Abstract

Over the last few years, there has been an increase in the demand for low-cost housing. As the demand for low-cost housing and construction grows, an innovative building solution has become essential. In recent years, many developers have experimented with technologies that can reduce overall construction costs, making housing more affordable for those who are less fortunate. The study's goal is to increase the use of Plaswall and provide more information about it so that it is known by more people. Two tests were performed on the Plaswall and Concrete Hollow block to compare and prove their durability and efficiency. This paper will investigate the affordable housing produced by an innovative system and present various studies demonstrating how efficient the Plaswall panel system is in comparison to traditional construction. The information gathered came from a variety of sources, including websites, studies, and experiments.
