Before the Anchor Bolts there was the Concrete Pour

Written by William Robert King, RA

Unless you look for it the level top of the concrete is gauged by small indicator stakes placed in the forms at the correct finished elevation.  The workers vibrate the fresh material so that it “seeks” its own level matching the stakes.  Before the pour, the stakes were set into place by the survey crew for accuracy.  The rest is just “pour, level and repeat”.  That’s why the top of the forms does not have to match the top of concrete.  Ever wonder?  Now you know.

In June of 1979, William Robert King, the firm’s founder, began his career in New York City as a project architect in the office of Ulrich Franzen and Associates, a noted international architectural firm. Mr. King’s experience working on projects such as Champion International Headquarters in Stamford, CT; Con Edison-Queens Division Headquarters in Forest Hills, NY; and the Headquarters for Philip Morris in New York City among many others, created the background for establishing his own practice in April of 1984.

From that point onward, Mr. King has developed a firm known for expertise in a wide range of projects and providing a variety of services for a diverse clientele.

In the first decade of practice, the firm’s work concentrated on residential rehabilitation projects for individual clients. In the years since the firm has seen a continuing trend towards residential, medical and commercial projects.

We are committed to improving the quality of services as well as maintaining our high design standards. Toward that end, we have fully computerized drafting & design, utilizing AutoCad, 3D Studio Max and Microsoft Visio Professional software.
