AXEIA taps Cemex building solutions

MANILA, Philippines - AXEIA Development Corp., one of the fastest growing property developers in the Philippines, has tapped leading building materials company Cemex Philippines for the use of the latest and innovative construction technologies for its projects.

AXEIA expects to build high-quality houses faster with Cemex’s cast in place technology, a concreting process that utilizes pre-designed panels to mold the preferred shapes of walls and slabs.
One of the advantages of tapping into this technology is the simplicity and practicality of the assembly method.

Unlike the traditional system which makes use of column-beam frames and concrete hollow blocks, Cemex’s cast in place innovation uses aluminum formworks which are lightweight in nature.

This latest housing solution from Cemex involves the setting up of structural wall-slab elements –made of reinforced concrete– on site. Upon assembly, a concrete mix is poured into the formworks to produce the desired shape of the elements such as walls, bay windows, stairs, and other architectural features. Hence, this system results in the completion of a monolithic concrete structure that requires no plastering works.

“We did a lot of collaboration with Cemex using their concrete and technology. We’ve been very happy with the structures that we’ve been able to build,” said Paul Tanchi, president of AXEIA.

Tanchi says Cemex’s cast in place solution can be a great way to help housing construction in the country as the innovation makes construction quicker and produces good quality homes.

Another attribute of the cast in place system is its customization. Molds and panels can be designed and fabricated according to the client’s building requirements.

Cast in place is one of Cemex’s modern building solutions that guarantee fast and efficient construction of large-scale housing. With an innovative technology, better supervision process, and consistent formworks, this building solution reduces construction time, thus helping developers recover investment in less time with the quick delivery of homes. It also helps save on finishing, rework, and material storage.

AXEIA is a multi-awarded developer having a 26-year track record for delivering best valued quality homes. It has provided affordable housing to more than 18,000 families in strategic locations across Cavite, Laguna, Batangas, Pampanga, and Rizal.

CEMEX Philippines offers a broad product mix of building solutions to the Philippine market. Its subsidiaries, Apo Cement Corp. and Solid Cement Corp., produce and market cement and other building materials in the country.
