  • Easier to attach waterproofing
  • No prep solvents
  • Eliminates waiting for sub to return
  • Fewer chances of leaks
• Eliminates follow on steps with framing and insulation subcontractors
• Faster start above grade - sill plate can be attached day after pour instead of waiting on form stripping
• Greater flexibility with poor weather and job site conditions
  • Can be placed in rain
  • Possible to work on muddy sites
  • Wall insulation permits cold weather installation and concrete placement
• Subs do not have to wait for availability of forms, skilled crews, etc.
