Main contractor
A board-marked elevation cast in four lifts
Sawn board grain on an in-situ wall, four lifts from one liner, and a release agent that had to be tested before anything was poured.

Six concrete jobs, with the arithmetic shown.
Anonymised by sector, because the customers are not ours to name. Each one has its own page: what arrived, the thing that made it awkward, and what the tooling worked out at per square metre of finished face.
Example projects
What the work actually looks like on concrete.
Six jobs on this page, from a board-marked wall cast four times to a liner set used forty times across a frame. Every money figure is the same division at the same published rate, so you can check it, and the liner calculator will run it on your own rate.
Precast manufacturer
Deep relief precast units, and a face that had to survive a hundred pours
Forty millimetres of relief, tight returns, and a face that had to still be casting the same panel at pour one hundred.

Housebuilder
Cast stone heads and cills for a plot mix
Semi-dry units struck green, six profiles in one family, and arrises that had to survive being handled at their weakest.
Read the job
Facade specialist
A matched liner set, one bay cast forty times
A pattern that had to run across the joints, from liners that had to match each other and keep matching as they aged.
Read the job
Heritage and restoration
A string course profile matched to a weathered original
A weathered original, a profile that had to be rebuilt rather than copied, and stone too friable to take a mould off carelessly.

Civils
A reveal and a service rebate on an in-situ wall
A chamfer that kept spalling on strike, and a rebate that had to hold its line across sixty bays.
Read the jobReuse is the whole argument
One liner at one pour and the same liner at a hundred are different businesses.
The six jobs below run from four pours off one liner up to two hundred and fifty uses from a cast stone mould. That spread is the reason the same question gets six different answers.
Where each job sits on the reuse curve, at an indicative £350 per square metre of liner
| The job | Sector | Liner or mould area | Pours | Per m² of face |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Board-marked elevation | Main contractor | 9 m² | 4 | £87.50 |
| Deep relief precast units | Precast manufacturer | 4.5 m² | ~100 | £3.50 |
| Matched liner set | Facade specialist | 8 m² | 40 | £8.75 |
| Reveal and rebate inserts | Civils | 3 m² | ~60 | £5.83 |
| Cast stone heads and cills | Housebuilder | 2.1 m² | 250 per mould | £1.40 |
| Matched heritage profile | Heritage and restoration | 0.6 m² | 12 lengths | £29.17 |
The last column is the liner rate divided by the pours, which is why it does not depend on the area. Cast stone and heritage are shown per square metre for consistency, but on those two jobs the useful figure is per unit: about 49 pence a head or cill, and about £17.50 of mould in a replacement length. Rate from published figures from PERI UK and RECKLI.
All of the arithmetic below runs at the same indicative rate of £350 per square metre of liner, from published figures from PERI UK and RECKLI. It is a market figure carried here so the division can be checked, and the liner calculator will run it on your own rate instead.
Why nobody is named
The customers are described by sector on purpose.
We work under non-disclosure by default, and a facade package is commercially sensitive while it is still being tendered.
There is a list of businesses we have worked with elsewhere on this site. It is deliberately not connected to any of the jobs above. Naming a specific elevation and a specific customer in the same sentence needs that customer's written permission, and we would rather publish a slightly duller case study than borrow someone else's building for our marketing.
If you want the sector view rather than the job view, the applications page sets out precast, facade, civils, housing and heritage work side by side, with the same arithmetic applied to each.
Every money figure on this page is indicative. It is taken either from the illustrative two year duty cycle used across all five TCI sites or from published third-party pricing, and it is shown so the arithmetic can be checked. None of it is a quotation, and all of it must be replaced with TCI figures before launch.
