Real Estate Developer / Advantages of Precast Concrete Buildings

Economic

• Fix price and fixed hand-over date
• Short-time erection – less costs for financing and for site equipments
• Less labour on the site – less labour costs
• Industrialised building – less supervision, less crafts, less coordination
• Precise reinforcing during prefabrication saves steel and ensures exact rebar figures
• Precise consumption of all used material – pre-fabrication in a factory –controlling

Quality

• High quality: Pre-fabrication independent of weather conditions
• Highest precision and quality of the concrete elements due to the production on smooth steel moulds
• Better quality – quality control in the precast concrete plant

Design

• Optimized exploitation of land area – slight construction elements
• The flat shells are easy to mould for ambitious architectural contours, no constraint of architectural design
• Smooth surface saves costs for plastering, only joint filler and paint or wall paper
• Surface treatment – design by shuttering, form liners, exposed aggregate finishes, sand plastering, colour design etc.

Construction

• Exact production guaranteed by automation: lower tolerances, fire resistance, heat & sound insulation, storage capacity
• Load-bearing walls substitute frame and skeleton structures
• High grade of in-factory completed embeds (pipes, conduits, electric boxes etc.)
• 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, just-in-time job and short noise pollution for abutting owner
• 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

Recycle

• Waste concrete can be recycled
• Equipment wash down water can be recycled before disposal > zero waste possible
• Reduced packaging materials
