Brent McKay | The Works – Elsdon Business Park

"As the Project Manager for The Works – Elsdon Business Park, a large-scale commercial development in Porirua, I had the pleasure of working with Rapid Slabs & Precast, who were engaged to deliver all foundations, floor slabs, and the supply and installation of 660 precast concrete wall panels across a 5,640m² floor area.

From the outset, Rapid Slabs & Precast approached the project with a high level of professionalism, efficiency, and attention to detail. Their commitment to safety, programme, and quality was evident throughout the entire process. Despite the scale and complexity of the work, the Rapid Slabs team delivered with confidence and precision, always maintaining clear communication and a collaborative approach on site.

I’m genuinely grateful for the standard of workmanship and the positive attitude they brought to the project. Their contribution was critical to the success of this significant development, and I would not hesitate to work with them again or recommend their services to others in the construction industry."

Todd Hunter | Homeowner

"From the first point of contact and telephone call, to our site meetings, through to all processes of boxing and slab prep, the pour and follow up work, I had nothing but a first-class experience.

Great communication, fantastic work ethic and commitment to completing the task for us”.

Concrete naturally shrinks as it dries, which can lead to some surface cracking. This is a normal part of the curing process and does not affect structural integrity.

A precast panel is a large concrete panel manufactured off-site in a controlled environment, then transported and installed on-site. They are commonly used for walls, floors, and structural components in both residential and commercial construction.

Benefits of Precast Panels:

Faster Construction – Built off-site to reduce on-site delays.
High Quality & Precision – Manufactured in controlled conditions for consistent results.
Durable & Long-Lasting – Stronger than traditional on-site poured concrete.
Cost-Effective – Reduces on-site labour and material waste.
Customizable – Available in different sizes, shapes, and finishes to suit project needs.

Panels (load-bearing and non-load-bearing)
