Shell Construction: Concrete and Forming

In the tumultuous Florida environment, the “shell” of your building is its first line of defense against the elements. Thum Co. contractors specialize in shell construction for the Palm Beach area—the foundation, masonry, and forming phase—built to withstand South Florida’s wind zones.

We approach each build with caution and knowledge, ensuring our finished projects are made to last. We focus on strong structural performance, clean execution, and strict adherence to engineered plans.

Shell Services: What do we do?

We work with owner-builders and developers to deliver crucial parts of the shell construction process.

– Concrete Foundations: We use monolithic slabs and stem walls engineered for sandy soil.

– Masonry (Block Work): We adhere to the gold standard for Florida homes by using CBS (Concrete Block Structure) construction.

– Tie Beams & Lintels: We reinforce concrete for structural rigidity.

– Forming: Not only do we provide the basic shell, but we enhance it with structures such as concrete staircases.
