  News Article 2008 – The Envicrete Story  
     
 

Building materials play a vital role in the construction industry, and the type of material chosen determines the long term quality, strength, and durability of building structures. When it comes to the concrete industry, quality is of primary importance. Therefore, it is important that special attention is given when choosing the right concrete products for your project.

 

The reason why the selection of concrete products deserves extra special attention is because they constitute the foundation of any building structure. Other materials are replaceable, but not the shell and structure which underpins the foundation of the building. One can replace the paint finish, electrical fittings, doors, windows, flooring and sanitary fittings, but the original shell and structure continues to sustain the building. If the shell collapses, then the building itself will collapse. So it is not merely an aesthetic issue, but a fundamental one determining the very safety of a building’s inhabitants and contents.

 

Manufacturing of concrete products in Pakistan used to be a pretty primitive process till Envicrete came on the horizon with its fully automated production facility in Karachi using the most advanced concrete technology in the world. Currently, in addition to the Karachi plant, Envicrete has recently started production at another state of the art facility located in northern Pakistan , thus giving the company national market penetration.

 

Concrete products made in the traditional “thallas” lack the strength, dimensional accuracy, and fine texture of an Envicrete product. Use of these cheap and sub-standard concrete blocks ultimately becomes expensive because of the cost of thick plastering that is required to hide their imperfections. Buildings using these cheap blocks develop cracks despite the heavy usage of cement-rich mortar and need constant repairs.

 

Envicrete’s unique manufacturing technology, stringent quality control, patented recipes, and innovative designs set the standard in the industry by which all others are measured.  At Envicrete, we are constantly striving to keep our product line on the cutting edge of technology. We achieve this by tapping experts within the international concrete industry and keeping our designs and production techniques abreast of emerging and new trends in the industry’s R & D sector.

 

That is why Envicrete products are market leaders and represent aesthetic superiority, durability, and dimensional accuracy. They come in a wide variety of designs, colors, textures and finishes to choose from. And they offer our customers like builders, architects, planners, and homeowners, the flexibility and cost effectiveness needed to successfully design and build a project, large or small. These products include a wide variety of blocks, pavers, kerbstones, keystones and cladding items. Envicrete products are equally suitable for commercial, industrial, municipal, public, and residential construction. In addition to all the exterior applications, Envicrete products are also being increasingly used in interior settings on walls, flooring and landscaping.

 

Envicrete has worked very hard to achieve and maintain its position as the market leader. It is the first choice of architects, builders and owners. Some of the most prestigious projects and architectural gems in the country built to demanding specifications have used our products. Among such prestigious projects is the Quaid’s  Mazar, Bagh Ibne Qasim, Karachi Port, PAF Museum, and many others.

 

Some people think that Envicrete is designed only for use in new construction projects. However, our products are ideally suitable for renovating existing old structures and spaces, transforming them into stylish and successful renovation projects. Our products have enhanced the older and traditional look of  many buildings by blending in with the period architecture. At the same time, our products have been used in many projects that have the modernistic or contemporary new look.

 

In the 20 years of its existence, Envicrete has strived to remain in the forefront of the concrete products industry by maintaining consistently high quality standards. It has done this by constantly improving and upgrading its manufacturing processes, getting valuable feedback from its customers and then adapting and changing its product line to fit their customers’ needs. Envicrete has accomplished this by staying competitive in the market and taking good care of its customers. That is why Envicrete sets the standard in the industry, and has earned the distinction of becoming the preferred choice of all-architects, city planners, business executives, and homeowners.

 

In addition, Envicrete customers can realize substantial benefits due to savings in construction and maintenance costs, both at the project’s inception as well as through the years. Installation is easier and faster than traditional alternatives due to the dimensional accuracy of its products. Savings from plastering and painting required for ordinary blocks makes Envicrete products actually cheaper than ordinary blocks, and yet they are much stronger and more durable. They require minimal maintenance and have an attractive appearance. They are the best long term solution for the construction industry.

 

At Envicrete, our customers have the benefit of ordering large quantities of concrete materials for quick delivery and installation by their contractors to finish their long-delayed projects. Envicrete also offers its customers assistance in designing their projects. Our experienced and well-trained teamof professionals are always busy in assisting and advising customers on design, product selection, technical assistance and project coordination.

 

As a result of Envicrete’s pioneering success over the years, many imitators have sprung up in the market. Many an unsuspecting victim has fallen prey to shoddy quality and sub-standard products available at a cheaper price. In order to prevent this, Envicrete is constantly educating its customers about the advantages of using quality concrete products manufactured with state of the art technology and workmanship.
