Magicrete completed India’s first mass housing project in Ranchi using the 3D modular precast construction system. This project represents a huge step forward in tackling India’s expanding housing demands with speed, sustainability, and quality.
This project, which contains 1008 residential units, has cost parity with traditional construction methods while cutting construction time by up to 40%. This not only makes homes more affordable, but it also demonstrates how precast concrete technology has the ability to revolutionise the Indian building industry.
According to Magicrete’s Managing Director, Sourabh Bansal, “Magicrete remains committed to driving innovation and sustainable development in the construction sector, paving the way for a brighter future for India’s built environment.”
The initiative promises dignified living for the urban poor, providing 1,008 families with economical and durable residences that require little care. These disaster-resilient, safe dwellings will offer a healthier and more environmentally friendly living environment. The initiative also provides simple access to public transportation, health, education, and livelihood services, empowering communities and promoting inclusive development.
The efficiency and quality of the dwelling units in the project were enhanced by Magicrete’s proficiency in utilizing volumetric technology. The project shows how precast concrete technology may be used to provide better housing solutions by reducing the number of components and joints, guaranteeing a watertight structure, and expediting the installation and production processes. The project was finished in 18 months, despite early difficulties with land acquisition.
In terms of ingredients, the project used Portland slag cement with a high percentage of ground-granulated blast furnace slag (GGBFS), which reduced the carbon footprint by about 60%. In addition, M-sand replaced traditional river sand in concrete production, helping to promote sustainability. The use of rooftop solar, rainwater harvesting, solar street lights, and a sewage treatment facility demonstrated the project’s commitment to environmental responsibility.
Magicrete has been at the vanguard of modern construction technology in India for the past decade, making important contributions to the ‘Housing for All’ effort with innovative yet economical construction solutions. This leading manufacturer of AAC products, construction chemicals, and precast construction solutions from India has changed its ways in the building sector. A youthful and innovative group of IIT Kharagpur, IIT Delhi, and IIM Lucknow alumni founded it in 2008.
Being a leader in environmentally friendly building materials, its mission is to use cutting-edge construction technology to assist individuals in creating better, cheaper, and faster houses. Throughout the past ten years, Magicrete has led the way in advancing contemporary building technology and, via its application in more than 500,000 houses, has positively impacted the lives of over a million people.
