@ Akash & Architects:

Not all architects are so dumb man.

They dream and you Structural guys have to make it real. Thats all.

I have both Architects & Structural guys in my firm and I am the peace maker.

I have been trying to bring in modern technology into the projects which we do but I face tremendous resistance from all quarters - educated to uneducated.

The main stumbling block is - Chalta Hai attitude. Perfection or Near Perfection is taboo.

Actually better planning (even taking more time) and by using better technology, we can really reduce the cost & time of construction as a whole. But very few realise this.

We introduced Post Tension Slab for the first time in India (in Chennai done by VSL, Singapore), a decade or more back. We had a height restriction problem since the location was under Airport Flight path funnel. By using PT slabs, we reduced the height of each floor and were able to build one extra floor within the total height permitted.

The developer spent upto 30% extra on basic structure due to PT slab as the steel pylons were imported and we had to use the trained labor from Singapore / Thailand. But he got one more floor and the extra rent from the same paid for the extra cost within a few years.

Similarly we use Precast / Prefab construction for Govt schools / Primary Health centres/ Military bases, mainly in rural areas and border areas. The construction is quicker, cheaper and eco friendly.

Affordable Housing / Low cost housing by using this technology can cater to / solve the huge demand for housing by lower middle class in India. But very few developers have accepted this.

Yes,I have met some excellent architects too,most of them are heavily experienced and they have learnt basics of structures too.

Good that your firm follows parallel design process.

Rightly said sir,

Mysore won an award under JNNURM for making use of mivan technology for low cost housing.

BTW low cost housing using exposed concrete/rcc walls is catching up in India
