Ribbed and waffle slabs provide a lighter and stiffer slab than an equivalent flat slab, reducing the amount of concrete needed.

The versatility of concrete means that it can be designed and constructed to deliver high performance buildings through a spectrum of solutions ranging from onsite cast concrete, onsite build using factory made blocks, through to offsite manufactured two dimensional panels and volumetric units. When considering offsite solutions there are additional benefits offered by the use of precast concrete for offsite construction compared to other systems.

Good design can provide more efficient facilities and a better environment for both staff and students. As well as providing the structural frame, concrete can be used to improve the overall performance of the building.

Tilt-up construction involves site-casting the concrete walls of a building on its floor slab or on a separate casting bed and then tilting and lifting them into position by crane.
