1) In high and medium Seismic Area, it should be avoided.
2) Only Precast slabs are used where spans are medium in multi-storey buildings.
3) when floors are having heavy live & impact loads and vibration, even precast slab should not be used.
4) MEP works should be properly design before starting fabrications of precast elements to avoid cutting of precast concrete which can be dangerous.
5) The surrounding area should be clear for crane to lift heavy elements of precast concrete.
