3. History of Living Modular Mexico
PyMM Housing started manufacturing modular homes in order to satisfy the world’s need for
better affordable housing. Affordable housing was not made to last and this caused more
problems.
PyMM developed a Progressive-Precast Modular system, a line production, like car manufac-
turing, using cellular concrete, which provides with significant advantages: density, structural
capacity and light weight. Your final product is a complete house, including electrical wiring,
plumbing, windows, doors, etc. You don’t have to build anything on site. They leave the plant
completely finished.
The benefit of technology like this is it enables the manufacturing process to be changed as
needed, and also it takes only 24 hours to build a house.
PyMM housing is a candidate for the Habitat Business Award for Sustainable Urbanisation.

4. Manufacturing Process
Concrete Mixing Plant with Patented Cellular Injection Technology
Floor/ Slab Form 5” thick wet mix concrete with two sheets
welded mesh 6 X 6 and 3/8 rebar to connect the sides.
5. Interior metal form on 5” slab with 6X6 welded mesh and
3/8 rebar for reinforcement. Rebar tied to slab, walls and roof
to create monolithic pour.
Interior Metal Form with window block outs.
7. Modules with 5” thick exterior walls and 3 1/2” thick interior walls.
Modules just removed from forms leaving a 5” slab and 5” walls.

10. What is Cellular Concrete?
Cellular Lightweight Concrete (CLC) is conventional concrete, where
natural aggregate (gravel) is exchanged for the best insulation
medium available, namely air, embedded in an organic and
biodegradable foam that offers no chemical reaction but solely serves
as wrapping material for the air. Consequently, CLC behaves like
conventional concrete, in particular concerning curing, hardening and
most important "ageing". CLC infinitely increases its strength by
hydration (forming of crystals in cement) as long as exposed to
humidity in the atmosphere.
For structural (steel-reinforced) application, CLC is used in densities of
1.200 to 1.400 kg/m3, which, due to the billion of micro sized and
uniform air bubbles offer 500% more thermal insulation and
substantially higher fire-rating than conventional concrete. If a wall
of conventional concrete should offer the same thermal insulation as
CLC, the wall produced would have to measure 5 times thicker and
therefore use 10 times more material (sand, gravel, cement) to
produce. In hot environment, the essential air-conditioning requires
500% more primary energy to cool down than when heating, a fact,
which is not even known to many experts. CLC also is an
environmentally friendly material.

12. Site Preparation
Site Preparation requires a bank sand level base.
Compacting and screening of sand in form for levelness.
14. First module being set on sand pad with 60 ton crane or larger.
Roof is slopped to one end to draw rain water.
Second module being set with 60 ton crane. Front facial available
with different designs.
15. View of concrete module roof waterproofed.
When houses are placed adjacent to each other,
a courtyard is created in between.
