Precast Concrete Building System

Modern construction with precast concrete elements

What is a building system?

A building system is the foundation of any structure, consisting of various components such as walls, floors, roofs, columns, beams, and stairs. Precast concrete elements are an essential part of this system, providing flat construction elements with integrated building services for walls, floors, and roofs.

Walls are typically produced to floor-to-ceiling heights, while floors and roofs are manufactured in specific widths and lengths based on transportation limits and aesthetic considerations.

By using precast concrete, construction projects benefit from higher efficiency, lower costs, faster completion, less impact on the environment, less noise and dust on the construction site.

Decision criteria for the selection of a building system

Each building type requires a different building system with suitable structural elements. Industrial buildings are based on columns and beams. A building system with walls and floors is the most advantageous choice for an apartment building. At the beginning of the planning stage, it is necessary to determine which building types we will built in order to find the most efficient building system. Apart from the building type, climatic conditions like wind loads, seismic loads, temperature etc. have an influence on this decision.

Every building system has its specific guidelines and regulations which need to be considered in order to use it efficiently. In some countries, norms and guidelines need to be adapted to the precast concrete construction method or be established in the first place.
