Why Dextall Was The Right Choice for the Mother Gaston Project
The decision to partner with Dextall for the Mother Gaston project was driven by a clear value proposition: delivering the project on-budget and on-schedule. Initially designed as a stick-built construction, the project faced significant cost and time challenges. Dextall's prefabricated wall system provided a compelling alternative, offering substantial savings and efficiency.
001
Key Benefits of Choosing Dextall:
COST SAVINGS
Over 20% reduction in initial construction costs compared to stick-built methods.
dumpster rentals and 003 TIME SAVINGS
60-day improvement in the construction schedule attributed to the use of Dextall's prefab wall systems.
These benefits not only met the developer's initial goals but exceeded expectations, leading to ongoing collaborations between Dextall and the developer on several sizable mixed-use, multi-family projects in New York City.
Design Phase 003
Architectural Vision
J Frankl Associates
Led by , the design of the Mother Gaston project aims to blend functionality with aesthetic appeal. The stepped-back structure above the fifth floor provides outdoor recreational space while maximizing natural light and ventilation.
Collaboration and Challenges
The collaboration between Dextall, the architects, and the design team focused on incorporating sustainable practices from the outset. Challenges such as aligning the architectural vision with sustainable goals were overcome through detailed planning and innovative solutions.
Fabrication and Materials 004
Prefabricated Products
The project utilized high-performance prefabricated exterior wall systems with
meeting and exceeding code requirements. These factory-assembled products ensured the highest levels of air and water tightness, thanks to well-controlled quality control procedures in the manufacturing environment. R-values ranging from R-17 to R-27,
Fabrication Process
Dextall’s prefabrication process minimized waste and improved efficiency. By manufacturing components in a controlled environment, Dextall was able to guarantee exceptional quality, particularly in terms of air and water tightness, which are critical for energy efficiency and building durability.
Material Selection
Materials were selected for their sustainability and performance. The ACM rainscreen not only enhances the building’s aesthetics but also provides excellent durability and energy efficiency.
