Stamped Concrete – more design for a lower cost

Get the look of stone or brick pavement with stamped concrete

Stamped concrete is a building material that is long-lasting, flexible, and cost-efficient. But, before we go into its many benefits, let’s start with a definition.
.

According to Wikipedia:

“Stamped concrete is concrete that is patterned and / or textured or embossed to resemble brick, slate, flagstone, stone, tile, wood, and various other patterns and textures.”

It is perfect for pool decks, entrance ways, patios, walkways, and courtyards. It gives these areas the upscale look of paving stones or brick without the higher costs associated with them. It was first used in the 1950s and gained popularity in the 70s. Now, it is even starting to be used in interiors.

Stamped concrete provides design flexibility

The product’s ability to be colored makes it a standout building material. Natural, bright, pastel or artificial colors are possibilities. There is more flexibility to pull a building and its surrounding environment together with colored concrete that natural paving stones or slate.

It works well with these natural materials when used for fountains and steps. And it complements them at a lower cost. It also provides for a quicker installation.

Stamped concrete works beautifully with other decorative concrete elements. These can include exposed aggregate or acid staining. Brick, hexagonal tile, worn rock or stone are common patterns.

How is stamped concrete poured?

The process of installing stamped concrete involves three procedures. They are: adding the base color, adding the accent color (if desired), and stamping the pattern.

Adding base color

The base color often imitates the color of natural building materials. It is produced by adding a color hardener to the concrete. This hardener is a powder pigment that dyes the concrete the desired color.

There are two ways of applying it. They are integral color or cast-on color.

An Innovative Canopy Roof System for Old Town Theme Park

Canopy roof system at Old Town Theme Park

A unique solution to a pressing problem

As part of an ongoing capital improvement project at Old Town Theme Park, we recently faced a singular situation with the renovation of storefront canopies.

The existing ones were flat and prone to leakage. Yet, we had to maintain the current footprint of the existing canopies. This post will look at how we solved the dilemma with an innovation canopy roof system.

Project Scope

  • Remove existing flat roof system
  • Create a new pitched roof deck
  • Install a new thermoplastic polyolefin (TPO) roof system

Unique Challenge

The existing flat roofs were old and rotten. They held water and would not drain. This resulted is water running toward the wall and leaking inside the buildings.  [Read more…]

Factory is reborn as South Orange Commerce Center

orange-commercial-construction-companies-07

Project Profile: South Orange Commerce Center construction management –

South Orange Commerce Center was once a 50,000 metal building used for boat manufacturing. Its developer wanted it converted into eight retail/office spaces. The 3.5-acre lot needed complete site work, but the metal building was converted into a thriving plaza.

The facility required a complete gutting and custom build out of four of the eight units. In addition, CAM Contracting did a custom build out a 5,000 square foot gun range adjacent to the main building.

The project was completed on time and within budget.

Project Scope

  • Convert existing 50,000 square foot warehouse into eight separate retail spaces
  • New three-phase electric service
  • New plumbing
  • Underground fire sprinklers
  • Framing
  • Drywall installation

Unique Challenge

The warehouse was a timeworn building. It’s state resulted in many unforeseen issues such as hazardous waste disposal. New electric and plumbing were required throughout the facility, resulting in extensive site work.

The Solution

CAM worked with the developer, architect and Orange County Building Department to keep everything on track as well as on schedule during all phases of construction. Conscientiously paying attention to detail made this project, with many potential pitfalls, a success.

CAM Contracting gave us 100% satisfaction and more! They bid on target, arrived when they said they would, completed the job a day early, and cleaned up thoroughly (even a mess on the side that we had left). The "and more" was Dave Seip going to 5 different places to secure a hard-to-find item because of the age of our home. What we made a fiasco, they turned into a job VERY well done. Thanks CAM!

Empire Construction & Development Corp.

I have had the pleasure to know David Seip for over ten years. Initially, we worked as colleagues at the same company.   As we progressed in our own respected aspects as contractors we worked as separate entities together on the same projects. Empire Construction has hired CAM Contracting for several projects and we feel that CAM Contracting is a stellar organization priding themselves on not only speed but accuracy in completing a project. I have met and worked with many types of businessmen over the years from developers and investors to sub-contractors. I have found many to be less in substance than they profess to be in words. David Seip is an honest, upstanding businessman and an excellent General Contractor. It is our belief that CAM Contracting would be a wise choice if you want your project to be completed on time and within your budgetary restrictions. Feel free to contact me personally if you have further questions. Sincerely,

If you are looking for a reliable and honest contractor, look no further than CAM Contracting, LLC! Dave Seip, the owner, uses the highest quality of professionalism, materials, and sub-contractors to insure a superb job without the inflated cost. We had CAM Contracting install wood flooring throughout our house, including our staircase. Due to poor construction from the original builder, each stair was a different width and depth. Although the job was very tedious, Dave and his sub-contractor, also named Dave, took the time to measure each stair and the results are not only amazing but beautiful as well. I highly recommend CAM Contracting! Sincerely,
