Attractive housing for the Caribbean

Project: Residential housing in the Caribbean

Constructed to plan thanks to MonoFix

Around 40 million people live in the Caribbean, which stretches from the Gulf of Mexico in the west to the north of Latin America. Affordable living space is in high demand on the green coasts of the islands and archipelagos in the Caribbean Sea. Numerous residential construction projects are currently being built here, often on behalf of government ministries in the various states. Renowned construction companies rely on economical and fast serial production of buildings with the MonoFix monolithic formwork system, as with the project mentioned here.

This residential park will provide attractive housing for numerous people, both in economic and infrastructural terms. The carefully planned community has a sports center, shopping facilities, leisure facilities and children’s playgrounds. The residential units consist of well-equipped, single-storey, single-family homes, bright and friendly in a compact design. There is a choice of three different floor plans with 73 m², 90 m² or 120 m² of living space. The houses include a living room, kitchen, one to three bedrooms and one or two bathrooms.

Ideally suited for MonoFix
The experienced construction company invested in 970 m² of MonoFix formwork elements and relies on the strengths of the monolithic system when numerous, identically cut houses are to be built in large numbers – economically, efficiently and without complications. The formwork proved its worth right from the start and, thanks to its easy handling, the formwork, which consists entirely of aluminum elements, enabled rapid construction progress.

Each building unit was concreted in a single cycle. The project had one special feature, but this was no problem for MonoFix: the building roofs each have two different pitches, so the walls on the outer sides and in the middle of the building are of different heights, which gives the finished concreted houses an even higher quality appearance.
