The document discusses the construction of bird houses using Fast Track Wall (FTW) and Fast Track Slab (FTS) systems, which reduce costs and construction time compared to traditional methods. FTW eliminates the need for conventional components like columns and brick walls, while FTS uses a steel deck system that cuts floor construction time significantly. The overall estimated cost for constructing a 25' x 12' bird house is RM50,000, with a completion time of around 30 days.

2. About the System The construction of bird house using Fast Track Wall (FTW) and Fast Track Slab (FTS) can help to reduce the cost and duration which will then minimize the client’s investment. The method of construction using both systems are categorized as an Industrialized Building System. FTW is a formwork system used for the construction of load bearing wall. The system eliminate the need to construct column, roof beam, brick wall, lintol and plastering. FTS is a system to construct the floor slab of a building . It is a composite system which will avoid the use of timber formwork and hence can reduce the impact towards environment.

3. The Need Nowadays in Malaysia, the trend to build bird house is becoming more popular. This technology offers an alternative to the conventional method of constructing which is costly and time consuming. The fast and affordable bird house construction can assist the clients in reducing the development cost.

4. The Need (cont…) The development of fast and affordable bird house to the farmers helps to achieve part of the government strategy to increase the per capita income.

5. The Approach FTW Figure 1 below shows the component of FTW which mainly consist of steel framed structure and plastic panels. FTW is an innovative modular formwork system that allows building walls to be build more faster and economical as compared to conventional wall construction. FTW can be applied to single and double storey houses/buildings.

7. The Approach FTS Figure 2 below shows the component of FTS. FTS technology can reduce the time of floor construction by 50%. Profiled steel deck made of galvanized steel sheet, rolled into ribbed profiles of recommended depth will serve as a form for wet concrete, thus eliminating the need for false work. When the concrete harden, the deck and concrete will act together to form a composite floor system. No reinforcement bar is needed except minimum wire mesh for crack control, hence an economical and fast construction of slab system is achieved.

11. The Benefit FTW & FTS Reduction in cost between 10% - 20% Reduction in construction time between 50% - 70% Reduction in number of labor between 40% - 60% Better quality and strength since the wall in reinforced. Certainly it can take lateral force such as earthquake. Usage of timber (especially formwork) is reduced by 70% - 80% It is an industrialized Building System (IBS Category)

12. The Benefit FTW & FTS (cont…) Green Technology since it replace timber formwork No heavy machineries required Recyclables mould and can be used more than 30 times Portable, light and easy can be lifted by one person. Wastage is reduced by more than 50% Structural Strength with Less Weight The steel sheet are used with maximum efficiency in the design and fabrication of steel decks, resulting in products with a high strength-to weight ratio. As a result, delivery, erection, and structural framing costs can be reduced.
