Building Elements

A Cost-Effective Material for Any Building Type

Precast concrete is a high-quality construction material, well-suited to any building type. Because precast integrates well with other resources, it can used very effectively to build components for a range of construction projects. Whether the building is commercial, residential, or public, our precast building services provide a safe and cost-effective way to integrate the essential components needed for your build.

The versatile nature of precast means it can be combined with materials such as steel, or used as a composite structure on its own. As well as offering fast construction times, high quality and profitability, precast concrete can be used to create beautiful, modern structures in keeping with your architectural design.

Minimal Logistics, Maximum Efficiency

Unlike other construction materials, precast concrete can be set off-site and then transferred from the factory when ready, thus improving project productivity by shortening construction time. It also saves space and keeps public disruption to a minimum. Precast components also help reduce the lifetime costs of a building as there’s very little structural maintenance required.

At J P. Carrara & Sons, some of the precast building elements we can provide include:

Internal walls, partitions and cladding
Precast concrete foundations
Hollow core floors
Frames, columns, beams, and slabs
Stairs and shafts

Reduced Carbon Footprint

Developing precast building elements off-site can significantly reduce your project’s carbon footprint compared to cast-in-situ. Precast uses far less raw materials than any alternative, not to mention less labor. It produces less waste on your construction site and can significantly lower your project’s CO2 footprint.
Because precast is easy to handle, it can be used in any type of environment, whether it be hot, cold, moist, or dry climates. Hardening times are easily adjusted to suit the temperature and can be speeded up or slowed down by mixing the concrete with other elements.

To discuss the precast building elements that you need for your project, get in touch with J P. Carrara today. We have a highly-experienced, fully-qualified team ready to advise you.
