See following list of commonly asked questions and answers about
building sustainably with Ritek.
What value for money proposition does
the XL Wall system provide over other building systems over
the life of the building?
While Ritek isn’t the cheapest offering up front it is going to be the most cost effective option, by completion of build. Major cost and time savings can be achieved during erection stage, reduction in downstream trades, reduction in waste and waste management, materials handling and cranage. Put simply, Ritek will get you off your building site faster than other construction methods.
Is the XL Wall System faster to install
than conventional building methods?
In almost all cases it is faster to install than conventional building methods. The
XL Wall panels are made to measure and arrive on site ready
for erection. Building components such as gyprock and battens
are not required and trades such as plasterers and scaffolders
are eliminated and the services are installed within the wall
system. Site wastage is reduced by up to 50% compared to block.
Hence the time and co-ordination savings combined with all
issues above amount to significant potential overall savings.

Wall System for?
