Architectural concept

In brief

Choose a process that fits the site, not a universal winner.

Cast on site

Discuss trained installers, mix control, equipment, weather exposure and a drying programme. Site casting allows project-specific work but requires quality control throughout.

Manufactured blocks

Ask about the exact block, laying method, support, lintels and junctions. Factory manufacture does not eliminate site moisture or structural design.

Panelised approaches

Off-site assemblies can change the sequence and logistics. Confirm what is actually available, lifting and access requirements, interfaces and the supplier’s destination-market evidence.
