AAS Advantage for Masons, Contractors, Builders
Advanced Architectural Stone (AAS) is able to source all the required stone for a project combining three product materials – dry vibrant-tamp cast stone, wet-pour architectural precast concrete, and architectural GFRC (Glass Fiber Reinforced Concrete). This creates a significant competitive advantage for customers while bidding jobs.
The AAS team has the bandwidth and a very well thought out support system to work closely with customers in every phase of the project – design review and assist using CAD drawings, engineering connection details to hang stone pieces, project-specific custom design and manufacturing of stone products, construction planning support, installation training, onsite troubleshooting, etc.
SUPPORT SYSTEM FOR CUSTOMERS
- AAS can give the mason detailed take-off or estimate of the cast stone, precast or GFRC, matching architect’s original plans.
- The AAS team is able to confirm design feasibility using thorough review of CAD drawings: design-assist, construction assist.
- The AAS team provides detailed guidelines and support to customers about how to attach stone panels to the structure.
- The AAS team provides a detailed settings plan that identifies the placement of every single stone piece used in the project. AAS uses a fully automated system that helps customers track individual stone panels.
