01 / Our capabilities
Concrete possibilities.
Practical solutions.
Start with what the project needs to accomplish. We bring 3D printing and established concrete methods together to determine a workable path from an idea to a finished structure or product.
Residential, Commercial & Storage
Concrete solutions for custom homes, commercial buildings, storage buildings, and accessory structures. Printed elements can be coordinated with conventional foundations, framing, roofing, and building systems.
Marine & Coastal Solutions
Offshore reef scanning and replacement concepts, artificial reef components, and shoreline erosion control structures. Geometry, exposure, placement, and habitat objectives guide each project.
Art & Specialty Products
Sculptural pieces, architectural features, planters, site furnishings, and custom concrete products. Shape, texture, finish, and repeatability are developed around the design intent.
Hydrodemolition
Water jet removal of concrete and preparation of concrete surfaces for repair. The scope addresses removal limits, substrate condition, reinforcement protection, water supply, and wastewater capture.
Precast Concrete
Custom components fabricated before delivery to the project. Planning addresses molds or printed forms, reinforcement, connections, lifting points, transport dimensions, and installation sequencing.
Cast in Place Structures
Concrete structures formed and placed at the project site. Scope planning coordinates formwork, reinforcement, embedded items, access, placement sequence, curing, and specified finish.
Tilt Up Concrete
Concrete wall panels cast on site and erected into position. We coordinate panel geometry, lifting and bracing requirements, crane access, connections, and the project erection sequence.
Custom & Hybrid Solutions
Some projects benefit from more than one method. We evaluate printing, casting, precast fabrication, and field construction together to match the design, budget, and installation conditions.
Steel Microfiber Reinforcement
Steel microfibers incorporated into a designed concrete mix to develop the required crack control and mechanical performance. We evaluate options to supplement or replace conventional reinforcement where the project design and approvals permit.
02 / Marine & coastal
Built for the places
where land
meets water.
From offshore reef scanning and replacement concepts to shoreline erosion control, Crete Built develops custom concrete solutions around the site, the intended function, and the conditions the structure will face.
We work with the project team to translate survey information and environmental objectives into geometry that can be fabricated, transported, and placed.
Marine work requires project specific engineering, environmental review, and applicable agency approvals. Habitat recovery and erosion reduction are project objectives to evaluate and monitor.
01
Scan & understand
Define survey coverage, geometry, seabed conditions, water depth, and the purpose of the replacement or protection system.
02
Develop the right form
Coordinate reef replacement components, habitat features, and erosion control concepts with qualified marine and environmental specialists.
03
Fabricate for the environment
Address material suitability, durability, reinforcement, connections, handling, and required testing before production.
04
Plan placement & verification
Establish transport, lifting, marine access, installation tolerances, documentation, and any required monitoring with the delivery team.
Products & materials / Steel microfibers
Reinforcement.
Built into the mix.
Crete Built offers steel microfiber reinforcement as part of its custom concrete solutions. The right fiber and mix can contribute crack bridging, toughness, and tensile performance after cracking. We evaluate the reinforcement approach around the concrete element and its intended use.
A designed material system.
Fiber type, geometry, dosage, dispersion, and the concrete matrix work together. Specified performance must be supported by the selected product and representative mix testing.
Replace where the design allows.
Steel fiber reinforcement can supplement or replace conventional bars or mesh in suitable engineered applications. The project engineer defines the permitted substitution, required performance, and any conventional reinforcement that remains.
Match the material to the method.
We review suitability for the proposed product or structure, placement method, finish, and exposure. Printed concrete also requires assessment of pumping, extrusion, fiber orientation, and the bond between printed layers.
Start with the project requirements.
Tell us the intended use, dimensions, loads, exposure, finish, and proposed construction method. If a reinforcement design already exists, include it for review.
Possible applications for evaluation include custom products, precast elements, slabs, and other concrete components. Suitability depends on the specific fiber product, mix, element, and design requirements.
Reinforcement substitution is established through engineering review and applicable approvals. Fibers are not an automatic replacement for every bar, connection, anchor, or reinforcement detail. Marine exposure and corrosion requirements are reviewed separately.
03 / How we work
A clear path from
concept to concrete.
Understand the purpose.
Review the application, location, dimensions, quantities, budget, schedule, and available drawings or scans.
Choose the method.
Assess printing, precast, cast in place, tilt up, or a combined approach. Define engineering, testing, and approval needs.
Make it buildable.
Coordinate models, materials, interfaces, samples, and the agreed quality checks before and during fabrication.
Finish with a plan.
Coordinate handling, delivery, installation responsibilities, inspections, and project documentation within the agreed scope.
04 / Crete Built · Established 2021
Ideas take shape.
Experience brings
them to life.
Crete Built is a 3D concrete printing and specialty concrete company built around custom solutions.
Since 2021, our focus has been bringing creative ideas and practical construction together. Our work spans art and specialty products, offshore reef and coastal applications, homes, commercial and storage buildings, and structural concrete.
We choose the fabrication and construction approach around the job. That includes 3D printing, hydrodemolition, precast, cast in place, and tilt up concrete solutions.
For owners, architects, artists, builders, and marine project teams, the first step is the same: understand the need, define the constraints, and develop a concrete solution that can be delivered.
05 / Exploring form
Designed beyond
the ordinary.
Digital design opens new possibilities for form, layout, and construction. These architectural studies from the existing Crete Built design collection illustrate concepts for discussion.
Concept imagery illustrates design possibilities and is not presented as a completed Crete Built project. Final designs, finishes, systems, and feasibility are project specific.
06 / Questions, answered
Start with clarity.
Can steel microfibers replace rebar?
In suitable engineered applications, steel fiber reinforcement can supplement or replace conventional reinforcement. Crete Built evaluates its steel microfiber options against the selected product data, mix performance, element geometry, loads, and applicable requirements. The project engineer must establish any substitution and specify reinforcement that remains, including bars at connections or other critical details. A generic fiber dosage is not a substitute for this review.
What can Crete Built create?
Custom concrete art and products, reef and shoreline components, residential homes, commercial and storage buildings, precast components, cast in place structures, and tilt up panels. We also provide hydrodemolition for concrete surfaces. Each inquiry is reviewed for scope and feasibility.
Does 3D printing produce an entire finished building?
A printing scope commonly covers defined walls or components. Foundations, reinforcement, connections, roofs, openings, waterproofing, insulation, utilities, and finishes must be coordinated as part of the complete building. Your proposal will identify what is included.
Can you work from a sketch, drawing, model, or reef scan?
Yes. Share what is available and describe the intended result. Initial review identifies missing dimensions, survey requirements, model development, engineering input, testing, and approvals needed to move forward. Arrange a secure transfer before sending confidential or sensitive files.
Is printing always the best method?
The right method depends on geometry, repetition, structural requirements, material suitability, access, and installed cost. We evaluate 3D printing alongside precast, cast in place, tilt up, and hybrid construction.
How are cost and schedule determined?
Pricing and schedule depend on design development, dimensions, quantities, materials, reinforcement, finish, mobilization, transport, installation, testing, and permits. We develop project specific proposals rather than promise a universal cost per square foot or printing time.
What needs to happen before a marine structure is placed?
The project team must establish site suitability, engineering and material requirements, environmental review, applicable permits, installation planning, and any monitoring obligations. Those requirements are defined for the specific location and use.
