9. PRECAST CONCRETE FOUNDATION FOR ADU
◈ Using precast concrete foundations offers several advantages over traditional on-site installation methods.
Key benefits are as follows:
1. Time Efficiency:
- Precast concrete foundations are manufactured off-site in a controlled environment while site preparation and other construction activities are ongoing.
- Once the precast elements are delivered, the installation process is quicker than constructing a foundation on-site, as there's no need for on-site formwork and curing time.
2. Quality Control:
- Precast elements are produced under controlled factory conditions, ensuring high quality and consistent results.
3. Reduced Labor Requirements:
- Precast foundations can be installed with fewer workers on-site compared to traditional methods, as much of the manufacturing and preparation work is done off site.
4. Consistency and Precision:
- Precast elements are manufactured using precise molds, ensuring uniformity in dimensions and structure.
5. Reduced Waste:
- On-site waste is reduced since there is less need for formwork and other temporary materials.
