Pre-cast concrete frame
Offsite residential construction, Glossary of terms, published by Buildoffsite in 2018, defines pre-cast concrete frame as a: ‘Structural frame using pre-cast concrete columns and beams, and/or panels. These may be factory finished internally or externally and may remain exposed in the final building. The extent of onsite work may vary significantly between projects. Members may be single columns or beams with factory-made connections, or the members may be pre-assembled into larger sections, either offsite or at low level adjacent to the works. Pre-cast concrete may be used together with in situ concrete or structural steel as part of a hybrid frame.’
