Architecture is at the root of everything we do at Fabcon. Our precast concrete wall panels, columns, and blocks are used in residential, commercial, and industrial projects across the country, from huge movie theaters to modest municipal buildings to backyard retaining walls. We’ve worked with hundreds of architecture firms and talented contractors, and we appreciate all of the careful planning and design that goes into a construction project.
If you’re visiting the Fabcon website, you probably know a thing or two about architecture. But do you know the difference between a colonnade and colonnette? Can you differentiate between an oriel and a Palladian window?
