How it works.
To construct walls, we utilise lightweight and color-coded formwork that can be reused up to 300 times. The formwork is filled with GreenCrete™ in widths of 100mm and 150mm, allowing for pouring heights of up to 3m within a single session.
After pouring, the GreenCrete™ is left to cure overnight. The following day, the specialized formwork is stripped, revealing a flawlessly straight and smooth off-shutter surface.
To complete the finishing touches, a projection plaster machine mechanically sprays a quick and cost-effective plaster coating onto the surface. If desired, colour pigment can be added to the plaster mixture.
After curing of the foundation, the GreenBuild SA 40m2 affordable house takes approximately seven days to build.

1. Motorized Foam Concrete Mixer
A versatile concrete mixer equipped with advanced features to streamline construction operations. This mixer boasts integrated weighing, mixing, and foam generating functions, all controlled by the onboard computer. It comes pre-programmed with various formulas for both foam concrete and regular concrete mixes.
The Motorized Mixer is designed for optimal performance even in challenging conditions.
With four-wheel steering, it offers exceptional manoeuvrability, reducing the risk of getting stuck in extreme wet, muddy, or sandy terrain.
Powered by a robust 92kw diesel engine, it not only drives the unit but also facilitates foam generation and high-pressure washing of all equipment. The machine’s well-balanced design features two interconnected 350-liter water tanks, complemented by a computer-linked water pump to supply water for all necessary functions.
In addition to pouring wall formwork, it can also be used for pouring concrete foundations, eliminating the need for ready-mix concrete trucks. With its 5.3m³ drum capacity, it can deliver approximately 14m³ of standard concrete or 20m³ of foamed concrete per hour.

2. Concrete pump
The diesel-engine Fine Aggregate Concrete Pump is a powerful piece of equipment capable of delivering the same 20m³ of concrete mixture as the large Motorized Mixer. This pump offers impressive pumping capabilities, with the ability to pump concrete horizontally up to 400m and vertically up to 175m. It comes equipped with a series of delivery pipes that measure up to a 100m and are 76mm in diameter, complete with bends and a flexible rubber pouring hose. The pump is designed to handle stone sizes up to 30mm.
This versatile pump can be utilized for various applications, including pumping foam concrete for casting walls and standard concrete for casting foundations. Additionally, it can serve as a shotcrete projection machine when the need arises.
| DETAILS: | |
| Max. Horizontal Distance: | 400m |
| Max. Vertical Distance: | 175m |
| Output (m3/hr): | 20 |
| Max. Stone Size: | 30mm |

3. Formwork
The GreenBuild color-coded formwork system is crafted from durable and lightweight steel, offering excellent longevity and cost-effectiveness.
With a lifespan of up to 300 uses, it is one of the most economical formwork options available. Even if the formwork sustains damage, it can be easily repaired for continued use, or recycled in an environmentally friendly manner.
The GreenCrete® can be efficiently poured up to a height of 3m in a single pouring session. The selection of formwork is based on the architect’s design and drawings, allowing for repetitive use in subsequent projects. For instance, erecting the formwork for a 54m2 two-bedroom house typically requires a team of six people and can be completed within six hours. The lightweight concrete pumping process takes approximately one hour.
Consequently, multiple houses can be pumped in a day, assuming an adequate number of formwork panels and a skilled workforce. The versatility of the formwork system allows for customization to suit any home size and design.
Formwork panels are precision-manufactured using high-accuracy machines and can be easily assembled or dismantled using a simple and fast connecting clip that is applied by hand. Each set of shuttering includes two connecting spacer ties that run past the sides of the shutter, eliminating the need for precise alignment. This significantly simplifies the formwork erection process, ensuring efficiency and ease of use.
| DETAILS: | |
| Sizes: | (w) 600,400,350,300,250 |
| Clips: | G1, G2, G3 |
| Curing Time: | 12 Hours |
| Includes: | Wall Formwork, Bulkheads, Clips |
