Action note: In: Summary: ABSTRACT: This study aims to evaluate the precast wall system in the construction of the Columns Tower II Project. It differentiates the system in the conventional cast-in-place method of erecting reinforced concrete walls, known as RC Walls, in building. It also quantifies the differences of the two system based on time, cost and quality. The researcher gathered data set from the preparation of shop drawings to installation at site. It then observed on how the new system performs using the reinforced cast-in place wall as baseline. Finally, to validate the result the researcher used statistical tools on the analysis of the two systems given the three parameters. The study concludes in the construction of the Columns Tower II project that the precast wall system is faster than the RC Wall system based on the overall schedule and in man-hour installation. Moreover, the manufacturing off site is under controlled factory conditions which make the precast wall superior in quality. In terms of cost, precast wall system has a higher actual cost since the following components are not present in the RC wall system; delivery from yard to site, sealant works, and grouting works. The researcher recommends that further study must be conducted up to completion of the structure to observe the impact of the precast wall system to the other phase of works such as electro-mechanical and architectural finishes.
