What is the "Precast Division"?

bullet

The Precast Division of Area Erectors has been in existence for 19 years.  This division specializes in installation of precast concrete panels for many different applications.  Uses for this product are as limitless as the imagination, however Area Erectors focuses its efforts to structural and architectural applications such as parking decks, warehouses, hotels, office buildings, and many others with similar attributes. 

How many people are involved with this division?

bullet

This division has 11 foreman and employs approximately 30 additional regular employees to work in the field and make sure that Area jobs are erected as well as possible.  In the office, Area employs one office manager, three estimators/project managers, and one field superintendent to keep all the jobs running smoothly.  The precast division works very closely with all the other divisions whenever possible to incorporate field employees and improve efficiency on the jobs for all the divisions, so the actual number of active employees at any given time varies greatly.

What area does the Precast Division cover?

bullet

Since this division is the only one to erect precast in the company, its territory is limited only by the adaptability of its employees.  The typical range of jobs is from as far south as Bloomington, IL to an approximate northern boundary of Madison, WI where it works with the Milwaukee/Wisconsin division.  The eastern limit is about the Indiana border and Area goes as far west as just inside the state line of Iowa.  Area has made some exceptions to this for various reasons, but this range is pretty much the limit to its employees' traveling ability.

Who are the primary customers of Area's Precast Division?

bullet

In order to limit the amount of confusion and maintain good relationships, the precast division works almost exclusively for precast fabricators directly.  While certain conditions or situations of a job may require a different approach, Area has found working directly for fabricators, as a subcontractor of a subcontractor, to be the most accommodating and efficient way of contracting jobs.

What kind of experience does Area Erectors have in this type of construction?

bullet

Over the past 19 years, Area's Precast Division has come across just about every type of precast job out there.  Area prides itself in its ability to erect a very difficult job in a safe, efficient, and timely manner.  Even more important, however, is Area's ability to use its experience and knowledge to make more typical jobs run quickly, without incident, and with precise accuracy.  Pictures and descriptions of a few of Area's more recent jobs are available by clicking the link toward the top of the page on the left.
