To make cost efficient and strong construction, you can opt for filler slab which ensure high-quality construction and reduces the cost of construction too. Experts say that you can save up to 25 % of the construction cost using cost effective construction techniques.
Actually cost-effective, innovative and environment friendly housing depends on appropriate use of materials available locally, latest technology and construction skills. The air gap formed by contours of tiles makes an excellent thermal insulation layer. The design integrity of a filler slab needs careful planning keeping in mind negative zones and reinforcement areas. Filler slabs provide aesthetically designed ceilings and enhance thermal comfort inside the building due to heat-resistant qualities and the gap between two burnt clay tiles. They can save up to 23% in comparison to traditional slab and can reduce the use of cement and steel up to 40%.

Making cost effective construction
Due to increasing cost of construction/building, cost effective construction techniques are required. Such techniques provide strong, environment friendly, ecological, energy efficient construction. Initially you can construct using R - trap bond which is economical, strong and aesthetic. This bond saves 25% of total number of bricks and 40% of mortar. Funicular shells over edge beams provide an attractive alternative to RCC construction for small to medium spans and are cost effective since required quantity of steel and cement is much less and saves on costly shuttering.
Fly ash gypsum stabilized mud blocks with less water absorption capacity are much stronger and cheaper than cement stabilized blocks. Using 5 to 10% fly ash G in construction, 30% saving in cement can be achieved in addition to utilization of waste product like fly ash. Pre cast concrete blocks having similar dimension of stone blocks without large size stone pieces have excellent properties in comparison to additional masonry blocks which are cheaper and facilitate speedy construction.
