Total Building Systems

The benefits of precast concrete are no longer limited to just a few aspects of design and construction. New advances and product innovations have pushed precast to the forefront of durable, economic building systems. With clear advantages in increased strength and load bearing capacity, precast concrete continues to perform impressively in structural components. Wall systems and prestressed precast concrete planks and decking speed construction, meet or exceed most building codes, while at the same time reduce the load on escalating labor costs.

Total Precast Building SystemsRenowned for its brawn, precast is not without beauty. Uniquely designed and intricate architectural panels feature a wide range of colors textures and special surface effects of acid-etching, sandblasting, waterblasting and grooving among other innovative techniques. Precast's greatest asset, however, may be its ability to build faster and more efficiently with significant savings in overall costs. Without sacrificing structural design flexibility or aesthetic quality, precast systems speed time to occupancy up to 30% and reduces foundation, superstructure enclosure time by as much as to 55%.

The time is right and the products have proven themselves in the field. Precast concrete systems have earned a place on the construction sites and in the budgets of a growing, building, prosperous America.
