Advantages

• Design freedom – flexible layout accommodating non – rectilinear plan forms
• Longer spans between supports - no beams required.
• Lower structural dead weight - enabling reduced foundation sizes.
• Elimination of downstand beams – incorporated in slab depth where required.
• Elimination of cross bracing and intermediate supports.
• Significantly reduced concrete usage.
• Quicker overall erection time – fewer building elements compared to steel frame and metal decking or concrete planks.
• Blockwork taken off critical path - becomes non load-bearing.
• Environmentally friendly – reduction in required construction materials.
• Sustainable - capacity to accommodate future layouts / frame re-use.
• Soffites can be left exposed – to facilitate low / passive energy design methods.

It uses fewer building elements compared to steel frame and metal decking systems and so reduces erection time

Since the blockwork is non load-bearing it is taken off the critical path Soffits can be left exposed, facilitating low/passive energy design methods

Conduits and cooled slab systems can be incorporated into the slabs in the factory
