Eleven scopes, including the glass fiber panels.

The Rains Center package spanned eleven scopes, from framing and fireproofing through GFRG, glass fiber concrete panels, FRP, and air barriers.

The glass fiber concrete panels were a feature of the project, and Caston provided them as part of the same contract that built the walls they attach to.

How Caston Built It

The approach that kept the date

  • The panels came from Caston

    The glass fiber concrete panels were provided by Caston, coordinated with the framing, air barriers, and finishes around them.

  • GFRG in house

    Glass fiber reinforced gypsum work was self-performed alongside the plaster scopes it relates to.

  • Eleven scopes, one contract

    Framing, fireproofing, carpentry, plaster, GFRG, panels, scaffolding, insulation, drywall, air barriers, and FRP all ran through one team.

  • One accountable partner

    The campus dealt with a single contractor across a package that would normally fragment across several.
