The SLIA Annual Awards 2024 Presentation, held at BMICH on 22nd February 2024, was the platform where Rhino Roofing Products Limited was presented with this esteemed award. The event brought together professionals and influencers from various sectors of the construction industry, including architects, engineers, quantity surveyors, building contractors, property developers, and more. The RBS cement wall panel, recognized in the category of “Locally made products and materials that are innovative, sustainable, and cost-effective,” addresses several challenges prevalent in traditional wall construction. It serves as a solution to the labor shortage, rectifying inaccuracies in walls, and significantly reducing construction time. Additionally, it eliminates the need for supportive grids and filling materials like glass wool, offering a more efficient alternative for internal wall partitioning.
In terms of customer experience and value addition, the RBS cement panel presents a host of benefits compared to traditional wall construction. It is cost-effective, promotes higher energy efficiency, allows for quicker construction, ensures easy installation with no plaster required, provides effective heat and sound insulation, all while being lightweight. The impact of this project extends to both primary and secondary target audiences. Architects, engineers, quantity surveyors, and industry opinion leaders stand to benefit from the innovation, while house builders, renovators, and the public can experience enhanced construction processes and cost-effectiveness.
Rhino Roofing Products Limited has been gaining momentum as a partner to successful projects, including residential apartments and houses and commercial properties. This story emphasizes the broader aspect that time and cost-consuming traditional wall construction methods can be replaced by the revolutionary RBS cement panel, aligning with the company’s mission to bring positive change to the construction industry.
