A new era of construction excellence

Contractor: Argusland Inc., Cagayan de Oro, Philippines

With an increasing number of country-wide housing projects embracing this system, MEVA’s MonoFix and its benefits have become undeniable, revolutionizing the construction landscape in the Philippines. MonoFix, an adaptable and versatile monolithic formwork system, stands out for its ability to align with the unique requirements of each project.

Menzi Heights growing three times faster with MonoFix

One notable example of the successful implementation of the MonoFix system is the Menzi Heights. Developed by Argusland, a renowned land developer with a track record of successful projects, this 8-hectare, 4-phase project has been a showcase for the efficiency and benefits of MonoFix.

300 units within a year
The completed first phase of Menzi Heights was designed as economical housing, with each unit measuring 42 m². The ongoing phase 2, aimed at social housing, features units of 32 m². With the assistance of MEVA’s MonoFix system, the project aims to construct 300 units within a year, a feat that would be challenging with conventional construction methods.

During the initial installation of the MonoFix system, there was a learning curve for new users. However, the MEVA team of site supervisors provided ample training for the workers, guiding them on the “Do’s” and “Don’ts” of using the system. The MEVA team remained on-site to supervise and assist in the installation, use, and disassembly of the system until the workers became proficient in its utilization.

Three times faster
The streamlined process enabled by MonoFix allowed for a cycle completion period that is three times faster than conventional methods. Since the start of the project in February 2023, 45 units have been completed at an average of 7.5 units per month. With uniform units produced, the process became repetitive, minimizing human errors and labor requirements. This, in turn, decreased project costs, both in terms of labor and material expenditures.

The monolithic nature of the formwork system ensured that the finished units maintained consistent dimensions, unlike conventional methods where walls tend to become thicker after plastering. This contributed to the overall efficiency of the project and resulted in a seamless, standardized outcome.

The Menzi Heights project offers ideal conditions for the efficient use of MonoFix. An investment in this monolithic handset formwork system pays for itself in a short time.

The success of MonoFix at Menzi Heights is a testament to the transformative power of this innovative formwork system. As the trend towards housing projects continues to rise in the Philippines, MonoFix stands poised to lead the way, reshaping the construction industry with its reliability, efficiency and adaptability. With MEVA Philippines championing its benefits, more and more developers are expected to embrace MonoFix, ushering in a new era of construction excellence in the country.
