Pour Strip Zero

Build Faster. Finish Months Sooner.

Why General Contractors Choose PS=Ø

PS=Ø eliminates traditional pour strips and the delays they create. Keep floors clear, eliminate backshoring at the pour strip, and allow following trades to start sooner. The result is a safer, more efficient jobsite and a shorter, more predictable construction schedule.

Accelerate Schedule

Accelerate Schedule

PS=Ø typically saves 2–3 months on the construction schedule by eliminating pour-strip delays, backshoring, and return work—allowing following trades to start sooner.

Reduce Cost

Reduce Overall Costs

Shorter schedules mean lower general conditions. PS=Ø also reduces the labor, backshoring, return work, and coordination costs associated with traditional pour strips.

Eliminate Backshoring

Eliminate Backshoring

By eliminating the traditional pour strip, PS=Ø eliminates the associated backshoring. Floors remain clear and accessible, allowing MEP and other following trades to work without shores obstructing their path.

Improve Jobsite Safety

Improve Jobsite Safety

Eliminating the traditional pour strip removes the open strip and exposed reinforcing steel associated with it, while reducing backshoring and congestion. The result is a cleaner, safer working environment for all trades.

Increase Efficiency

Increase Efficiency

Clear floors and fewer construction interruptions improve trade flow and coordination. By eliminating pour-strip leave-outs, backshoring, and return work, PS=Ø helps crews work more efficiently from floor to floor.

Delegated Design

Engineering Support

Our engineers work directly with the project team from design through construction, providing layout, details, coordination, and field support to help make PS=Ø implementation straightforward.
