Advantages of Precast Concrete Buildings

Environment

  • Sustainable - concrete is a natural building material, 100% recyclable
  • Reduction of squandering of energy, water and building material
  • Very low waste in the production process
  • Reduced packaging materials
  • After demolishing of a concrete building the material such as concrete and steel reinforcement can be recycled and reused in new buildings

Economic

  • Fix price and fixed hand-over date
  • Short-time erection - less costs for financing and for site equipments
  • Industrialised building - less supervision, less crafts, less coordination
  • Precise reinforcing during prefabrication saves steel and ensures exact rebar figures
  • Precise consumption of all material used (cement, steel etc.) - pre-fabrication in a factory -controlling
  • No maintenance of the building necessary

Quality

  • High quality: Pre-fabrication independent of weather conditions
  • Highest precision and quality of the concrete elements
  • Best quality due to the quality control in the precast concrete plant
  • Best possible fire resistance without additional efforts
  • High noise protection and best thermal behaviour
  • Low moisture content in the finished building

Design

  • Optimized exploitation of living area - slim construction wall elements
  • No constraint of architectural design
  • High quality of precast elements save costs for plastering, only joint filler and paint or wall paper required
  • Concrete gives a versatile and durable façade with all possible finishes and colours

Construction

  • Accurate production guaranteed by factory environment
  • Load-bearing walls substitute frame or skeleton structures which is a cost reduction
  • High grade of in-factory completed embeds (pipes, conduits, electric boxes etc.) reduces the time of assembly and completion on the building site
  • Earthquake-resistant building system

The final result of this technology is comparable to concrete in-situ constructions and for the engineers easy to understand and to handle

Assembling

  • Shortest assembling of the construction on site, reduces the period of disturbance for adjacent residents
  • Pre-fabricated elements can be stored and delivered according to the work flow on the construction site
  • No scaffolding, only temporary props for pre-fabricated products required
