During a project’s design phase, construction professionals can use value engineering to make building material substitutions to optimize the performance and functionality of a building while reducing its life cycle cost. Advances in materials and design have afforded the opportunity for designers to increase a structure’s functionality while reducing construction, operation, and maintenance costs. As a material that offers exceptional strength, durability, and energy efficiency, hollowcore is a preferred building material for today’s value-driven construction projects.
Maximize Function for Maximized Value
Utilizing hollowcore in a project design provides advantages by increasing function and customer satisfaction. Hollowcore allows contractors to build larger, interior areas with fewer columns, translating to more advanced, space-utilizing designs. In addition, the high thermal mass of concrete can increase energy efficiency and reduce operating costs over the structure’s service life. Hollowcore has fire ratings for up to three hours and provides natural acoustic dampening, adding to occupant safety and comfort.
Save Money by Streamlining the Building Process
County Prestress & Precast’s Hollowcore is manufactured in our PCI-Certified facility to meet the specifications of your project. Hollowcore is made to integrate with other materials like concrete masonry, steel framing, and cast-in-place wall systems. We deliver our hollowcore to the building site, ready to install, and they can be put into place quickly. Because the prestressed planks can function as an immediate subfloor and ceiling, using hollowcore can accelerate project timelines, resulting in shorter project timelines and reduced labor costs.
