NRMCA has launched a course titled Advantages of Concrete in Low- to Mid-rise Multifamily for Hanley Wood University. Look around and you’ll see many 5- to 7-story residential projects being built today with one or two floors of concrete, supporting up to 5 floors of steel or wood frame. These “pedestal” projects are assumed to be the cheapest way to build while longer term ownership implications of these designs are not well understood. This 1-hour presentation dispels the myths that are driving the popularity of pedestal construction and demonstrates the ownership value concrete provides, including lower operating costs, less maintenance and improved tenant retention.
