Single and Multi-Family

Precast is definitely not the first construction material people think of when it comes to single and multi-family homes, but the benefits it provides to homeowners makes it a valuable option. Precast offers several security benefits to homeowners including resistance to extreme weather events and inherent fire and storm protection. Precast is also cost-effective over time because of its energy efficiency and lower maintenance costs. Homeowners can also take advantage of the aesthetic versatility of precast to design a home that matches their specific design taste. Accelerated building schedules allow precast to be erected faster than homes designed with traditional building materials . Multi-family homes benefit from the noise-canceling qualities precast offers. In the end, precast is a great alternative to stick-built construction for homeowners who are looking for a more resilient, durable solution that saves money over the life of the home.

Student Housing

Student housing facilities face many demands during their lifetimes. Decades of students moving in and out translates into a lot of wear and tear on a structure. Durable construction materials that meet the challenges of student populations are key, along with safe and comfortable environments that allow for flexibility. Precast meets these demands because it is an inherently durable, resilient material that provides protection from storms, fires, and other threats. Precast offers the reduction in noise pollution that can occur in crowded residential spaces. Lower life cycle maintenance costs provides value to the university in the long run. Additionally, schools are often challenged with accelerated schedules to complete construction projects while students are away and precast is able to meet these accelerated schedules without issue.

Commercial Hotels and Condos

Hotels and condos take a lot of abuse from guests and demand durable options for construction. Precast provides building owners with numerous aesthetic and structural options to meet their project goals for beautiful and functional high residency structures. Precast offers sound insulation, resiliency, and protection of guests from extreme events such as weather and fires. Precast hotels and condos work well in all geographic areas and serve residents with the comfort and safety they expect.

Senior Living

Senior Living centers are designed with the priority of creating comfortable environments for occupants in a budget-friendly manner. Precast is able to help senior living facilities optimize their buildings with aesthetic and structural versatility. High-performance precast is great for both low and high-rise structures and is a durable, resilient material that can be constructed quickly without sacrificing quality.

Case Study

The One South First mixed-use building projects from Gate Precast showcases just how versatile precast can be for residential projects. Using precast, designers reused a 22-story commercial structure and transformed it into a contemporary residential building. Precast was used for the facade to pay homage to the original use of the building as a Domino Sugar factory.
