Lower Cost To Build Alora
Alora's structure is primarily made up of post-tension stone. Stone is a strong natural material, abundantly available.
More Durable So Alora Lasts
Post-tensioning gives stone super strength through internal cabling, creating a compressive force that enhances structural integrity.
