Having now had several years’ experience building with the REZICAST® precast concrete system and working with you and your team I would like to highlight the benefits I have found.
We are small custom builders and from my point of view these are the key positives to us using the REZICAST® system:
- Reduced construction time as so much of the structure is produced off site and then roof coverings can be installed early on in the timeline, mostly avoiding wet weather delays.
- The ability of us with a very small (2-3 person) directly employed workforce to get structure to lockup in greatly reduced time compared to brick veneer or clad frame construction.
- The ability to apply the system to, in our case, three-bedroom budget builds right through to 550 square metre architect designed boutique This has all been done with the same small workforce.
- Significantly reduced amounts of construction
- The system is a point of difference to every other builder competing for the client. We find most people already have the perception when they come to us that precast concrete construction is stronger and more durable than other methods. We also find rapid acceptance of the other benefits we highlight to potential clients such as superior thermal and acoustic performance.
Overall, I am extremely happy I chose to begin building using REZICAST® Systems, especially with the expert help and advice given at the beginning. At that point I had over fifteen years1 experience as a residential builder but absolutely no experience in precast concrete. It basically took only one build to become comfortable in using precast concrete.
Please have no hesitation in passing on my experiences to builders who are considering adopting REZICAST® Systems and I am happy to personally answer any questions they may have from a builders point of view.
