Quiet

Mass of solid concrete walls blocks out external noise, enhancing the comfort of those inside the home.

Faster to Build

Helps shave numerous construction days off a typical home building timeframe.

Reduced Labor

Fewer subcontractors are needed in this type of construction lowering labor costs and increasing productivity with a smaller labor force.

Improved Utilization and Scheduling

Operations, scheduling and administration becomes more efficient in concrete construction with less labor and fewer subcontractors.

Quicker Turnaround

A home is “dried-in” when final concrete lift is complete and allows succeeding trade work to begin quicker so an average home can be completed substantially sooner.

Energy Efficient

Energy-efficient concrete homes benefit from the thermal mass effect when properly built with insulated wall and floors to retain heat when needed and prevent HVAC systems from running more than necessary. Airtight solid construction.

Minimizes Waste / Environmentally Friendly

Use of cast-in-place green concrete building methods drastically reduces construction material waste including lumber, sheetrock, wiring, and mechanical scraps reducing landfill disposal.
