Dear msn,

Thank you for the info share.
I am looking for info on Rapidwall or gypcrete wall panel house construction. It is also Green and cost effective solution.
Any information of house constructions with above technology in Bangalore? I saw some discussions happened here some time back in 2009 by site.sale, after that no information/updates.

Best Regards,
prakum

I had tried to find out information. Contacted the company for details and they did respond back. But problem is (or was at that time) that there were not many sufficiently trained architects and engineers who would take up these projects. This was a few years back (perhaps around 2009), but maybe that situation has improved.

I liked that the product supports green construction, is very quick and efficient to complete construction, there is very little dust and litter around the property after completion and many more things. They show pictures of homes constructed in Australia about 20 years back, still in good shape - so performance is not an issue.

Thank you for info blrsitseeker.
I got one person from Udupi who is archtitect and also supports in construction with the Rapidwall building constructions. He constructed some houses at Udupi and nearby places. His name is Sudhir Acharya.

Also, recently a video is updated in youtube. IIT Madras people constructed a two storeyed house with Rapidwall technology and looks really good, not less than any conventional RCC framed structure.

Is anybody planning to go with this type of construction in bangalore?

Recently I come across another method of quick construction technology used by our karnataka State Police Housing Corporation. A 1500 sq.ft Ground and First Floor building was done in just 17 days at their Audugodi quarters with all amenities and which is earthquake/fire/flood resistant and cost effective.

As the file sizes are very huge, i can't attach here. You can find the details in the below links.

Thank you msn.
My basic question is that are these types of buildings are really works for individual houses in terms of safety, look, life etc?

Because coming from a middle class family, I am looking for one time investment for house construction. So technically how safe and aesthetic these building are?
No convincing answers for the above aspects anywhere in net.

So I would like to check if anybody already constructed their home with these newer technology or interested to go in and around bangalore?

Rather than searching over net, I suggest you to visit this layout and find out the details personally.
That gives better & Clear experience for you.

Another unique construction example using traditional "TOTTIMANE" theme usually seen in the rural areas.

Hi,
