The project involves the Design, Finance and Construction of two hundred and eighty-eight (288) three-bedroom Four Storey Apartment units, and two hundred and eighty-four (284) three-bedroom Duplex/Townhouses and its associated Infrastructural Works on approximately 19.7 hectares of flat land at the Housing Development Corporation’s (HDC) Oropune Housing Development at Oropune, north of the Boulevard.
The Units' design strategy is to maintain a simple layout and provide a structure of robust elements incorporating the use of lightweight Aluminium Formwork to effectively form the concrete for the walls and suspended floor slab of each unit thus ensuring "a house a day" is produced. The foundations consist of a post-tensioned slab system which proves to be a more efficient and economical design.
