The Call

The building was already specified as a structural steel frame and brick façade. However, an aggressive construction schedule was to begin during the winter which can often lead to delays. The owner was open to the assurances and savings precast can provide, but would not compromise on the desired architectural impact.

Testimonial

“Truthfully, we were both skeptical and reluctant to change to a total precast structure including the architectural brick façade. However, the cost savings Metromont offered coupled with assurances of quality, safety and schedule were convincing enough for us to take the gamble. The end result has been outstanding and a project which we are all proud of!”
