Introduction

• What we are doing• CIP garage for multi-family residential bldg.

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-

beamEX:

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-Estimating• Quantity and Price Output

Technology-Scheduling

• Primavera 6• Resources loaded from Estimate• Multiple formset/cycle options

Technology- 4D modeling

• Visual Intelligence for Construction Management

• Clear Visualization and Less Miscommunication with GC/clients/laborers

Technology- 4D modeling

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

Entry into garage. Note the openness and how much natural light .

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.
