Builder's Testimonial: "This was our first experience with Girder-Slab. We have built numerous hotels in the Eastern Tenessee area and found that the Girder-Slab System allowed us to maintain maximum speed towards topping out our building. Five weeks after the first steel column was set we were setting the last piece of precast on the sixth floor roof. We were very pleased at the ease and speed of your system, and would recommend it to anyone." - Alex Davis D&S Builders
