As a builder, precast concrete offers you maximum control to get the job done fast and safely, with impressive outcomes.
Precast makes budget, beats deadlines and is an environmentalist’s dream.
Safety
Precast reduces risk and increases site safety through well established codes of practice and sizeable reductions in onsite work, equipment and waste. Precast structures provide easy access during construction, reducing the need for potentially dangerous scaffolding. Compliance with health and safety regulations and the management of a projects risk profile are made simpler by the use precast.
Cost
Precast moves work offsite, greatly decreases waste, speeds up erection and reduces vulnerability to weather all while providing significantly reduced facility, supervision, equipment hire and wage costs. A full Precast project on average provides at least a 35% reduction in build time.
Quality
National Precasters Members ensure that their product meet and exceed expectations. Produced in factories with strictly controlled processes for moulding, batching, casting and finishing, precast is a consistent, high quality construction material.
Impact
Full precast construction sites easily achieve at least a 35% reduction in build time, have less vibration and greatly reduced noise-generating processes. Precast decreases the site impact of a project, providing a substantially quicker and quieter construction with shorter period of disturbance for surrounding properties.
Reliability
Produced in factories, by skilled workers, precast provides a level of reliability that many other construction materials simply do not. The combination of large factories, dedicated workforces, reduced weather vulnerability and impressive quality control standards ensures the production and delivery of a consistent, high quality product, day after day for even the largest projects.
Off-site
Precast is manufactured off-site meaning that problems commonly associated with site space, noise, weather and waste disposal are no longer issues for the contractor.
Sustainability
A range of sustainability benefits can be realised through use of precast.
