Precast concrete building types for every kind of structure

Precast concrete building types range from parking structures and hospitals to schools, warehouses, and data centers. Whether you want to enhance the look of a building, speed up construction, or improve durability, Coreslab Structures supplies the architectural, structural, and infrastructure components, backed by plants certified by the Precast/Prestressed Concrete Institute.

Why precast

Choosing among precast concrete building types

Each of the precast concrete building types above has its own demands. Parking structures need long spans and durable surfaces. Hospitals and schools need fire resistance, acoustic performance, and fast schedules. Data centers and warehouses need large open floor plans and tilt-up or insulated wall panels that protect what is inside. Because precast is manufactured in a controlled plant, quality stays consistent and weather rarely slows the work.

Our teams in 17 plants across North America work with architects, engineers, and contractors from the earliest design stage, helping match the right system to the building type, budget, and schedule. Many projects combine several components, such as hollow-core floors, insulated wall panels, and precast stairs, delivered in sequence for efficient erection.

See how these building types come together on our featured projects page, review the precast concrete products we manufacture, or contact your nearest plant to discuss your project. For design guidance, the PCI also publishes a helpful library of technical resources.
