Precast Concrete
Precast concrete is a construction product that is produced by casting concrete in a reusable mould or form. This mould or form is then cured in a strictly controlled environment and then transported to the construction site, where it is lifted into place.
However, in contrast, standard concrete is only poured into site-specific forms and is typically cured at the project site. Similarly, precast stone is distinguished from precast concrete by using an aggregate in the concrete mixture, typically natural gravel or sand.
The making of Precast Concrete
Precast concrete has been used since the early 20th century. It significantly reduces the construction time of a building as the sections are manufactured and cured off-site while the building is being erected. Precast concrete is made by casting concrete in a mould.
This mould can be made of wood, metal, or plastic. The concrete is then left to cure in the mould. Once it is cured, the mould is removed, and the precast concrete piece is ready to be used in construction.
Why Use Precast Concrete?
Versatility
Precast concrete is a versatile construction material that can be used in a variety of applications. It can be cast in various shapes and sizes, and it can also be used to create structural and non-structural elements. Precast concrete can be produced in a variety of colours and finishes, and it can be textured to create a variety of visual effects.
Durability
Precast concrete is a popular choice for construction projects because it is durable, strong, and easy to work with. It is also a good choice for cladding due to its durability and fire resistance.
Cost effectiveness
Precast concrete is also a cost-effective construction material.
Sustainability & energy efficiency
Precast concrete is a sustainable construction material. It is made from natural materials, and it can be recycled and reused. Precast concrete is also an energy-efficient construction material.
Types of Precast Concrete Products
There are many different types of precast concrete products. These concrete products are pretty commonly used in the construction industry. Typically, they are manufactured in a factory and then transported to the construction site, where they are then lifted into place.
Beams and columns
Precast concrete beams and columns are used to support the floors and roofs of a building.
Floors
Precast concrete floors are used to create the floors of a building.
Walls
Precast concrete walls are another standard precast concrete product. They are used to create the walls of a building.
Staircases
Precast concrete staircases are used to create the staircases of a building.
Cladding panels
Precast concrete cladding panels are used to create the exterior cladding of a building.
Melbourne Precast Concrete Experts
There are many advantages to using precast concrete products. At Cemex, we manufacture precast concrete products in a controlled environment. This makes the quality of the products more consistent.
Our precast concrete products are also easier to install as they are lifted into place. This reduces the construction time of the building that we work on as the installation of precast concrete products is faster than the installation of traditional concrete products.
At Cemex, we use precast concrete in a variety of applications, including foundations, walls, floors, and beams. We find precast concrete to be easy to work with, making it a good choice for projects that require complex shapes or tight tolerances.
We can use precast concrete for both commercial and residential construction projects. We can also use it in the construction of a variety of structures, including office buildings, warehouses, schools, hospitals, and homes. Our precast concrete products include:
- Concrete bricks
- Concrete paving stones
- Precast concrete walls
- Precast concrete floors
- Precast concrete roofing
- Precast concrete pipes
We can manufacture these products in a variety of shapes, sizes, finishes, and textures to meet the specific needs of your project.

Affordable Precast Concrete
At Cemex Concrete Company, we realise that precast concrete products are more expensive than traditional concrete products. This is because the manufacturing process is more costly. Precast concrete products are also heavier than conventional concrete products. This means that they require more lifting equipment, and this can add to the cost of the project.
But you need not let this stop you from considering the use of precast concrete products. We are ready to consider your budget in our costing.
Contact our dedicated team at Cemex Concreting Company to learn more about this versatile construction material if you are considering using precast concrete for your next construction project.
