BUILDING IN CONCRETE
Lightweight Aluminium Formwork Panels that are …
Super fast and efficient to erect
With no limitation to what can be built ….
These specialised aluminium form panels aremade in the USA and are supplied to over 40countries world wide.
This system will be marketed in NZ asMONOCAST.
The Monocast system has been re-engineeredand modified specifically to meet the very highstandards of the NZ Building Code andRegulations.
In almost every aspect the Monocast system willexceed the requirements of the NZ BuildingCode .
A superior building system that can be used to build …..
Architecturally Designed Houses
Conventional / Traditional Houses
Multi Storey Residential Houses
High Density - Single Level Housing
High Density Housing - Apartments
Duplex Flats / Units
• Faster
• More Cost Effective
• Achieves Superior Quality
• Allows for greater innovation
Building in Concrete using the Monocast Systemis :
• Warmer
• Quieter
• More sustainable
• Environmentally friendlier
• Cosier – more stable temperature
• Dryer – can never leak
• Reduced maintenance costs.
A Home built using the Monocast process will be :
A Home built using the Monocast system can be moreinnovative :
Faster to Build
Why use Monocast
Exterior / Interior Wall
• The formwork for a 220m2 house canbe erected in 1 day.
• The Walls can be poured late in thesame day - Concrete Companies will welcome
this as this spreads their peak morning demandsand gives them an additional work volume.
• When the forms are taken down thewall is smooth enough to paint. Level5 finish.
More Cost Effective – Less Holding Costs
Student Accommodation Block inJamaica
• This 6 Storey Student AccommodationBlock the structure was completed in 7Weeks.
• The fit out and finishing took another 5weeks.
Why use Monocast
Form Work
• The formwork can be re-used up to 1000times.
• The cost to reuse these formsdramatically reduces the cost to Build.
• Providing the plans are drawn within100mm modulations, the formwork costbecomes insignificant.
Cheaper to Build
Why use Monocast
Structurally Sound and WaterProof
• The 30mpa self levelling concrete iswaterproof.
• Exterior can be textured and painted or aform liner can make the concrete looklike bricks or weatherboards.
• Wet areas require no preparatory work.Simply cement the tiles directly to theconcrete walls or floors.
No more ‘leaky buildings’.
Why use Monocast
Superior FinishConcrete Walls
• Aside from the fact that all the walls areconcrete, they are by their very naturefar more durable.
• Unless you tap the wall you cannot tell ifthe wall is concrete or plasterboard.
• A more superior quality finish can beachieved.
• The walls are more true and achieve alevel 5 finish.
Why use Monocast
A Monocast House is Warmer
• A 50mm Polystyrene Insulation barrieris completely encased in the exteriorwall and is unbroken the entireperimeter of the exterior wall.
• A Monocast Exterior wall has acalculated R value considerably greaterthan the minimum required for thebuilding code of R1.62.
Warmer
Why use Monocast
Can achieve zero ratedthermally efficiency
Why use Monocast
A Monocast House is Quieter
The ability of a wall to block or transmit noiseis measured by its STC rating. The better the(wall) system in preventing the transmissionof noise the higher its STC rating.
• The Building Code now requires aminimum STC rating of 55 for wallsseparating different tenancies.
• A Monocast wall within a house achievesthis STC rating between rooms.
The STC rating is calculated by evaluating the sound transmissionreduction over a series of frequencies between 125 and 4000 hertz.This frequency band is appropriate for speech, however the real benefit ofconcrete occurs in its ability to effectively reduce the transmission of low
frequency noise such as the base frequencies of music.
Quieter
Why use Monocast
Thermal Mass / CosierThermal Stability
• Concrete has a High Mass and has theability to absorb heat and then re-radiate it back into the room at a latertime thus a Monocast house will be :
• Cooler in Summer….. and
• Warmer in Winter.
• This results in a more comfortableliving environment without largeswings in temperature.
Why use Monocast
Cost less to maintain
Whole of life costs reduced
• Concrete is very durable and cantake a lot of punishment.
• For tenanted properties the cost tomaintain is significantly reduced.
Why use Monocast
Great designers such Frank Lloyd Wright isknown for his work with classic concrete inboth interiors and exteriors, but a newgeneration of designers is now starting toexperiment with the material in differentforms.
The Monocast form now provides a costeffective way of achieving greater designand flexibility at a cost that is nowaffordable.
Why use Monocast
Greater Design Opportunities
Innovation in Design
Elaine Toogood is an architect with TheConcrete Centre, a UK body that advisesarchitects on the use of concrete.
“It is the perfect material as it needsnothing added to it. It can be thestructure, the final finish, it can bepolished or coloured. It is so durable, lowmaintenance and provides good soundand fire insulation,”
“It is definitely becoming morefashionable”
Why use Monocast
So why use the Monocast process.Because it is Fast – Efficient – Cost Effective –Sustainable – Superior Quality.

Monocast Building System is only availablein NZ through
Volume / Group Build
Compass Homes are volume buildersworking from a large range of standardplans. It rarely builds with client suppliedplans preferring to work within the VolumeBuilders framework of Standard Plans,Systemisation and Bulk Buying.
The Monocast process will now be availablethrough Compass Homes where the clientcan now have a choice of a traditional buildor a MonoCast Build.Compass Homes offer• Full Range of Standard Plans• Traditional Build process or Monocast• Affordable• Quicker Build Times

Architectural Build
Admire Homes is being set up New Zealandwide via a network of “Licensed’ buildingcompanies.
Admire Homes will only be able to build usingthe Monocast process but as a result willdevelop an expertise enabling concrete tobecome a more mainstream building product.
Innovation in design will become one of thehallmarks of an Admire Home especiallywhen the build cost will be comparable toconventional build costs.
• Full range of Architect drawn plansdeveloped around the style and flairof the 5 partner Architects
