Very nice

I have a question. I've heard that this technology doesn't require columns & beams up to 2 storeys. But can undersized RCC members be used in combination with this technology to make it stronger especially in seismically active regions?

Yes it's true, we can go upto 2 storey without columns and beams, because after plaster It automatically creates thousands of micro pillars and micro beams.. But as per current climatic and geographic conditions we built over framed structure, so it will be much stronger and home owners can extend more floors in the future.

Then it seems the structures made of these materials are load bearing. Last question, that being said, if ever RCC beams are to be used and in worst case scenario experienced shear failure, does this mean the EPS wall below will act as support to prevent the beam from collapsing?

@@dongarybacuno6315 Yes, EPS panels are flexible so it will hold the load for longer time.. EPS construction system is a monolithic building system, entire building acts as a single structure so every walls and slabs supporting each other and will not collapse easily.. What happens in brick and concrete building is that it crumbles like wafers, in EPS system because of it's wire mesh reinforcement the wall and slab will not break apart, meshes hold the plaster inside..

Thank you very much.
