Broadgate Construction is the global marketing partner for Easy Panel Construction (EPC), a privately owned Thailand based company established to develop, manufacture, market and license energy efficient, low-cost and environmentally friendly residential and industrial construction materials for the 21st century.In the construction of residential housing (both single unit and multi-family) EPC’s advantages over more traditional construction materials include:• Excellent thermal insulation (resulting in energy and cost savings)• Excellent sound insulation (giving residents a more comfortable living environment)• Lightweight (allowing ease of construction without requiring heavy equipment and using local, not necessarily highly skilled, labour)• Structural strength (with significantly greater resistance to high wind conditions and earthquakes than traditional low-cost traditional building materials)• Fast construction (providing considerable cost savings and/or quicker revenue generation for your project when compared to traditional building techniques, especially in high labor cost markets)• Fire retardant• Resistant to insect and water damageBuilding costs are always an important consideration in any housing construction project, but this is especially true in today’s environment when quick, efficient construction is critical. Easy Panel is a solution that no project manager should overlook. Although completed EPC panels (ready for use in a construction project) are very lightweight, it is typically not cost-effective to ship large numbers of panels over great distances.For this reason, we utilize a franchise business model that will allow for a limited number of franchised manufacturers to supply their own local markets at price levels that best match their customers’ requirements and expectations.
