Solution: Precast elevator shafts accelerate the construction process for a luxury apartment complex
Precast Elevator Shafts Speed Up Construction of Florida Apartment Compex
Located in a suburb of Tampa, Florida, that was recently named one of the nation's top cities for relocation, the Bainbridge Wesley Chapel apartment complex will meet the increasing housing demand in the area. The luxury apartment complex will offer one-, two-, and three-bedroom homes featuring chef-inspired kitchens with quartz counters, designer fixtures, smart thermostats, and keyless entries. The complex will also provide an array of amenities, including a resort-style pool, a gaming room, a fitness center, and a dog park.
The Bainbridge Companies, one of the nation's largest developers, specified County Prestress & Precast's Elevator Shafts for their installation efficiency. Precast shafts can reduce labor costs and project timelines because they can be manufactured while the job site is being prepared and can be installed in days, not weeks. Additionally, they require fewer inspections than traditional shafts, further helping projects stay on schedule.
County Prestress & Precast manufactured and installed six elevator shafts for this project in just three days. Precast elevator shafts offer exceptional safety benefits, including earning fire ratings up to two hours and resisting natural and manmade disasters. Additionally, temporary scaffolding and ladders aren't needed to install precast shafts, eliminating a potential hazard from the job site.
Project Highlights:
Precast elevator shafts significantly accelerated the construction timeline for this project. Instead of waiting an average of four weeks for a single shaft to be completed using traditional methods, these shafts were installed in just three days.
