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 across the Mid-Atlantic. 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. Diverse Building Applications:  Prestressed concrete framing systems and aesthetic building envelope options that are adaptable to program requirements.
2. Economical Design and Detailing Strategies:  How to select the best solutions for the specific design considerations.
3. Structural Efficiency:  Highlight strategies for the economical design, shipping, and construction of precast, prestressed products.
4. State-of-the-Art Manufacturing Capabilities:  Processes that are evolving to meet sustainability requirements with predictable, reliable project outcomes.
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.
