Designing and constructing a total-precast concrete system requires familiarity with precast concrete design, fabrication, and delivery methods, so that maximum value can be realized. For owners, TPS may require financial decisions earlier than traditional program scheduling. Designers will be required to coordinate many of the integrated systems at earlier stages than normal program scheduling. Precast concrete manufacturers may be chosen at earlier stages of this process, many times at or prior to contractor selection. Working through these challenges effectively allows the owner to fully capture maximum value. There are operational challenges that require advance planning. Size and weight constraints play a significant role in the design and cost profile of the precast concrete system components, making accurate and thorough operational knowledge an important part of early project discussions. Owners should be encouraged to expedite procurement of the required precast concrete knowledge and expertise, usually through a qualified producer who can supply the project needs. This can be accomplished either through design-build procurement or direct negotiation with a precast concrete supplier.
