There are considerable advantages with precast construction products:

 

Inherent Fire Properties – Concrete maintains its own fire resistant properties that are achieved without the addition of additional linings and fire retardants.

 

Reduced Formwork – Huge savings made when precast solutions are contracted instead of on-sight casting formwork.

 

Estimated savings:

Formwork 75%

Less Scaffolding 75% to 90%

Less Wet Concrete 90% less

 

Quicker return on investment – 20% quicker construction due to the rapid development involved with precast solutions. This will free up time later on within a project.

 

Greater project control – Utilising precast products ensures greater accuracy and quality as the factory manufacturing process is more clinical than on-sight production due to many circumstances, i.e. poor weather and inconsistent labour. It also saves valuable time and labour: estimated at 50%.
