Precast/CIP Parking Comparison** Precast Parking CIP Parking

A precast contractor's guide to parking structures

This article may be useful to us for qualitative advantages of CIP =**WE MUST COMPLETE THESE FIVE MODELS, 3D, 4D, OUR LOGISTICS PLAN, TWO BEAM AHEAD FOR A SINGLE POUR ST, TWO ,3 AND 4 FORMSET SCALE AND PRICING FOR EACH**= June 19, 2009

1 PRICING AGAINST PRECAST HEAD TO HEAD DOLLARS PER SPACE OF PRECAST VERSUS DOLLARS PER SPACE OF CIP

2 PRICING AGAINST PRECAST CONSIDERING MECHANICAL AND OTHER CONSTRUCTION COST SUCH AS EARTHWORK MULTI STAGING, WELDING AND CAULKING

3 CASH FLOW ANALYSIS, TIME VALUE OF MONEY ABOUT 50%THE MONEY FOR THE PRECAST MUST BE COMMITTED 3-6-MONTHS AHEAD THE START OF CONSTRUCTION

4 LOWER ENGINEERING COST AND LEAD TIME

5 LIFE CYCLE COST

6 REDUCED RISK DUE TO THE POSSIBILITY OF THE DEAL NOT BEING FINANCED OR APPROVED (THIS CAN BE PRICED)

7 SOPISHTICATED BUYERS OF THE PROPERTY WHEN IT SELLS RECOGNIZE THE DIFFERENCE IN THE COST OF PRECAST AND ARE OFTEN WILLING TO PAY MORE.

8 THERE PROBABLY IS A DIFFERENCE IN BUILDERS RISK INSURANCE. THEY HAVE HAD TO PAY OUT MORE CLAIMS ON PRECAST THAN CIP FAILURES

9 PROPERLY PLANED WHERE WE BUILD JUST ENOUGH OF THE CIP GARAGE TO REMOVE IT FROM THE CRITICAL PATH THE DEVELOPER CAN SAVE 90 -190 DAYS OF CONSTRUCTION FINANCING WHICH GENERALLY IS AT A HIGHER INTEREST RATE

10 THE GENERAL CONTRACTOR CAN SAVE HIS GENERAL CONDITIONS FOR THE SAME90-180 DAYS

11 THE SUBCONTRACTORS HAVE SHORTER AND MORE PREDICTABLE GENERAL CONDITIONS AND HIGHER PRODUCTION RATES WHICH GIVES THE GENERAL CONTRACTOR THE A BILIY

12 THE DEVELOPER HAS THE OPPORTUNITY TO PICK UP ANY WHERE FROM 60 TO 180 ADDITIONAL DAYS OF RENTAIL INCOME. TYPICAL PROJECT SIZE IS 300 UNITS, TYPICAL UNIT SIZE IS 1200 SQUARE FEET. TYPICAL SF RENTAL RATE IS 1.50 $ PER MONTH

13 CIP IS MORE FLEXIBLE OTHER DESIGN CONSTRAINTS WOULD MAKE A PRECAST DESIGN EITHER VERY EXPENSIVE OR NOT FEASIBLE AT ALL

14 THE WEIGHT OF THE CIP IS GENERALLY, BUT GENERALLY NOT TOO SIGNIFICANT WE MUST B ABLE TO MAKE THESE PRESENTATION ON THE FIVE PROJECTS BY THE END OF THE UPCOMING WEEK, WHATEVER HOURS NEED TO BE PUT, THE WILL HAVE BE PUT IN, PLEASE HELP US GET THIS DONE, THANK YOU IN ADVANCE FOR THE EXTRAORDINART EFFORT THIS WILL TAKE. fortunately I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO DELAY PRESENTATION TO FOULGER AND PRATT TO THE MIDDLE OR THE END OF THE FOLLOWING WEEK, THEY HAVE

David's email on Tuesday 6/16/09

We need the following ten things this week in order to pursue, and be awarded 30-50 million dollars of concrete work centered around Cast in Place parking garages' built as part of high density apartment complexes

OUR GOAL IS TO BE THE LEADER IN PRODUCING PARKING GARAGES AS THEY RELATE TO THE MULTIFAMILY BUSINESS WE WILL BUILD BETWEEN 5000 AND 10,000 PARKING SPACES PER YEAR PLUS THE BUILDING SOG AND PODIUMS ON 20- 40 PROJECTS A YEAR WITHIN THE NEXT FIVE YEARS WE WILL BUILD BETWEEN 3000 AND 5000PARKING SPACES WITHIN THE NEXT YEAR,

From David Sanchez

1 BEAMS A system o building up 50 foot beam sections where six beams are left stacked on the tractor trailer beds, stay on the trailer between jobs, when they arrive at the job they come directly off the truck using a rented mobile crane and go onto the garage slab on grade ready to set the deck panels on.We will need about 42 beams set up for 18 foot bay spacing, and 8 beams set up 27 foot spacing.We will need to change the frame system to larger folding headers which will reduce the span of the panels so they will not have to be center shored excepted on the 27 foot spacing. The legs should be Peri or equivalent with the tripos type supports. Beams should be set to use up to 100 times with a small repair allowance set into each reuse.Beams size should be checked against our drawings I believe they are an average of 16 by 24 inches.

2 COLUMNS The columns should be 2 foot steeply set up and cost ed to be used 25 times with a 2% repair cost built into each use. If possible the columns should be designed to include heights of two floors with the column capitals built in for both floorsThe column hardware should be designed to remain attached ed so that the entire column can be moved as a single unit including the safety system..A small piece of equipment such as a bobcat with a boom, a small forklift, or other piece of industrial equipment should be selected to move the column and spandrels panel system, stair or elevator wall system THE AFTERNOON OR FOLLOWING MORNING AFTER THE DECK POUR..The columns should be able to fit 20-40 columns on each truck and set up in such a way that they can be moved directly from the truck to the footing or slab.

3 DECK PANELS We need to trade many of our 25 foot six and a half aluminum beams for 15 foot aluminum beams or EFFCO type triangle type beams, We should setup the deck panels for up to 75 uses considering 3.4,1,and 1,1/4 thick plywood with a plan to reface the panels each 25 uses with 1/8 overlay HDO We should plan to move 45 or so 15 foot panels on a truck, We should be able to move 20-40 of the25 foot panels on each truck. These as with the beams and columns should be able to be set directly from the truck and onto the beams when then are move from one job to a another job or from the yard

4 Schedules The Stair and column elevator and spandrels system should be poured the afternoon of the day of the deck pour like we did in Florida A schedule should be developed showing the beam a head method used by Morley, ( the people we visited in California prior to the construction of the North Hills and Camp Springs jobs) Another schedule showing the two and three complete pour system should be developed as well.. All three schedules should be priced out separately.. Again the columns spandrels and stairs should be designed and supplied by Symon's, in such a way that they can be poured the afternoon of the deck pour

5 I asked David Sanchez to purchase all the parts we will need but do highly mobile, minimum buildup and rebuild 500-100 spaces system specialized to build high density apartment complexes. I asked him to review our existing inventory and on a commission basis of adding 2-5% TO TH E BEST COST HE CAN GET purchase the system pieces for us. HE KNOWS THE FORM WORK MARKET AND SHOULD HELP US TO GET VERY GOOD PRICING CONSIDERING THE STATE of the form work market. THIS IS NOT THE SORT OF DEAL I WOULD WANT TO ENTER INTO WITH VERY MANY PEOPLE, HOWEVER OVER THE LAST EIGHT YEARS HE HAS PROVEN HIMSELF TO BE ONE THE MORE HONORABLE PEOPLE I HAVE WORKED WITH IN THE CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY.

6 REINFORCEMENT Installation of the PT and steel should be subcontracted out or at leas priced in comparison on self performing the reinforcement. Is so much as possible all steel should be pretied and designed to roll up on a trolley system similar to the one used to roll the beams forward.Weights of steel and cable based on the building code that these projects will be built on should be OBTAINED FROM FROM OTTO.Also we will need approximate footing sizes, steel weights from Otto for 3000,4000,5000, and 10,000pound soil bearing capacities. ( note this can also be found in a limited fashion in the Means Concrete and Masonry reference tables ) 7 $ D PROTOTYPE MODELS of the two ARCH STONE,THE JPI KING OF PRUSSIA, and, FOULGER PRATT PROJECTS SHOULD BE DEVELOPED EMPHASIZING THAT THE CIP GARAGE SYSTEM WILL SAVE 90-180 DAYS OF OF OVERALL CONSTRUCTION TIME DUE TO THE REDUCED SITE AREA DEMANDS OF THE CIP SYSTEM, THE FACT THAT WE CAN GET THE FRAMING STARTED MUCH SOONER AND THAT THE OVERALL PROJECT CRITICAL PATH IS DRAMATICALLY CHANGED.TO ALLOW CONSTRUCTION OF THE UNITS TO BEGIN MUCH SOONER We will need a financial model run on these shorten construction times versus the normal supposed cost difference in the CIP Versus precast, cost savings. We did several models for JPI and Fairfield and perhaps other customers in I 2006-6-7 I believe.. If would be helpful if some one could locate these models

8 We need to review the total cost as best we can of the three CIP garages that we did. The information in the Means concrete and masonry data reference tables, These need to be adjusted for inflation, job size and

9 We need to find out what the yardage and per space cost for the foundations for the past fifteen Precast foundation job were. These need to be adjusted for inflation. Also they need to be taken off for the new metrics relational quantities, form work production and other reference materials included in the Means concrete and masonry reference materials and master format

10 Items 8 and 9 both need to be run through the new estimate and city, open shop Means system Jooghoon you may need to contact someone at Means to help you correctly do this.

11 Lee you need to go on the government sites and get the public information on the last twenty Precast and the lat twenty CIP garages and get the cost breakdown. What are the airports, metro railway, etc paying for these perking garages?

12 I offered to put the cost of the garage in as development mezzanine capital In the JPI deal, This could give us a huge tax advantage, help get the deals done, help us the best shot at the deal, Ask anyone that is building or pricing these deals if they are interested in us as an equity source and if they are have them contact me at any of my phone numbers. If it seems to make sense i will have them forward a financial package to send Lee MacaRath our CFO. and to deal proforma and package. Lee I think this would be a good project for, Rebbecca, Kopin and possibly Steve. We should have a much better understanding of the way the financial aspect of the residential housing works. The Urban land institute here in Georgetown have several pertinent publications.

Basically if we combine the best features of several best of practice contractors, MILLER and LONG, Morley, Baker,, best of practice vender's such as Andy Filack, Effco, Symon's and Peri, adapt these solutions to the high density condo apartment market, complete our estimating, production control reporting daily reporting system in concrete relying heavily on David Sanchez Our Stanford relationship .and Otto Swartz we will survive this construction depression and prepare to prosper in a manner rarely seen in the constriction or any other industry.. We will be able to create lower cost housing, reduce waste and therefore create a more sustainable, environmentally aware. world in our small way, while improving the job satisfaction of ourselves and our employees.This is what I have tried to do for a long time, many failures many successes, but i never ,never quit.. I think the best really is yet to come.for Accu - Crete and the construction industry Please everyone study the garages, Precast foundations. CIP we have built, garage systems ( SYMON'S, EFFCO, ANDY FIlack,sytems Tom morrow will be spent as a all day feild trip focusing on Garages, The Ronald Regan airport garage, Canp Spring s CIP we built ,. Wodd partners Camp Sprins precast, the Camp springs metro garage, The Miller and Long Yard and our Yardd, plus the Summerfeid Garage If there is a arch stone garage along the way we will try to get in on it as well. We will leave the office at eight, bring notepads, cameras hardhats, boots.It is going to be a great day.

=Meeting in San Antonio= June 22, 2008 Goals:
 * 1) Difference in cost of CIP and Precast foundation SF, CY and spaces – Walter, Dan,per Otto would not necessarily expect any significant difference. Debatable at the least.
 * 2) Difference in cost of CIP and Precast and superstructure. In SF, CY and spaces - Jack
 * 3) Percentage of mechanical of precast – Edmundo
 * 4) Percentage of mechanical in cast in place - Edmundo
 * 5) Form set for and beam handling system per cycle for columns, beams, deck, spandrel, stairs, shear walls – Adam, Martin – schedule, crew, equip/ Sarah, Supriya – cycle, quantity take off.
 * 6) SOG, pump plan, crane plan - Patrick.
 * 7) Column forms for 2 stories.
 * 8) Foundation walls. – Walter, Prashant
 * 9) Exterior walls. Some may be block or poured if it is fire rated.
 * 10) Plan for leaving the beams built up. – David Sanchez
 * 11) Compare cost between tji, alum beams at triangle beams. – David Sanchez
 * 12) Plywood type and costs.
 * 13) Beams look at 2 or 3 different support systems. Symons heavy or peri – David Sanchez
 * 14) Need to know the cost to build each system for material or labor. Figure 2% repair after each cycle. - Jack
 * 15) Cure and protection plan
 * 16) Finishing, subcontract or in house.
 * 17) Finishing the actual look
 * 18) Beam cost to make up, material required – Sarah, Supriya.
 * 19) Wood posts for reshore or peri or other form of reshore. That is faster and cheaper.
 * 20) Compactors systems and proposals. Vendors and concrete contractors.
 * 21) Spandrel panels look at pouring the same day of pour (granger book)
 * 22) Look at different lifting systems for column forms and spandrel panels.
 * 23) Look at tie system for walls, columns, spandrels.
 * 24) Look at spandrel design for forms. - Patrick
 * 25) 2 story columns with double column caps.
 * 26) Try and pour all the elements same day. Walls columns stairs.
 * 27) Need to consider parametric plan for cip garages.
 * 28) Pro relational ratio’s for each element. Slab, column, walls beams etc -
 * 29) Prove and to show that a cip garage can be built and taken out of the critical path
 * 30) Up front cost for doing precast. Commitment - Steve
 * 31) Model in 4d/5d how a cast in place can save developer money – Bronson, Adam, Martin
 * 32) Come up with counter brochure for cip. Show amount of collapse, amount of settlement – Friday all together
 * 33) Life cycle cost and maintenance cost of precast to cip. - Koupin
 * 34) Depends on how long owner plans to keep garage . Over 5 years in CIP's favor.
 * 35) Need financial model for apartment project. Land, concessions. Permit fee’s hard cost, indirect cost. Cost of borrowing money. Tax implications. – Steve, Koupin
 * 36) Seismic and soils considerations.
 * 37) Barrier column system. Thru columns or on steel plates.
 * 38) Trolley system for moving the materials from the SOG to the upper decks in lieu of using a crane. - Patrick
 * 39) Miller and long, Baker, Morely


 * Notes from David:**
 * Precast $18 to $19 Elev SF. Need to include CIP foundation. Speed ramps cost more money. Sloped ramps on each side is more effective.
 * CMU block walls $14 sf in Washington DC, cost $11.50 per sf in Atlanta.
 * Barrier cables cost $1.75 per LF each. For 11 cable rail figure $20 lf. $100 per post 20 to 30 foot centers
 * Metal stairs are cheaper-figure $4,000 per flight
 * Add $200 per space for caulk.

=Precast Components=

June 26, 2009

The column footing and volume can be precast and set with a MLI crane in a concrete mud sill. This would save a lot of time and money. Same for T-shaped precast wall section that could later be connected with PT coils or cables. These precast wall sections were used to build the Berlin Wall. I want to set a goal of cutting the on-site construction schedule and cost. I suspect that the strategic use of a combination of CIP and precast with very efficient forming systems efficient engineering using repetitive simple details combined with a very good estimating, daily reporting, standard operating procedure with clear believable dashboards designed with a financial, social and personal reward system and we WILL be the best concrete company in the country. We all gave our roles to play, sorry to let you guys down this week, I am proud of the way you all worked together and helped us get off to the best intern program ever. Process improvement NEVER ends.

David
