Why Androulakis ICF

The company Androulakis, consistently at the forefront of conventional construction in Greece and across Europe, applies technologies mandated by green building.

The main structural material used in our conventional constructions is the innovative thermal insulating reinforced concrete formwork SMART FORM, which, in combination with PVC spacers, has created the leading nationwide Thermal Insulating Formwork System (ICF) ECO SMART FORM SYSTEM.

ANDROULAKIS ICF concrete houses, with the pioneering construction system of thermal insulating reinforced concrete formworks ICF Smart Form, bring a revolution to the field of conventional construction.

With the use of ICF Smart Form, the construction of conventional housing is upgraded and modernized.

The only insulating formwork that outperforms all similar products on the market.

  • Higher density (38 kg/m³), providing greater mechanical strength during casting and vibration.
  • Greater length (1.20 m), offering better alignment of the walls and increasing construction speed.
  • Male & female interlocking system, for optimal fitting of the formworks with each other.
  • On its internal side, it features large grooves that increase concrete adhesion and eliminate the risk of insulation detachment from the concrete.
  • Οn the external side, it features smaller grooves for better adhesion of thermal plaster coatings.

The (ICF) ECO SMART FORM SYSTEM allows us to formwork simultaneously on both sides, accommodating between the thermal insulation elements all the reinforcement of columns, beams, slabs, and walls, achieving a construction speed of 8–10 days per floor for a 100 sq.m. house.

The ECO SMART FORM SYSTEM is a permanent system; it is not stripped like conventional wooden formwork. Construction of each subsequent floor begins immediately, and the structure is already ready to receive the external acrylic thermal plaster.

The load-bearing structure and the masonry form a single, solid, double-insulated, conventional construction, since the building is entirely cast in C25/30 concrete, with concreting performed per floor in a single pour for columns, walls, and slab.

            

Androulakis Prefabricated Houses is the only company in the sector that undertakes the construction of the foundation base, basement, surrounding area, and all types of concreting works, with the
ANDROULAKIS GUARANTEE.

What this means for you:

  • You are not burdened with contractor commissions.

  • Full responsibility for the project lies exclusively with the company and our supervising engineers.

The structural adequacy guarantee that we deliver to you covers the entire project and not only part of it.

 
 

The primary purpose of reinforcing steel is the strength and stability of the structure, especially in cases of intense seismic activity. The B500c reinforcing steels used by our company are of Greek origin, of excellent quality, and manufactured according to modern specifications. They are distinguished by outstanding properties of strength, ductility, flexibility, and weldability, in accordance with strict anti-seismic regulations.

Reinforcing steel (columns – jackets, meshes) strengthens the load-bearing structure (frame) of the building and prevents the concrete from breaking or cracking at critical points such as columns, beams, slabs, etc.

Due to the high seismicity of our country, the structural study of the building is strictly adhered to, and in combination with the use of the ANDROULAKIS insulating formwork, which allows for a fully reinforced concrete building, the residence is rendered fully earthquake-resistant, capable of withstanding successive seismic vibrations with various accelerations (g: 0.5 to 0.9) and different directions.

ICF concrete houses, with complete freedom of architectural design, provide solutions that are adapted based on the building regulations of your plot, the fulfillment of your needs, and always in accordance with modern architectural trends.

With the necessary provisions in the structural study of the load-bearing structure, all constructions allow extensions both horizontally and vertically.

Concrete houses of high aesthetics and quality, fully earthquake-resistant, at the lowest possible cost, due to the vertically integrated production unit and the speed of the ICF system compared to conventional brick construction.

With ICF technology, thanks to the speed of the system and our expertise, we have managed to reduce construction completion time to one third compared to an outdated, vulnerable brick structure.

Therefore, although there is a higher cost up to the first stage of the structural frame, due to speed and vertical integration we reduce labor costs by 50% compared to brick construction. With the “custom mold” method, we form and concrete the building floor by floor, while simultaneously executing columns, slab, infill walls, and the external thermal insulation system.

Once the final architectural design of the house has been completed, the exact construction budget is determined.

Thanks to the company’s organization and reliability, a schedule is established for the delivery of the project.

Androulakis concrete houses, leveraging flawless organization, provides immediate solutions and proposals through specialized engineers, skilled crews, and craftsmen.

This approach ensures maximum utilization of the time required for each individual project, resulting in exemplary adherence to the project’s delivery schedule.

Upon undertaking the construction of a building project, Androulakis Prefabricated Houses, together with its scientific collaborators (architects, civil engineers, mechanical engineers, designers), provides the following services:

  • Urban Planning Survey & Clarification of New Building Regulations (NOK):
    This process allows precise determination of the maximum buildable area on the plot, the positioning of the building, its height, and any additional urban planning requirements.

  • Architectural Study & Alternative Proposals:
    In coordination with the client, the process analyzes space and facility needs, architectural aesthetics, interior and exterior areas, and possible underground spaces. All findings are translated into alternative architectural proposals, in compliance with building regulations.

  • 3D Photorealistic Visualization of the House:
    This process provides a three-dimensional representation of the residence, allowing the client to fully understand the volume and façades of the house.

We undertake all necessary studies and procedures for the issuance of Building Permits with responsibility and consistency, whether it concerns a new building, an addition to an existing structure, etc.

With the appropriate expertise, technological tools, experience, and a reliable, integrated, and extensive design department, we cover a wide range of studies.
