A cost effective, holistic design and build technology that far outweighs poorly designed costly concrete-block and masonry structures… In order to be a contender when it comes to delivering 50 or 1,000,000 units, it should be viewed as a “Production Line”, similar to that of the automotive industry. By applying a disciplined approach, logistics, management and a reliable technology such as moladi, a project can be completed on time, in budget without forfeiting quality. We are geared to help and coach TEAMmoladi partners and customers, to become more productive, profitable and gain a competitive advantage.

Saiban is a market based solution that provides home ownership for urban squatters; the program builds housing developments on land it has secured and inspected, then sells the houses to the poor with reduced rates and an affordable down payment: total cost is 30% less than informal housing over 10 years. <br class="clear" /></div> </td> </tr> </table> </div><p><a href="http://www.nextbillion.net/activitycapsule/2017">read more</a></p> http://www.nextbillion.net/activitycapsule/2017#comment Education Activity Financial Services Activity General Banking Activity Active Consumer Non-profit Activity Pakistan Philanthropy Funded Private Investment Funded South Asia Fri, 16 Dec 2005 13:11:17 -0500 _Alex Bloom 2017 at http://www.nextbillion.net
