1.0 Introduction
Precast Concrete Panel Building describes the integration of precast concrete panel wall cladding and flooring onto
treated and prefabricated timber and steel frames and girders. Services ducts are housed along the pillars and wedges of
the internal frames, the external wall panels are finished with pre and post form decorations and choices may be made
between the presented system and flexible material for internal wall lining with regards to the desirable functions and
purpose of the building structure.
Precast Concrete Panel Building system, is an emerging thought for a new and yet existing stance in meeting the
immediate and long term need for housing, temporary site office accommodation; in-house office; office partitioning;
cabins for tourism sites accommodation; trade fair stands and shelter for refugee and victims of natural disaster etc. The
structure and form, present an improvement to the conventional Portakabin, incorporating precast concrete panels
outer/internal skin and/or PVC strips internal skin with intermediary timber/steel skeletal frame. Plans are in advance
stage to majorly commence mass housing development and submit proposal to all organisations and establishments
perceived to have need for other associated product by reaching them through all avenues using an aggressive marketing
strategies at all levels throughout the FCT and beyond.
1.1 Mission and Vision
Innovation and provision of aesthetically attractive, high quality building unit systems to provide affordable
accommodation to the global society utilising locally sourced raw materials and ever available wealth of human
resources.

1.2 BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Structural buildings are fabricated out of a variety of different materials,
and the materials used for the construction of any particular building
always depend upon material availability. Hollow, solid sandcrete
blocks and burnt bricks are very popular in building construction
particularly in Nigeria and the Sub Saharan Africa in general, the units
are permanently bedded and jointed with cement mortar and in the case
of sandcrete blocks further plaster finishes may be required to achieve a smooth face for decoration. In which
case long completion period and excessive man hours are required to put up a finished building.
In North America residential units, for example, wood is popular whereas brick and masonry are used in
Europe. Likewise, steel is a common material used in North America and parts of Northern Europe for high-rise
or industrial buildings whereas the same structures are fabricated using cast in-situ and precast concrete in
South America and some European countries.
In Nigeria, because of lack of adequate professional
supervision during building construction, learned
individuals and corporate bodies are making efforts to
identify other types and methods of achieving lasting
structural stability in building construction. Acceptable
alternative materials must be able to compete favourably,
both from a cost standpoint as well as a structural integrity
standpoint, within the building industry. Controlled
method of producing building unit in a factory assembly setting is sort for.
In some proposed systems abroad, it has been found that the connection and continuity at right angle cornered
junctions is not only difficult and expensive, but often structurally inadequate under different types of loading
conditions, particularly seismic loading. This has been a particular concern in the case of concrete sandwiched
panels that have been used to create a unit module designed to provide both the necessary structural strength
and insulation properties. Similarly, a number of tilt-up building systems have been found to perform quite
poorly under seismic and similar conditions where the connectors have failed.
Thus, the concerns associated with finding alternatives to known proposals for building systems involve the
integration of safety, energy efficiency, and environmental impact considerations. In addition, with the global
economic meltdown, rising cost of land and building materials,
the cost associated with finding an effective and adequate
solution is of significant concern.
It has been found that by using assembly line operations, quality
and cost economics can be significantly optimized. In addition,
the use of assembly line operations allows adequate training in
the use of semi-skilled labour. Thus, in considering alternative
building materials and components, it would be desirable to utilize to the extent possible assembly line
operations.

A further concern associated with finding an adequate alternative to known building materials and components
involves transportation costs and limitations. The ability to transport can oftentimes be a determining factor in
the size and weight of prefabricated modules and/or panels used in the construction of building structures.
Similarly, the location of the factory relative to the building site and the intervening transportation logistics can
also serve as a restriction and more so in the developing countries like Nigeria where adequate infrastructure
still hold a great challenge. Some potentially promising modular concepts have been limited in application
because of the foregoing limitations where large dimensions and excessive weight of the factory modules
control the extent and scope of implementation, it is not surprising that such modular concept have not gain
popularity in Nigeria and the sub-Saharan Africa.
In light of the foregoing, a need exists for an alternative to current
building units that is structurally adequate, environmentally
acceptable, energy efficient, and cost effective.
It would also be desirable to provide an alternative to current building
units that can be manufactured to meet quality requirements.
A need also exists for an alternative to current building units that is not as susceptible to size and weight
restrictions from the standpoint of transportation so that the building units can be manufactured at a factory and
subsequently transported to the construction site.
In light of the foregoing, the present invention provides precast concrete panels and installation methods that
seeks to address the rising demands in the sector and provide a variety of advantages over other known building
units and methods.

3.0 Market Description
3.10 Target Markets and Market
Description
While the primary focus would be the development of
urban and rural shelter as our core contribution to the
Millennium Development Goal, the system also plan to
commence operation in three market segments as described
below.
3.11 Commercial and Social Services
Precast Concrete Panel Building system is developed to also build a range of modular office space from small business
and administrative buildings to multi-storey offices designed to house thousands of people. Prospective Client may
choose from our numerous pre-designed plans or we can custom design a modular office layout to meet any specific
needs. It will specifically meet the needs of Five-star Hotels, Office Complex, Trade Fair Complex and Exhibitions with
products such as:
 Computer Rooms and other Equipment Enclosures,
 Corporate/Retail stands at Trade Fairs and Exhibition Complex,
 Finished Office Space,
 Retail Buildings & Restaurants,
 Utility or Substation,
 Control Houses and remote locations for military operations and the likes,
 In plant offices, Partitions, Break rooms, Clean rooms, Sound Enclosures, Curtain Walls etc.
3.12 Projects & Construction Site Accommodation
There exists a continual growing need for site accommodations at the onset of most capital projects, which at the moment
are checked by the erection of batchers, or structures that cannot be reused but are rather demolished or abandoned on
completion of the projects. We are often confronted every now and then with the accidental hazards posed on our
highways by the transportation of temporary office and accommodation (popularly known as Portacabin) by our
Construction and Oil Companies. And one will be amazed if you take time out to go through the budgetary allocation for
temporary structure at the onset of projects. Having considered this as a waste of project precious time and resources the
system also present the following products, whose units can be re-located for reassemble in other project sites.
 Site Office
 Store
 Toilets
 Security posts,
 Site accommodation for operatives.

3.13 Squatter Accommodation and Mass Housing
In most of Nigerian Urban centres, land is out of the reach of most average citizens who resort to raising structures in a
squatter settlement. The operatives and site staff of a construction company who had a contract to execute in the
hinterland would need to be housed within the site arena and oil rigs to improve efficiency among other reasons; in time
of natural disasters, the immediate need to shelter displaced people and even victims of outbreaks of wars cannot be over
emphasised. The characteristics of the product so developed made it the best option for this category of clients.
 Terraced one-room apartments,
 Terraced self-contained apartments,
 One – three bedroom bungalows and duplexes,
