WHY PRECAST
No/Minimal Brick Work
• Brick work is slower, needs plastering
• With bricks it is hard to avoid seepage
Saves Steel
Consumption of Steel is Less.
Better Technique
• No Shuttering and Scaffolding Work
• Less Transportation to Construction Site.
Safer & Better Construction Sites
• Easy Installation of Elements with Cranes
• Safe Working Conditions at Site
• Immediate Working Platform
• Dry and Clean Construction
Better Quality
• Longer Life Span of the Building
• Less Maintenance
Saves Time: No Curing
• No Curing Required at Site
• Elements are Factory Cured, Less Curing Time
• Saves Water and Energy
Low Maintenance-No Seepage
• Life Cycle Cost in Precast Buildings are negligible.
• Factory Made Precast Products
• All Extreme Weather Conditions.
• Better Looking and Better Lasting Buildings
Easy Construction-Joints
• Simple, Easy and Speedy Erection
• Minimum Amount of Joints
Precast competitiviness is based on
Materials
- Better use of raw materials
- Exact mix design
- Less waste
- Pre-stressing vs. R/C
Design
- Design standards, internal standards
- Design by testing
Production
- Better productivity
- Controlled process
- Mechanisation/ automation
Quality
- Better surfaces, less finishing work
- Quality control easy to organize

Time savings from cast in situ method to pre cast method can go up to 33%
Time savings up to 33%
Conclusion
The study revealed that, on average, the precast concrete was 10%
expensive than cast-in-place concrete construction, especially for
large scale production.
Since pre cast concrete has reduced the life cycle period by 33 %,
on-site waste reduction ,speed of construction, and quality of work
done, it is preferable to opt for the pre cast concrete In place of cast
in situ concrete
