The document provides an overview of the Waffle-Crete building system, which uses precast concrete panels to enable faster, more affordable, and disaster-resistant construction. The Waffle-Crete system addresses global housing needs by reducing costs, construction time, and labor requirements compared to conventional construction methods. It has been used to build various structure types in over 30 countries and can help meet the growing demand for safe, durable housing worldwide.

8. The Waffle-Crete Advantage
8
 When compared to conventional brick & block construction,
the Waffle-Crete precast concrete building system will:
 Reduce material & labor costs
 Slash construction time
 Eliminate the need for skilled labor
 Very low life cycle cost (low ongoing maintenance)

Crete Mold
 Waffle-Crete molds are
lightweight and portable
 Concrete panels can be cast
right on the job site
 Panels can be cast one day
and erected the next

14. The Strength Is In the Ribs!
14
Up to 60% of the concrete and steel is
eliminated between the ribs.
Waffle-Crete International, Inc. 12/1/2011

15. 60% Less Material Without Loss of Strength
15
“Waffle-Crete panels retain
the design strengths of
traditional precast panels, yet
are 60% lighter than standard
panels of the same thickness.”
Stephen Andrews
Certified Structural Engineer
Waffle-Crete International, Inc. 12/1/2011

16. Waffle-Crete Weathered Hurricane Katrina
16
“We have used your molds for over
ten years and built large grocery
stores, multi story office buildings
and small storage buildings with
your concrete bolt together system.
“We built multiple buildings in New
Orleans, which went through
hurricane Katrina. None of the
buildings suffered major damage.
There was no wind damage to any of
our buildings in that incident.”
