Precast concrete design, budgeting, and value engineering
Design Assistance

Molin’s Design Assistance service provides your team with expert guidance to help you explore the almost limitless possibilities of precast concrete options. By involving Molin during the schematic stage of the project, our sales staff can assist with design, budgeting, and value engineering to ensure your precast project is designed correctly and within budget.

Molin assists in developing the overall construction schedule based on key precast milestones, including submittal for approval, mockup approval, release to plant, shipping, and erection dates, all meticulously tracked and managed.

Our team can assist with:

identify solutions for project appearance and constructability
developing schedules and budgets
determining the best precast panelization and connection scheme for your project
precast concrete engineering plans
Revit / Detailling / BIM
