Modular Mountain Retreat Project


Advantages of a Precast Foundation System Video

Chris Vila joins Superior Walls’ Mel Zimmerman to talk about a few of the benefits of a factory-built foundation system. Constructed in a controlled environment, the foundation walls can be delivered to the site and installed in a single day. The panels have provisions for wiring and plumbing systems, and even have pressure-treated lumber furring strips attached to the concrete to facilitate the easy installation of drywall. The cost of a factory built foundation system is comparable to a traditional foundation, according to Zimmerman.
