Project reviewStart with the facts that shape this job

Drawings, scope, site conditions, and the questions your team needs to answer.

Where the work happens

Compare plant casting with on-site forming, reinforcing, placing, curing, and sequencing.

The location of the work changes the sequence, labor, access, and handoffs the project must carry.

PrecastConcrete components are cast away from the final site, then delivered for the next work.
Cast-in-placeConcrete work stays at the site for forming, reinforcing, placing, curing, and sequencing.

What the project needs to support

Check hauling, crane access, formwork, labor, pours, staging, and trade handoffs.

Put the site and schedule questions next to the system decision.

Set the cast-in-place scope

Set responsibilities for building design, component design, connections, submittals, and field coordination.

Clear contract documents make the review path easier to follow.
