A precast concrete panel is: A panel, tile, counter, Fin, wall etc that is usually poured in a controlled manufacturing facility (although it can be poured on site) into a mold of a specific shape. Whether it is mass produced or a custom shape the precast panel is usually finished (sealed) before installation (although, again this also can be done on site). There are 2 ways to istall concrete products: Pour on site or precast and install. There are many pros and cons for each process. Which method to use depends on what the customer/architect/designer/engineer is trying to accomplish.

SteveThe cost of a precast concrete panel depends on the following-
Grade and volume of concrete
Amount and type of reinforcement including perimeter bar, corner bars, and mesh. The reinforcement can be central, or each face, (each face being both sides inside the panel therefore double the cost)
Number and type of cast in items, such as ferrules, grout tubes, cast in plates and lifters
Manufacture labour rates
Drafting costs
Finally on site costs, including packers dowel bars and stitch plates
Unlike concrete that is poured on-site, high-quality precast concrete is produced in a controlled factory environment using advanced manufacturing techniques.
Reinforcement is placed into reuseable and adjustable moulds, and concrete is poured, vibrated and cured. If specified, architectural finishes (such as honing, polishing or staining) may then be applied while still in the factory. The finished precast elements are then transported to the site and then craned into position.
Precast concrete is a highly versatile product available in a vast range of different sizes, shapes, and cove concrete finish. Precast products are used in a variety of applications, including buildings, civil construction, raft slab, and landscaping.
