Program Description:
Precast, prestressed concrete multifamily and residential buildings are built to last, providing accelerated construction and material efficiency benefits relative to alternative or traditional construction methods. Completed precast concrete multifamily buildings reflect the culture and history of the surrounding community while providing safe, robust, and visually appealing structures. Precast fabricators are leaders and pioneers in modern prefabricated construction techniques, with proven track records and hundreds of completed projects annually in the Mid-Atlantic region. They are trusted partners, working side-by-side with owners, designers, and construction professionals from the earliest stages of project design through turnover of the completed structure.
Learning Objectives
1. Detailing Strategies: Discover the variety of framing systems and building types made possible with architectural precast concrete, including the aesthetic options of precast concrete.
2. Economical Design: Learn to design cost-effective layouts helping optimize budget and timeline, learn about erection procedures, and navigate the complexities of transportation considerations.
3. Sustainability and Resilience: Delve into how precast concrete contributes to sustainable and resilient building designs, ensuring long-term performance that exceeds industry standards.
4. State-of-the-Art Manufacturing Capabilities: Processes that are evolving to meet sustainability requirements with high quality, prefabrication techniques.
5. Tried and True Experience: With decades in operation and hundreds of completed structures, fabricators deliver expert technical design assistance, budget development, schedule planning, and value engineering for successful project outcomes. Several multifamily case studies will be explored during the program.
