Concrete Frame

1. Concrete construction is a pay as you go type of construction. Competing systems require significant outlays of capital when the contracts are signed.

2. Concrete frames are competitive in price with other building systems.

3. Concrete frames are schedule friendly allowing construction to start before the entire structure is completely designed.

4. Concrete frames offer long floor spans and column free spaces allowing great flexibility and maximum utilization of the finished product.

5. Concrete frames require less floor-to-floor height because of the reduced thickness of the floor structure versus steel. This reduced floor depth translates into lower overall building height reducing the amount of brick, glass, and building skin.

6. Concrete frames are extremely flexible allowing design changes well into the construction schedule. Steel building designs are rigid and require considerable lead time and cost to change once construction has begun.

7. Concrete frames are inherently fire resistant and do not require the costly and environmentally unfriendly spray on fire proofing required on steel buildings to meet the same fire rating.

8. Concrete frames are inherently sound and vibration resistant, reducing the bounce and the floor-to-floor noise transmission common in other types of building systems.

Whatever the need, from parking structures, to office complexes, to schools and churches, concrete frames offer an excellent choice for your building frame system.Cleveland Cement can help with budgets during the frame selection process or we can provide a complete, turn key, design build concrete frame.
