Bengaluru to be pioneers in quick construction of homes

In a country where people wait for years for their dream home to be built, it will now be possible to complete construction of a unit in two days. Bengaluru is set to lead the way as the city will soon see the launch the first-of-its-kind project on January 26 where people can choose a design for their independent bungalow online and the construction can be completed in a few days. “We have designed the entire project with the aim to deliver one house a day. It will be similar to buying a car; you chose the model and get it delivered. Our facility can cast a complete building in a day. We will deliver a villa in a week,” S J Vijay, director of Hommission said on the sidelines of the launching of Global Housing Challenge. The global challenge, which was kicked off by Union housing minister Hardeep Singh Puri on Monday, aims at introducing best technologies that reduce the construction period and cost as well. Vijay said they have already delivered a project in Mumbai where five-storey building with 20 apartments were built in 33 days using 3D Monolithic Modular Construction.
