AAC Jobsite Consulting Services

 

Aerblock has been involved with all phases of AAC technology since 2001, and is able to provide jobsite consulting services as well as additional oversight during the course of AAC wall construction. AerBlock will inspect the AAC work, answer builders questions and suggest tips and techniques to streamline shell construction. This service is highly recommended as it can help keep an AAC project moving smoothly. By scheduled meetings at the jobsite, (bi-weekly, weekly, bimonthly, etc.) we can go over AAC architectural details and building concerns as well as discuss methods that can help the crew expedite their construction process.
