Faster Construction Method for High-Rise Buildings
High-Rise Construction
High-rise buildings are vital in satisfying the need for increased urban density and can help to offset high land costs. However, conventional high-rise development has significant challenges.
Tower cranes and fall hazards result in significant safety risks to construction workers and the public.
Build sequences require in-place assembly resulting in lengthy construction schedules.
Costs rise exponentially with building height.
URBAN REDWOOD Buildings
URBAN REDWOOD uses innovative design and proprietary details, together with technology adapted from other industries, to enable mid-rise and high-rise buildings to be built faster, at lower cost, and with greater safety to both the construction workforce and the public.
URBAN REDWOOD offers proven construction technology that reduces exposure to safety risks by carrying out most activities at street level. This eliminates the need for tower cranes and provides significant time and cost savings for structures of 8 to 60+ stories, and is ideal for commercial office, multi-family residential, hotel, medical in-patient, and mixed-use buildings.
URBAN REDWOOD buildings offer one of the safest multi-story structural systems available today. This gravity structure simulates a large redwood tree, where the concrete core acts like a massive trunk and the roof and floors cantilever like branches.
URBAN REDWOOD enables reductions in overall construction duration through use of translational technologies, labor efficiencies, and closely monitored material management systems. Most URBAN REDWOOD projects should achieve a 30 to 50% reduction in schedule.
