Precast Concrete Walls
Precast walls can be fabricated as many shapes and forms.
Reinforcement bars and wire mesh are used to hold the concrete in place.

Metal studsAre becoming more common in residential construction.
Precut holes are provided for electrical and plumbing lines.
Sustainable WallsManufacturers who create construction materials and components use ENERGY STAR and LEED criteria during the production process of their products. This practice ensures that builders will select products that will create a sustainable structure.
