Transforming Housing Construction in Saudi Arabia with PERI Monolithic Formwork

Key Features and Advantages

1. Lightweight and Crane-Free Handling

• With a typical weight of 19–21 kg/m², the panels are light enough to be handled manually, eliminating the need for cranes.
• This makes the system ideal for projects in areas with limited access or those that aim to reduce machinery dependency.

 

2. Fully Extruded, Durable Panels

• Panels are made from 6061-grade high-strength aluminium, with vertical ribs for added robustness.
• They’re also fully extruded, meaning no welded joints—reducing risk of failure and improving finish quality.

 

3. Flat Snap Tie System

• The system uses flat snap ties that break cleanly 6 mm from the concrete surface, removing the need for grouting or curing and delivering a clean final finish.
• This also reduces on-site labor and post-concreting activities.

 

4. Superior Concrete Finish

• The powder-coated surface resists scratches and concrete adhesion.
• Tightly sealed joints between panels prevent concrete leakage, ensuring smooth, high-quality finishes with minimal need for plastering.

 

5. Reduced Labor and Training Requirements

• Designed to be easy to assemble, even for inexperienced workers, the system can be quickly learned after minimal orientation.
• A smart color coding system with intuitive stickers helps identify parts quickly and avoids errors during assembly.

 

6. Faster Project Completion

• With minimal components and simple connections, site operations are significantly accelerated.
• The system allows high repetition rates and supports standard panel usage across multiple projects.

Sustainable and Cost-Efficient Construction

PERI Monolithic supports modern sustainability goals:

 

• Recyclable aluminium panels reduce environmental impact and provide long-term value with resale potential.
• The system’s reusability minimizes construction site waste and reduces CO₂ emissions from unnecessary material consumption.
• Digital mock-ups and factory-based design ensure optimized plans and error-free execution, reducing rework and material loss.

 

Designed for Mass Housing Projects

This system is perfectly suited for:

• Affordable housing programs
• Residential compounds
• Government-backed social housing initiatives
• Large-scale, repetitive floor plan projects

 

PERI Monolithic is perfectly suited for supporting the housing program under Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030, where speed, efficiency, and repeatable quality are essential. With fewer ties required (only 6 levels to resist 60 kN/m² pressure up to 3.3 m height), minimal reliance on skilled labor, and fast site assembly, the system meets the demands of high-volume residential construction. Combined with PERI’s automated formwork production capacity of 20,000 m² per day, it enables reliable delivery at scale — on time, and to standard.

Reliable Support, Start to Finish: PERI delivers more than just formwork — we provide full project support, from planning and training to on-site assistance and after-sales service. With PERI, you get a complete solution and a trusted partner throughout your project.

 

Conclusion

The PERI Monolithic formwork system isn’t just about speed, it’s about delivering repeatable quality, cost efficiency, and technical reliability at scale. It empowers developers and contractors to deliver high-quality concrete structures in record time, while reducing labor pressure and site complexity.

Whether you’re building 50 homes or 5,000 units, PERI Monolithic is a solution built for the future of residential construction.
