PRECAST CONCRETE FOR YOUR PROJECT
For architects, precast concrete offers an opportunity to explore creative design possibilities while maintaining structural integrity. The ability to pre-design and customise components allows for greater precision and flexibility, whether designing large-scale civil projects or bespoke architectural features.
Precast concrete also simplifies the specification process, offering architects a tried-and-tested solution that balances aesthetics and performance.
Main contractors benefit from the time-saving nature of precast concrete. Since the components are pre-manufactured, site work is reduced significantly, minimising on-site disruptions and potential delays.
Precast elements can be installed quickly and efficiently, which helps contractors stay on schedule and within budget. Moreover, the high-quality control in the manufacturing process means fewer issues with installation, leading to more predictable project timelines.
Specialist contractors rely on precast concrete for its reliability and ease of installation. Whether installing drainage systems, utility chambers, or retaining walls, precast concrete’s durability and consistency reduce the risk of on-site complications.
FP McCann’s extensive experience in the sector means we understand the specific needs of sub-contractors, offering them support throughout the installation process and ensuring they have the right products for their project requirements.

PRECAST CONCRETE CASE STUDY
FP McCann Thin Flat Roof Tiles Installed on North Ayrshire Care Home
FP McCann supplied our thin leading edge interlocking concrete roof tiles branded “Thin Flat” to a brand-new care facility in Largs, North Ayrshire.
A total of 16,000 tiles together with 360 ridge tiles were specified and were chosen not only for their durability and ease of installation but also for their aesthetic appeal, which had a distinctive slate-like appearance and aligned with the care home’s modern architectural design.
The tiles were easy to fix for the contractor and minimum breakage was recorded.
