CIP vs PreCastCIP
• More integrated and stable structure
• Safer environment for workers and garage users
• Long life expectancy • Less initial cost: bills paid
mostly as work is completed• Cracks that expose steel to
corrosive agents minimized
• Pieces held together with caulked and welded joints
• Higher insurance cost than CIP projects
• Frequent maintenance required• Up to 50% garage cost required
before any on-site progress• More structural problems
exist : Double Ts, Joints and Cracks
Precast
CIP vs PreCastCIP Precast
Less disturbance to the surrounding area
More flexibility in terms of finish and shape
Plans can be altered as construction progresses
Benefits the local economy, boosting the community and small businesses
• Large amount of on-site storage space needed for concrete and equipment
Technology-Quantity TakeoffAccu-Crete adopts the most efficient and
renown software in the construction industry to provide competitive and accurate bids.
An example of such is On-Screen-Takeoff.
• The use of digital blueprints allows the quick take-off of materials. This translates into higher productivity, faster response time and more accurate estimates.
Accuracy
Technology-Estimating
• Beam, Decks, Columns Formwork Material– Total project area – Layout and # of formsets– Type and length of each beam– # of Columns– Stair or high bay situations
Technology-Estimating
• Options– Beam shoring: PERI, Symons GBS– Deck panels: 4’x8’ or 4’x12’ HDO Plywood– Joists: Symons Aluminum, H20 (wood), EFCO E-

Technology-Estimating
• Process– Input information and selections in highlighted fields
(green)
– Program will automatically assign relevant components to formwork estimate
–Obtain output in terms of cost and quantity of formwork material
– Final cost given per SF total project area
Technology- 4D modeling
• Visual Intelligence for Construction Management
• Clear Visualization and Less Miscommunication with GC/clients/laborers
Innovation: Ribbon Beam System
• Additional Floor to Ceiling Height• More Natural Light• Easier Access to Parking• Less Requirements for Electrical Light
Innovation: Ribbon Beam System
Looking up the ramp at the entry to garage. Note the utility pipes for drainage located in the drive lane. Better planning could have avoided this. These utility pipes are causing a loss of overall height.
Innovation: Ribbon Beam System
Electrical lighting is reduced due to openness. Columns have been moved back making access to parking easier. Concrete curb wall with plinths and barrier cables may be used.
Innovation: Ribbon Beam System
View at the drive and parking lane. More natural light. Less requirements for electrical fixtures. No deep drop beams block light.
