Precast concrete has become a popular method of housing construction in western Canada. However, there is still relatively little precast presence in BC. Precast concrete can be an important part of the solution to BC’s housing supply challenges. The BC housing market needs a more diverse material supply chain, more prefabricated construction, and more resilient buildings. Precast concrete can fulfill all these needs. This presentation will examine how precast concrete can work in BC mid-rise residential construction, with examples and lessons learned from recent projects in Alberta. The advantages and limitations of the system will be discussed. The audience will see what type of projects are suited for precast and take inspiration on how it might work for their projects.
