Concrete
Concrete is chemistry, and it is more than a pour-and-dry process. A combination of cement, gravel, sand, and water, as well as various admixtures, rebar, and more depending on the need, concrete can be art, foundation, and everything in between—and it takes seasoned experts to handle it well.
Eckman Construction is a full-service firm with dedicated crews and professional who do concrete from start to finish and do it well. Our self-performed services make our work thorough, efficient, and secure.
SELF-PERFORMED
Eckman Construction can provide a significant advantage through our self-performance capabilities in concrete work. We have successfully executed numerous concrete projects of various requirements, from slab-on-grade construction and retaining walls, to tilt-up paneling and more, showcasing our proficiency in delivering high-quality concrete work. Through self-performing, Eckman can ensure:
QUALITY CONTROL: Having a dedicated concrete crew allows for stricter quality control over materials, placement, and finishing. This is crucial for long-term durability and performance of the structures.
SCHEDULE EFFICIENCY: Self-performing concrete eliminates the need to coordinate with a separate subcontractor, streamlining the construction schedule and reducing potential delays.
COST-EFFECTIVENESS: While dependent on project specifics, self-performing concrete can offer cost savings by eliminating subcontractor markups.
We go above and beyond our competitors because of our self-performing service, offering convenience, safety, and long-term success. We attribute our success to having a proactive approach, where we may anticipate and resolve potential project issues.
Tilt Up
Tilt up construction is our most popular method of building and is often requested when owners are looking for a superior commercial building method, with fast and easy completion time. Prepare to be amazed by the efficiency and exceptional quality of our concrete structures built right before your eyes in a cost-effective fashion. We use the latest technology with a laser screed for the flooring to ensure it is completely level.
We offer a wide range of self-performed services in concrete, such as Foundation & Footings, Slab-on-Grade, Curb & Gutter, Flat Work, Tilt Panels, Colored Concrete, and Concrete Cutting.
How does Tilt Up compare to Masonry buildings? This is a common question with some important factors to consider.
- Size does matter. If the project is less than 6000 square feet, the limited floor space may not accommodate the casting panels used for tilt up, but for projects larger than 6000 sf tilt up is a great economical option.
- Resources availability. Tilt up construction is quite popular in Utah and surrounding states. Our Eckman team ensures the proper cranes, expert crews, and required machinery are available to meet the needs of each and every project we take on.
- Height clearance. If your project has high walls where masonry would call for more bracing or larger sized blocks, tilt up is ideal for cost-saving purposes.
- Smooth Finish. Since a concrete wall is more dense and less porous than masonry, the finished product will seal better and will have a cleaner overall look and feel.
- Speed & Efficiency. Bottom line is tilt up is much faster than masonry. When you have a project you are planning for, the sooner you can get to the finished product, the better.
