Durable housing construction costs too high

Conventional construction takes too long

Skilled workers are hard to come byTHE WAFFLE-CRETE BUILDING SYSTEM

ADDRESSES ALL OF THESE ISSUES!

The Waffle-Crete Advantage

04/12/2023Waffle-Crete International, Inc.

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)

The Waffle-Crete Advantage9

At the heart of the Waffle-Crete Building

System

04/12/2023Waffle-Crete International, Inc.

Insulated Waffle-Crete Mold

Insulated Waffle-Crete Curing Cover

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

Page 10: Introduction to the Waffle-Crete Precast Concrete Building System

Unparalleled Construction Speed

04/12/2023Waffle-Crete International, Inc.

10

Wall, floor and roof panels can be cast while the building site is prepared.

At a central casting facility Or Directly on the Job Site

The vertical ribs act like columns

Page 13: Introduction to the Waffle-Crete Precast Concrete Building System

The Strength Is In the Ribs!

The horizontal ribs act like beams

Page 14: Introduction to the Waffle-Crete Precast Concrete Building System

The Strength Is In the Ribs!

04/12/2023Waffle-Crete International, Inc.

14

Up to 60% of the concrete and steel is eliminated between the ribs.

60% Less Material Without Loss of Strength

04/12/2023Waffle-Crete International, Inc.

“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.”

Chester MillerAlfred Miller Contracting

First Waffle-Crete Project in the Marshall Islands

Completed Well Ahead of Schedule and Under Budget

Waffle-Crete International, Inc.

PII chose Waffle-Crete

because it makes

concrete construction on

the islands faster and

more affordable.

PII erected its first

Waffle-Crete building (a

24-unit, 3-story

apartment complex) in a

record six days.
