More than 2 years ago , the Union Housing Ministry
threw this challenge to the Construction Industry, from all over the world, as
reported in :

Extract :
The Union housing ministry plans a "massive dissemination
and outreach" programme for the Global Housing Construction Technology Challenge, it set to
launch for building affordable and sustainable houses in the country, an
official said.
The initiative aims to give a
major push to construction of houses for the urban poor under the Centre's
flagship Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (Urban).
The Centre will
invite companies from
across the world to showcase their construction techniques
under the 'Global Housing Construction Technology Challenge', the official
said, adding the technologies selected would be used for building houses under
the PMAY(U) scheme.
The ministry targets to
construct 1.2 crore houses under the scheme in a bid to provide houses to all urban poor by 2022.
So far, nearly 40 lakh houses have been sanctioned under the scheme.
"We are going for
massive dissemination and outreach programme. We will inform all
countries, all associations
and business bodies
about the competition. We are in the process of finalising it. In the next
two to three months, we will come up with a full-fledged programme," the
official said.
He said the competitors
would be required to demonstrate construction of houses at a minimum cost in
minimum duration, keeping Indian requirements in mind.
==============================================================
After a lapse of 2 YEARS , there
is no further news re :
Ø Which construction Companies – Business Bodies – Associations, got selected
Ø What “ construction
techniques “ got selected
Ø Who gave “ demonstrations “ and where and at what cost /
sq. ft
In the absence of such information, I would like to draw
the attention of the Housing Ministry to the following news :
WATCH
A 3D PRINTER SPIT OUT AN ENTIRE TWO-STORY HOUSE / 17
July 2020
Extract :
Europe’s largest 3D printer just spat out an entire two-story tall home, an effort by
Belgian sustainable construction company Kamp C.
According to the company, it’s the biggest house printed in one piece, with a fixed
printer, in history.
The 32-by-32 foot printer works
in much the same way as its much smaller plastic-printing additive cousins
— except that it uses a specially mixed concrete to build layer by layer.
Such a process has key advantages over conventional
builds: It’s significantly faster, it’s far more
judicious with material usage,
and could even cut construction costs as
a result.
The material’s compressive strength is three times
greater than that of the
conventional quick build brick,” Marijke Aerts, the project manager, told New Atlas.
“Besides the
fibers in the concrete, the amount of wire-mesh reinforcement used is extremely
limited. As a result of the printing technology used, formwork was redundant, saving an estimated sixty percent on material, time, and budget.”
The 980
square feet two-story home is still more of a demo than a livable
structure, but it’s technically large enough and even features sustainable
amenities, like solar
panels and underfloor heating.
“Printing this building is mainly a statement,” Emiel
Ascione, project manager at Kamp C, told Digital Trends.
“It shows the construction industry the accessibility and potential of this
technique.”
