We worked closely with the architects and structural engineer to incorporated pre-cast and cast-in-place concrete balconies and terraces that also provided thermal breaks.
There was alot of coordination required to install cast in place shear walls. We used our 3D modelling software and provided tolerance allowances in our connection details to accommodate larger concrete installation tolerances.
We accommodated unique building step back and step by incorporating structural steel into our wall panels to ensure an easier installation by one crew. We also provided a simple roof drainage solution. We designed our system for sloped concrete on the roof which eliminates the need for more expensive tapered insulation, while keeping the under side of the joists level. This allows you to avoid dropping the ceiling which is expensive relative to a normal ceiling.
