Australian Precast Concrete Industry
 
The Australian precast concrete industry is comprised of manufacturers of precast concrete products.  Manufacturing is undertaken in specially-equipped factories, which are established in permanent locations. Finished products are transported to site, ready for installation.

Suppliers of precast concrete are widely distributed throughout Australia, meeting the needs of the building and construction industry with a breathtaking portfolio of products ranging from the sophistication of polished reconstructed granite architectural facades to the practical functionality of stormwater drainage pits.

The broad range of precast can be categorised into five classifications by product type or application.
