Metromont offers design–assist and design–build services. We’ll work closely with you throughout your project and deliver exactly what your project needs. Here’s a closer look at some of the benefits of quality precast concrete.
Sustainability
Metromont’s precast concrete building systems with continuous insulation provide benefits during construction and throughout the life of the building. Precast concrete can improve energy efficiency and contribute to LEED® points. Its ability to store energy and resist temperature changes can reduce long-term energy use and costs.
Quality
PCI-certified plants produce precast concrete components under strict, factory-controlled conditions. This process helps ensure consistent quality, including the required shapes, colors, textures, and tolerances. PCI inspections also evaluate the production process and overall plant operations. These quality controls help reduce faulty products, unexpected issues, additional inspections, and unnecessary costs. PCI certification provides independent industry validation of the processes and quality controls used to manufacture Metromont’s precast concrete products.
Durability
Precast concrete is highly resistant to impact, corrosion, weathering, abrasion and aging. That durability reduces maintenance and operating costs. A low water-to-cement ratio, proper compaction, and controlled curing ensure dense, highly durable concrete.
Safety
Precast concrete is non-combustible and creates a safe envelope that helps protect people, equipment and the building itself. It stands up to fire and weather events, protecting the building’s occupants and contents.

Proven Precast Expertise
Metromont brings more than a century of precast concrete experience to projects across a wide range of building types. Our PCI-certified teams work with owners, architects, engineers, and contractors from design through production and installation. That expertise is reflected in award-winning projects such as USC Foundation Gateway 737, winner of PCI’s 2026 All-Precast Solution Award. Explore the Gateway 737 Award-Winning Project.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does precast concrete construction cost?
The cost of precast concrete construction depends on several factors, including the size and complexity of the project, structural requirements, architectural finishes, transportation, and installation needs. While precast construction may have a higher upfront cost than some traditional building methods, its faster installation, reduced on-site labor, durability, and long service life can provide significant value over the life of the building. Metromont works closely with project teams to evaluate design requirements, optimize precast solutions, and provide project-specific cost estimates that align with each project’s scope and goals.
How does precast concrete construction work?
Precast concrete construction begins by manufacturing concrete components such as wall panels, beams, columns, and floor systems in a controlled production facility. Once the components have cured and passed quality inspections, they are transported to the construction site and lifted into place with cranes. The pieces are then connected to create the building’s structural framework and exterior. Because much of the work is completed before the components arrive on site, precast construction can reduce construction time, improve quality, and minimize weather-related delays.
What are the best precast concrete options for commercial buildings?
The best precast concrete option for a commercial building depends on the project’s size, design requirements, and structural needs. Common precast solutions include architectural precast panels for attractive, durable exteriors; structural precast components such as beams, columns, and floor systems for multi-story buildings; and insulated precast panels for improved energy efficiency. Precast concrete is commonly used for office buildings, parking structures, healthcare facilities, schools, hospitality projects, data centers, and industrial facilities because of its durability, design flexibility, and efficient installation.
Can precast concrete handle severe weather?
Precast concrete is designed to withstand severe weather, including hurricanes, tornadoes, heavy snow, extreme temperatures, and high winds. Its durability provides excellent resistance to wind, fire, moisture, freeze-thaw cycles, and impacts, making it a long-lasting building solution.
What is the difference between precast and tilt-up concrete?
The main difference between precast and tilt-up concrete is where the concrete is cast. Precast concrete is manufactured in a controlled facility and then transported to the job site for installation, providing consistent quality, faster installation, and greater design flexibility. Because it is produced in a controlled environment, precast is not affected by weather during manufacturing and is often the preferred choice for multi-story buildings. Tilt-up concrete is poured and cured on-site before the panels are lifted into place, making construction more dependent on weather and site conditions. It is a cost-effective option for large, single-story buildings with ample construction space.
