How We Build Precast Concrete Homes
1
Operations Year-Round
We precast insulated concrete panels for walls and roofs in our indoor facility year-round.
2
Project Kick-Off
We offer a choice of floor plans, or we can adapt yours to use our concrete panels. Our precast concrete modules can speed construction of multi-unit developments.
3
Ground-Breaking
After building a concrete foundation on your site, we deliver the pre-fabricated concrete panels to construct the shell of the home.
4
Move-In
In the final weeks, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and insulation are completed along with fixtures and finishes.
Move-in can be within 60 days from kick-off.
Our Precast Concrete Homes
We currently have several one story floor plans available ranging from 600 square feet to 2600 square feet.
Our "Building Blocks":
Precast Insulated Concrete Panels
We build modular homes with the most common construction material in the world -- concrete.
> Precast in Factory
>Concrete panels and modules, or "building blocks"
> Suitable for Homes of Any Size
>From 500sf and up
> Quality Control Begins in the Factory
>Exceeds typical construction standards
> Quicker Construction than Wood Frame
>Constructed on-site in less than 60 days
Instead of wood framing, we use insulated precast concrete panels.
Why Concrete is Better than Wood
Let's face it--nature sometimes produces disasters. You want the ability to withstand or repair the damage.
We believe that the right home in the Southeast Texas climate is a fortified home. . . an Ecocast Home!
Concrete homes can withstand damaging winds and flying debris better than wood frame homes.
Resistant to Hurricanes and High Winds
Concrete does not burn, unlike the wood frame in traditional home construction.
Resistant to Fire
Concrete is a barrier to rain and flood water, while wood absorbs water and deteriorates.
Resistant to Floods and Water Damage
Concrete is not organic, so pests like termites, mold, and dry rot fungi are not problems.

10 Reasons to Choose an
Ecocast Precast Concrete Home
1
A Better Value
Beautiful and a great value with many advantages over wood-frame construction.
2
More Durable
Concrete structures are more durable than wood, resist deterioration, and require less maintenance--think "Roman Colosseum" or "Hoover Dam". Unlike wood, there is no worry about dry rot or pest infestation.
3
Faster Construction
We use a quality-controlled factory process to build your walls and ceiling (with steel-reinforced concrete panels) that exceeds typical construction standards, then we assemble your home onsite. Your entire home can be move-in ready in about 60 days, with only an average of two weeks disruption to your community for onsite construction.
4
Excellent Sound Barrier
A precast concrete home is quieter than a wood-frame home providing more privacy within the home and added buffering from external noises.
5
A Safer Choice During A Disaster
Unlike wood frame construction, concrete homes are resistant to high winds, up to F5 hurricanes, floods, and fire.
6
Rock Solid Home "Shell"
Walls and ceilings with cut-outs for windows and doors are built with our precast steel-reinforced concrete panels. The home is a built upon the foundation and becomes a rock solid "shell".
7
Personalized Styles Available
Customizable with exterior styles and interior finish options
8
Naturally Energy-Efficient
Concrete homes are cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter. So, heating and cooling costs should be lower and smaller HVAC systems could be used, making it a better choice for coastal climates.
9
Locally Sourced Environmentally-Friendly Construction
The concrete we use is locally produced with natural and recyclable materials.
10
TDHCA Code Compliant
Ecocast Homes meets or exceeds the construction standards required by the Texas Department of Housing.
