Here is a sneak peak to what’s in works for Valhalla Village – a new mixed-use community designed by BDP Quadrangle for KingSett Capital. This project will feature affordable housing designed to be zero carbon ready that will use an all pre-cast structure and façade. We recently visited the Modular Precast Systems(MPS) factory to review the modular precast mockup. The project will incorporate modular construction, including floors, structure (beams and columns), and an envelope with preinstalled windows. This total precast solution will significantly reduce on-site construction time and assist us in meeting our sustainability targets. Want to learn more about the project?
