Speed of construction is increased as follow-on trades can commence much earlier

Quick installation since the structure is fabricated Off-site

Off-site construction enables a high standard of workmanship in factory conditions – reduces the potential for accidents and is not affected by weather or labour shortages etc.

Wide variety of quality finishes achievable and concrete can be left exposed

Maintenance-free – no need to paint or periodically replace beams as you would with alternative types of beams such as timber beams, which can rot, or steel beams – which can rust and corrode

Fire-resistant – concrete has its own built-in fire resistance, which can also help to keep insurance costs down etc and there is no requirement for a site applied fire coating as with other systems

Economical – lower total cost due to speed of construction, lower labour costs as welders or skilled workers are not required for installation; concrete frames are not as expensive as steel beams and have lower maintenance costs

The high thermal capacity of concrete can reduce the demand for heating, ventilation and air conditioning, unlike alternative types of frames

Flexible design – concrete can be cast into any shape, for example, arch-shaped beams, required to suit a variety of project plans and elevations.
