CTSR Group has unveiled plan to establish a factory in Abuja where various components of a real building would be constructed.

The factory is billed to be commissioned before the end of January 2017.

Funke Otti, president of CTSR Group  said by  the time the production of the various housing components  begins, it would  fast-track building construction.

She explained that the factory was to support the federal government’s desire to bridge the housing deficit in the country which was well over 17 million units.

According to her, the process, which is a German technology, is an automated precast concrete technology, that is renowned globally for speedy housing construction.

“All the components of a house will be designed and constructed in the factory, after which they will be moved to the constrution site where it will be assembled.

“It will take a minimum of seven days to finish the construction of a house. Once this is done, our hit-tech engineers will start to put together the interiors,” she said.

This includes doors, windows, painting, tiling, flooring, plumbing and electrical installations, heating, ventilation with heat recovery systems, sanitaryware and more,”she said.

Mrs Otti explained that when the company’s architects were designing houses, they reflect on current trends and styles.

She said, however that a client has the option to convert or upgrade their house design according to their personal preferences.

“This includes interior and exterior decoration, fixtures and fittings, and add‐ons such as balconies, canopies and car ports,” she stated.
