Yes! I feel so much better now after you made it very clear that precast concrete could actually extend the structural lifespan of our building altogether. One of my cousins is in the middle of expanding her kitchen which is scheduled to be completed next month. I’ll suggest this material to her so she could end up with an impressive product.
Great article on precast concrete. Very educational and helpful, especially to concrete contractors like ourselves who are in the industry.
