Abstract
Alternative wall construction methods are developed almost on a daily basis. With the South
African government unable to deliver quality Reconstruction and Development Program
houses (RDP houses) in the specified time frames and budgets, the different involved parties
are getting irritated and dissatisfied.
The objective of treatise is to identify alternative wall construction methods, instead of the traditional brick and mortar method, that can be used speed up the construction of RDP houses and to remain within the specified budget and to still deliver a product of high quality.
