Foreword
Housing standards and construction methods are by no means static. In fact, they are constantly
evolving to reflect diverse and changing economic conditions, social values, traditions, and
technological advances.
The Cast-in-Situ Monolithic Reinforced Concrete Construction System is Kayson's integrated
solution to the problem of large-scale residential housing development. It is widely recognized
as one of the most practical, economically and technically feasible solutions to the problem of
building cost-effective, descent, durable and earthquake-proof housing on a mass scale, quickly
and efficiently. Indeed, Kayson's unremitting efforts over the past thirty years to adapt the system
to varied topographical and climatic conditions has resulted in the development of a unique
method for building large scale housing faster, better and at a lower cost, in virtually any corner of
the globe.

Prior to describing in detail Kaysons mass housing system, it is appropriate to outline some

order to avoid noise nuisance to residents, prior to pouring the final concrete layer of upper
floors, a 5-centimeter layer of propylene is applied to the concrete floor of each apartment.
Then
the ground floor ceiling is prepared for the installation of the walls of the first floor. This
cycle is repeated in the same manner for other floors.

Kayson's
system is extremely user-friendly. That is, the nature of the system is to create a
rhythm for the worker. By taking advantage of the 48-hour cycle, the same steps in construction
are repeated over and over again. If the site staff is inexperienced with the system, on-jobtraining quickly brings them up to speed. The result is a workforce that can work effectively
together as a highly productive team.
In
the 10,000-unit housing project in the Bolivarian republic of Venezuela, Kayson engineers
trained nearly 4000 unskilled workers in a matter of merely three months.
Concrete
is often left exposed on interior walls due to its aesthetic appeal, durability and
inherent fire resistance. Exposed concrete reduces the need for and cost of applying additional
fire-proofing to satisfy building codes.
