Purpose-Driven Design
Using the Advantages of Sprung Structures for the Greater Good
Our team has been building quality projects throughout Northern California for over 20 years, forming long-lasting relationships with returning clients. One of these clients is Sprung Structures. For more than 130 years, Sprung has designed world-class fabric membrane building solutions that consistently outperform other building alternatives. As Sprung’s No.1 vendor in Northern California, we are honored to help develop and build these innovative structures. This article explores three advantages of Sprung Structures, and how their social and environmental impact enacts positive change.
#1: The World’s Fastest Building
One of the greatest advantages of a Sprung Structure is rapid construction. A non-insulated structure can be built at a rate of up to 2,000 sq. ft per day, while an insulated structure can be built as quickly as 1,000 sq. ft per day. This swift construction rate allows Sprung to respond promptly to urgent needs. Within 40 days, Sprung built a Covid-19 alternate care facility in Los Angeles that achieved negative air pressure - a requirement for all medical buildings. By adding safe Covid-19 containment centers to overwhelmed hospitals, Sprung Structures have played an important role in the fight against the pandemic. Furthermore, these high-performance medical center structures are all-weather durable and can be shipped within days.
#2: Strategically Designed, Shaped with Purpose
Strategically designed to resist high-wind speeds and heavy snowfall, Sprung Structures come in one shape and are universally code-compliant - making them a viable option for any project, anywhere. Sprung’s structurally tensioned membrane creates the most airtight envelope in the building market. With tall interior ceilings, the buildings are conducive to churches, gyms, and warehouses.
The shape is versatile, deployable, and cost-effective. But as David Renard, President of RPM Team explains - the shape creates one of the most dignified infrastructures for homeless services. At G&G Builders, we have the privilege of using Sprung Structures to build Navigation Centers, providing beds and extensive support services for those experiencing homelessness. With high ceilings and clear-span interiors, these centers offer a natural and bright living environment. Meanwhile, the energy-efficient insulation creates a comfortable interior. Separate rooms can be accommodated for, allowing safer spaces within these homeless facilities. The physical shape of a Sprung Structure becomes a beacon of hope - creating a space conducive to healing and transformation.
#3: Environmental Responsibility
Finally, Sprung Structures are an eco-friendly building alternative. With highly effective insulation, they require 45% less energy to heat and cool their interiors. The structures’ deployability means that they can be easily relocated and repurposed, drastically reducing waste production. Renowned for their exceptional energy performance, durability, and end-of-life mobility, Sprung Structures are essential in a world where sustainability and corporate responsibility become more critical every day.
As Sprung Structure’s No. 1 vendor in Northern California, G&G Builders is honored to work alongside a socially responsible company that actively benefits our community. Even as a small company, we love working on projects that extend beyond ourselves and build for the greater good.
“G&G Builders has been integral in helping Sprung develop the Navigation Center Model, and they act as the single construction resource for a city wishing to expand their homeless services. They work with RPM to help design programs and specify other prefab and modular building products to help keep the project costs down.” - David Renard, President of RPM Team
