From Guest Blogger Vasan: The Ready-Mix & Eco-Friendly Construction Materials – A Revolution in Construction Industry

Construction industry today is revolutionized by several innovative concepts including the most popular eco-friendly construction concept and the concept of using ready-mix products for faster and efficient build up processes. The process of eco-friendly construction has made a way to save up the non-renewable sources of energy which are feared to be depleted in course of time. This is an innovative approach towards the development and usage of building materials that do not affect the environment or human health. Implementation of this green building technology is gaining popularity with both residential as well as commercial construction projects in advanced countries like US among which the most significant are the educational projects, healthcare projects, and independent office projects. However, the demand for this green building construction method is now shifting its focus from US to many other countries including the western, far and middle-east countries to solve the problems of environmental pollutions and depleting energy resources.

Adding to this green construction technology, there is one more significant feature driving the global construction industry with waves. It’s the use of ready-mix construction materials which has made construction a much faster and efficient process. The ready-mix construction materials are those which can be used instantly without having to perform a long detailed procedure to make the building materials at the construction site. The use of such readily available products can save up the construction time and money of the builders or contractors by allowing them to cut on the labor costs. With instant, ready-to-use construction materials the tasks like material re-handling are not required and hence the need of labor at the construction site is greatly reduced.

The best example of such ready-mix construction materials is the ready-mix plaster which is available for instant use at the job site. Usually the plaster is made at the work site by mixing sand, cement, water and various other additives. But in case of ready-mix plaster, it can be made by just mixing right quantity of water in it. Yes, it is a readily available product which is mechanically produced at the production plant. At the production unit, all these ingredients of plaster called the sand, cement, polymers and other additives are mixed in specific quantities by the machines to produce the dry, premix plaster material. So it is already made and you are required to just use it at the work site. All the laborious tasks of finding laborers, transporting the raw materials and preparing the plaster at the site are not required with the use of ready-mix plaster.

Hence in comparison to the onsite made plaster, this ready mix dry plaster can be prepared more easily and in lesser time thereby reducing the start-up time for the plastering process at the site. Moreover as it is mechanically produced, the consistency in quality is a promise every time with use of ready-mix plaster, unlike the onsite plasters whose efficiency depends on the laborers who prepare the plaster.

One added advantage with many of these readily available construction products is that they are also eco-friendly. Yes, many production units manufacture eco-friendly ready-mix construction materials and hence deliver both the advantages of faster processes and environment friendly construction to the users. So there is no harm to the nature while the users are benefited with the ultimate advantages of these instant products. Today, more and more constructors, builders, contractors or individual home owners are looking to incorporate these environment friendly, ready-to-use products in their construction work. Why not? They are benefited ultimately. Less expenditure, lesser efforts and above all they are going eco-friendly.

So, I definitely would not be wrong when i say that eco-friendly, ready-mix construction materials have revolutionized the construction industry in its best sense.
