I am not sure there is any time saving but if you are interested in reducing costs you might want to consider construction methods using mud-bricks (adobe) or ciment stabilised bricks (banco stabilisé) promoted in West Africa by two NGOs - Woodless Construction and Voutes Noubiennes. Also by ESIAU (école supérieure d’ingénierie d’architecture et d’urbanisme) in Bamako www.esiau-mali.com and www.esiau-mali.net Contact the Director Abdoulaye Deyoko (email) : esiau-infos@esiau-mali.com . There are many examples of buildings built entirely in these materiels and also examples where they are combined with more conventional concrete construction techniques, to reduce costs and improve thermal qualities
