color is expensive, because it looks good from the wall of mud and Adobe superior insulating properties of the Adobe tries to capture mud walls .

The walls of adobe mud used for centuries in Africa. If we can work to improve and his preparation for the global market, then create and save a lot of job changes.

Some factoriesSouth African production of imitation plastic straw, the rest of the world is exported. If we put in some research, you can definitely find a solution that is better than existing copies.

WOODEN DOORS & furniture

Ports more expensive on the market right now are wood doors bent by hand. In Kenya we have the magnificent doors Swahili. They, too, these are produced for export to the world market, then this will result in creation of jobsand revenues here in Africa.

In Kenya, we are very creative and wooden furniture that is traditional. This can be commercially produced for export. A good example is the furniture of bamboo Ramboo, Mombasa Road, built in South Africa and Kenya exported sold.

FLOORS

Imported stone counter and slate tiles are very expensive. In Kenya we Mazeras stone floors, if that can cut and polished, an important export for itsthe country. Therefore, it is important to note that the potential of Africa, the world is only the supply of building materials. All you have to do is think outside the box and provide the world with unique products at an affordable price.

It is to awaken a sleeping giant waiting in this area. We hope that the new constitution of this giant awaken.
