New construction material

I wan to log this because, others may otherwise claim first reporting privilege. My FIL has suggested that buidings can be constructed using GI metal sheets and thermacol. The idea ia as follows:

1. Layer 1- GI sheet of appropriate thickness
2. Layers 2-4- thermacol sheets of appropriate thickness
3. Layer 5 - Undulating GI sheet of specified thickness.


The above sheets of uniform dimensions are held together by nuts and bolts. The thermacol sheets are prevented from compression by using a sleeve between the GI sheets.

This is the basic building block - much like a Lego building block. These can be screwed onto to a framework of MS iron pipes or poles. The same building block can be used for the walls, floor and the roof.

Appropriate finishing can be done for the floors - concrete/tiles/linoleum, roof and walls (wall paper/paint).

The GI sheets give the structure strength and the thermacol sheets give insulation to temperature.

I will soon upload a picture of the block and also the cost per unit / per unit construction area.
