The Faster and Cheaper Way to Build
Our innovative building solution is changing the game when it comes to constructing durable, energy-efficient walls. Compared to traditional brick-and-mortar construction, using Polyblock Insulated Concrete Forms (ICFs) can help you save on labour, material, and time costs.
Labour Cost
Using Polyblock can also help you save on labour costs. The average team of three can lay 500 bricks per day or build 4.8m² of wall, while the same team of three workers can install an average of 40 PolyBlock ICFs (including reinforcements) per day which equates to 14.4m² of wall. This makes building with PolyBlock ICFs three times faster than Brick & Mortar. You would require a team of nine workers to build at the same rate as Polyblock using brick and mortar. This would increase your salaries by up to three times the amount you would have spent using Polyblock ICFs.
Maintenance Cost
One of the key benefits of using Polyblock ICFs is the reduced maintenance costs over time. The high-quality materials used in the construction of Polyblock ICFs ensure that they have a long lifespan, with minimal upkeep required. Additionally, Polyblock ICFs are an eco-friendly option, reducing construction waste and minimizing the need for additional materials. This translates into significant cost savings for builders, while also promoting sustainability and reducing the environmental impact of construction.
Building Cost
The Below Calculations were based on a 150mm ICF on a dry mix of 1.4m³ to fill x36 Blocks @ .0333m³ per block.
| Material | Cost per block |
|---|---|
| Polyblock ICF | R72.86 |
| Concrete | R35.70 |
| Y10 Rebar | R31.50 |
| Total | R140.06 incl. VAT |
In summary, building with Polyblock Insulated Concrete Forms costs R140.06 per block, including concrete and reinforcement, which equates to R420.18 per m² of wall. Compared to traditional brick and mortar construction, using Polyblock ICFs is not only faster and more efficient, but it can also help you save on costs in the long run.
