Concepts
By definition, house is a building for human habitation.
The necessity to provide affordable access to the community to which people belong, combined with surrounding urban context, generates the interest to evaluate and implement different alternative and concepts.
Kora has been implementing and developing several housing building concepts.
Apartment Buildings
Shops
Houses
Incremental Housing
Technical Construction solutions
Despite its large experience, Kora is always attentive to evaluate and validate innovative technologies available in the market.
Kora seeks to identify and adopt technologies in infrastructures that best suit each project, considering:
- Lower Cost
- Speed
- Simplicity
- Industrialization
- Efficiency
- Durability
- Sustainability
- Local workers
- Requested equipment
BCA
Kora has the necessary expertise and experience in the construction of residential buildings with prefabricated panels in BCA (Autoclaved Cellular Concrete). It is a high-speed construction technology, combined with industrialized processes, suitable for mass construction projects.
Conventional
Kora has used several times construction using conventional technologies, reinforced concrete structure in situ and masonry walls in situations that prove to be adequate.
LSF
Kora has already experimented housing construction with LSF (Light Steel Framing). It is a constructive system, in which steel is the main material of the building's structure. The parts are manufactured from molding galvanized steel sheet with low thickness, resulting in low weight.
BTC
BTC (Compacted Earth Blocks) - blocks obtained by mixing earth, water and cement, in which, after compression and drying, can be used in construction. Kora, in Angola, has already used this material. It is economically and environmentally sustainable solution, especially in developing countries, where it is usual to bake bricks, reducing deforestation.
