    Precast concrete structures have several advantages over traditional construction methods. They provide dimensional accuracy and consistent finish since walls are composed of large prefabricated panels instead of bricks. They require no plastering and have uniform quality which eliminates leaks and cracks while reducing maintenance costs. Precast structures also provide energy efficiency, reduced construction timelines, and consistent high quality.

    Advantages of Pre-Cast Concrete

    Technology in Housing.
    Walls are composed of large size panels and not by a composition of Bricks.
    No need for plastering any of the surfaces as it is an Industrialized production of panels ensuring
    Dimensional accuracy and consistent finish and pattern.

    Precast Structures possess uniform quality, eliminates problem of leakage and cracks, and reduces
    maintenance costs.
    Eco friendly, Energy Efficient & Green Building Structures and reduces carbon emission
    and much more advantages .

    The resultant savings are significant being up to 30% on heating and cooling costs.
    The thickness of the load bearing walls can be limited to 125 mm / 150 mm against the conventional 230 mm thus
    precast structures will be able to provide more carpet area for the same Plinth area of the Building.
    The Life of the Structure is guaranteed for a minimum of 100 years if the
    conventional Structure is considered for a life Time of 60 Years.

    • The Grade of Concrete M-40 is being used for all


    elements, as against the M-20 Grade concrete used in the
    conventional structure.
    • The Time taken for construction complete in all respects
    can be limited to 40% as compared to that of a
    Conventional Structure.
    • Allows designers to create longer spans using less
    material that is concrete & steel than in the case
    of a conventional design.
    • Precast Structures are an all-weather
    construction materials which are equally
    effective in regions with freezing or scorching
    temperatures. It is also non-combustible and
    does not melt and therefore do not require
    additional fire proofing applications .
    Requires only 33% labour at Site for
    the complete the Building construction
    The Texture or pattern of the Exterior finish can be integrated in the panel itself thus the
    additional Cost, Time, Labour for adding the desired Finish can be avoided.

    • Most ideal and sought after solution for identical


    repetitions as there can not be changes or
    variations due to mis matching and lack of
    Coordination at the Work Site .

    • Earlier realization or Usage of the Building there


    by Starting to reap the returns faster by utilizing
    the facility created

    • Industrialized Production of various components


    and therefore machine perfection, dimensional
    consistency ensuring perfect Finish.
    All the services are integrated
    and coordinated at the
    Drawing board itself before
    casting the panels, ensuring
    efficient planning and
    coordination combining all the
    details, there is a lot of saving
    in terms of Time and avoid
    rework, patch up works etc;
    Minimizes wastage of Material and the excess produces are recycled in some other form for
    usage in the Industry.
    Precast construction is adoptable and user friendly by devising the System which helps in
    setting up a production facility at the Work Site itself thereby the Cost towards Lifting,
    Transportation ,time delay implications.
    Consistent Quality and Finish.
