What I will be researching is the advantages and disadvantages for using precast concrete vs traditional methods in homes, commercial buildings, and apartments. For example concrete homes are extremely sound and durable unlike wood built ones. A total precast home is extremely mold and mildew resistant also. Total precast homes have no beams and columns in the basement which provides long clear spans for a very flexible design. Precast concrete homes also have a very high fire rating and provide a great storm shelter because of their strength but compared to a traditional built home the cost to build a precast home is way higher
