The simultaneous construction of several houses with Styro Stone is very advantageous in comparison to traditional construction.
Advantages of building with styrostones:
- Speed of construction: The structure and the insulation are done at the same time.
- Less labour intensive: One storey can be erected by 3-4 people in one day and concrete poured the same evening.
- Heavy and costly tools unnecessary: Only a handsaw and masonary drill are needed.
- Reduced instruction time: For a good shuttering carpenter, one day is sufficient.
- Reduced risk of labour accidents: Light construction material reduces operative fatigue and so reduces the risks of accidents.
- Energy saving: Double-sided insulation saves 50-70% in energy costs. Use of RR stones (neopor) creates a passive energy home.
- Structural strength: Steel reinforcement is easily placed inside the styrostone shutter, making the concrete even earthquake resistent.

Construction is sequential when building several houses |
|
The ceiling is poured without the need for further support, allowing other work (such as plumbing) to commence the following day. |
|
Construction process resembles a conveyor belt. |
|
Carpentry immediately follows the completion of the concrete structure. |

Closing of the roof and rendering. |
