ESD CONCEPT
HPM ethics and values emphasize in the relationship between businesses and societies. Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is a primary value for HPM success in a manner that meets high social and environmental standards as well as communities’ development. It is defined by The World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD) as the commitment of businesses ‘‘to contribute to sustainable economic development, working with employees, their families and the local communities and society at large to improve their quality of life’’.
Towards this direction, HPM with respect to the environment and having a great sense of social responsibility, develops and engineers the management in “Eco Social Developments“(ESD).
Eco Social Development concept is designed to offer to new housing communities, primarily in developing regions, an excellent combination of modern and eco-friendly technology, short-time performance and low cost budget.
ESD is destined to provide private and public facilities, not only to meet the needs of residents but also to improve considerably their daily livelihood.
According to this concept, the new community will be constructed by recyclable and environmentally friendly materials, having as priority the usage of local resources, and decorated by adequate design aesthetics that blend perfectly into the local terrain.
For the realization of the ESD, HPM will hire local labor and impart the know-how through a special training process to unskilled labor, enforcing the employment rate by creating new job positions.
URBAN AND ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN
Both urban and architectural plans are designed carefully in order to meet all local requirements and cover the needs of its residents, taking under consideration geographical, economical, historical and social factors.
The result can be beneficial for the local community since it will provide houses to the local families in a very short period of time, with low cost but at the same time with all the amenities. The houses will be of high quality and meet all safety, fire, acoustic, insulation standards. Nevertheless, HPM will create a whole village that contributes to the community’s development. It is our core principal to construct other social buildings, such as schools, hospitals and dispensaries, army and police barracks, agricultural sheds, administration buildings that contribute to a modern but operational and well organized community.
As for the urban planning, our main concerns are to create vibrant green areas so to enhance the quality of life, locate the communal buildings in strategic positions and create a comfortable and spacious road network, so to enable the access to the community and the internal transportation of its residents.
As far as the architectural design is concerned, our light steel frame buildings offer an extremely cost effective, fast and flexible building system with attractive designs to blend into local environments.
ESD homes incorporate the very latest technology at every level from a precision engineered light steel structural frame to cutting edge energy saving techniques and premium quality fixtures and fittings.
The result is an elegant, energy efficient, intelligent home that requires minimum maintenance.
CONSTRUCTION PROCESS
HPM will establish a dedicated factory in the vicinity of the Project Area. The factory will be constructed in a strategic position that will facilitate the manufacturing process and will reduce manufacturing time and cost to reach an optimal performance.
The mobile construction of the plant constitutes our main advantage. This means that the whole factory can be easily located and relocated without any impact on the environment.
According to the abovementioned construction technology, we will use a cold-formed steel building system that allows us to erect multi-storey buildings. More analytically, this is a load bearing wall system that combines three highly acceptable building methods, built-up steel joist cassette, hollow-core concrete slabs or composite steel/concrete deck resting on light steel framing stud walls.
All framing components are produced from architectural designs with 100% accuracy and can be easily assembled by trained labor force. This methodology permits fast, consistent and high quality products. Finally, this gives us the desired outcome of a green construction in harmony with the environment.
