COMMERCIAL SUBCONTRACTOR NEW YORK & NEW JERSEY
Composite floor systems installed to the supplier's layout and ready for concrete, so each level is poured and the next one can start.
Or call (973) 392-4979
Composite floor systems combine steel joists or deck with a concrete slab to make a thin, stiff floor that goes in fast. They show up on many multifamily and mixed-use buildings in New York and New Jersey, especially over load-bearing steel stud walls. Our crews install Hambro, EcoSpan, ComSlab and Epicore systems, working from the supplier's layout and the engineer of record's details.
Each system has its own parts and its own sequence, but the job is the same: get the joists or deck set, braced and detailed correctly, with edges, openings and reinforcing ready so the concrete crew can pour on schedule.

How it works
A short, predictable sequence the GC can plan around.
We review the system layout, bearing details and openings with the GC before material is delivered.
Joists or deck are set to layout, with bridging, bearing and attachment done as the system requires.
Pour stops, edge details and openings for shafts and stairs are completed and checked.
The floor is handed over for inspection and concrete, and the crew moves up to the next level.
With composite floors the concrete date drives everything. A floor that is not ready on pour day costs the GC a truck schedule, a pump and a crew. We plan our work backward from the pour so the floor is complete and checked in time.
Because we also install the load-bearing walls and joists these floors often sit on, we can coordinate the wall and floor packages as one sequence.
