Precast Concrete

Precast concrete is a construction materials which the majority of structural components are standardized and produced in plants that located away from the building, and then transported to the site for assembly.
All components are manufactured by industrial methods based on mass production in order to build a large number of buildings in a short time at low cost.
Precast concrete
-Enables faster construction times - not affected by weather or labours shortages.
-Improves build ability - early enclosure of dry envelope enables follow-on trades to start sooner.
-Produces a high standard of workmanship in factory conditions - reduces potential for accidents, addresses on-site skill shortage.
-Has a high quality finish that can be left exposed - concrete's thermal properties can be exploited in low-energy buildings.
