Advantages• First and foremost, a system where every school is built to exactly the same

quality. You know what you are getting in advance.• Speed, 4 classroom unit handed over in 10 days (excluding foundation)• BLAST can build a temporary school. This school can later be disassembled and

reassembled elsewhere as the need may be.• Or the temporary school can be converted to a permanent school.• Or BLAST can just immediately erect permanent schools.• Durability. Solid concrete is the most durable structure in the world. The

classroom will never crack, it will only get stronger.• Strength of concrete, but much stronger an faster than bricks and mortar.• Can be used anywhere, in any conditions. Can build in rural or urban areas.• More labour intensive than bricks, we can easily train the community to work

with us.• A system accurate to within 2mm.• Can deliver schools approximately 70% faster than brick and mortar.• Insulated structure is more comfortable and saves energy. Insulated walls,

insulated ceiling. Green Structure. Alternatives like solar geyser, led lights, solar panels, etc.

• Same price as bricks and mortar• Has Agreement certification, which is highest possible certification in South

Africa
