Term Definition
Pre-Cast

pre-cast concrete refers to a type of construction product produced by casting concrete in a reusable mold or "form" which is then cured in a controlled environment . This process allows for the creation of high-quality concrete elements, such as foundations, walls, and floors, that can be transported to the construction site and lifted into place .

Key Characteristics of Pre-Cast Concrete

  • Cast in a controlled environment, away from the construction site
  • Made using reusable molds or forms
  • Cured in a controlled environment to ensure high-quality finish
  • Transported to the construction site and lifted into place

Benefits of Pre-Cast Concrete in Commercial Construction

  • Fast and cost-effective means of construction
  • Allows for speedy construction, enabling commercial, industrial, and residential tenants to move in sooner
  • Reduces time on site, equipment, third-party trades, waste, and disruption to the site
