History of Living Modular MexicoPyMM Housing started manufacturing modular homes in order to satisfy the world’s need for better aff ordable housing. Aff ordable 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 signifi cant advantages: density, structural capacity and light weight. Your fi nal 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 fi nished. The benefi t 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.

Concrete Mixing Plant with Patented Cellular Injection Technology
Floor/ Slab Form 5” thick wet mix concrete with two sheetswelded mesh 6 X 6 and 3/8 rebar to connect the sides.
Manufacturing Process
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.

Modules with 5” thick exterior walls and 3 1/2” thick interior walls.
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 off ers 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 infi nitely 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 off er 500% more thermal insulation and substantially higher fi re-rating than conventional concrete. If a wall of conventional concrete should off er 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.
Site Preparation requires a bank sand level base.
Compacting and screening of sand in form for levelness.
Site Preparation
Modules arriving on truck.
Modules being lifted off truck.
Unloading and Placing
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 diff erent designs.
View of concrete module roof waterproofed.
When houses are placed adjacent to each other,a courtyard is created in between.
