FORM READY SYSTEMS BETTER WAY TO BUILD

Today’s home designs are unique, involving a large investment in planning time, customer satisfaction, and construction perfection. We offer a better home built with higher quality and durability in less time.

Poured-In-Place Walls and Roofs

Solid

Poured-in-placed walls, like masonry block construction, provide a sturdy concrete structure. Yet poured-in-place construction offers an additional element to the home – solid concrete walls. With solid construction, poured walls withstand greater pressure. The joint free, high density construction of poured walls reduce water problems while block design incur more frequent leakage and water damage. And, unlike masonry block walls, poured-in-place walls do not have a tendency to crack or bulge. Add a poured concrete roof and you have hurricane resistant virtually indestructible home

Flexible

Poured walls can adapt to any foundation design. Their on-site versatility allows for last-minute changes and the ease of our forming systems make new ideas or revisions simple to implement.

Opportunistic

Weather is unpredictable and dynamic. Unlike masonry block construction that stops during inclement weather, including temperatures too hot or too cold, poured walls can be created during a wide range of weather and temperature conditions. Even in times of ideal weather, block materials can be scarce, thus delaying your production. The concrete used in poured-in-place walls is readily available. Forming poured walls is easier than you think! With fewer crew members, you incur less risk on the job, see faster results on each wall, and have the time to finish more jobs.

WHAT’S IN IT FOR YOU

Reduced Labor Costs

Poured-in-place walls require a smaller, more widely available crew than block masonry construction. This crew is able to keep your costs lower, your productivity higher, and your production more streamlined.

Reduced Construction and Closing Time

With fewer subcontractors to wait on and fewer operations for completion, poured-in-place walls can be ready full days ahead of block walls. Deliver your project faster and reap the rewards of billing the job sooner.

Reduced Callbacks

Poured-in-place walls experience less risk of problems such as leaking, bowing, or cracking while providing superior strength and beauty. Your builders will feel secure knowing the job is done right the first time.

Increased Job Site Performance

The poured-in-place process improves the cleanliness of your job site. Smaller crews and aluminum form panels keep disruption at a minimum. Without mortar and blocks strewn around the site, your jobs maintain a professional appearance, pleasing surrounding neighbors and reducing your waste and cleanup time.

Increased Competitive Edge

Solid poured-in-place walls provide superior performance and beauty over block construction. Your builders will enjoy the faster completion turnaround and you’ll have the jump on starting additional projects. Plus, you can offer the benefits of a poured-in-place wall to your customers at a premium price that is worth the difference.

Increased Customer Satisfaction!

In the end, it’s the customer that counts. Happy homeowners lead to happy referrals and increased job opportunities. Poured-in-place walls allow you to provide:

• Stronger, safer homes
• Less risk of dangerous mold infestation
• N o joint seams for drafts or pests to penetrate
• More flexible design options
• Improved air quality

Poured:In:Place vs. Block

Is the difference really important? Yes! While both poured-in-place and block construction methods can provide you with a foundation, poured-in-place walls hold an advantage over block in the follow areas:

• Block walls have joints and seams that can allow water infiltration, drafts, mold, and insects inside the home
• Block walls are more prone to bowing, leaking, and structural damage
• Block walls take more time to erect, increasing labor expense, project costs, and overall construction time
• Block walls require specialized crews that may not be readily available when you need them
• Block walls are hollow, not solid, and may still require the concrete pour for added strength or code compliance

Did you know?

• A poured-in-place wall is ready for finishing up to 4 days ahead of a block wall
• Poured-in-place walls have a longer construction season than block masonry, enabling you to build more homes each year
• Measurements and specifications are maintained more accurately with poured-in-place walls than with block mason construction

MOLD!

Airborne mold particles can infiltrate a home, settling on damp surfaces and easily start a thriving colony. While mold is a natural substance useful outdoors, indoor mold in a house can lead to serious side effects. Allergens, irritants, and even toxic substances may cause illness and structural damage. Getting mold out of your customers’ homes is costly, time-consuming, and sometimes not even possible, resulting in condemnation. The best way to avoid the hassle and expense is to not let mold get a hold in the first place. So how can you keep mold out? Poured-in-place concrete walls can help! Without the seams, joints, and cracks found in masonry block, precast, and wood frame construction, moisture has a hard time getting in. You can offer your customers drier, healthier homes.
