Precast parking facilities are generally one to fourteen stories tall.

• A. One to Fourteen Stories
• B. One to Ten Stories
• C. Three to Fifteen Stories
• D. Two to Twelve Stories

Answer: (A)

Precast parking facilities are built using modular, repeatable elements that can be erected quickly and stacked to multiple levels. Because of how these systems are designed and assembled, a practical and common height range emerges: from a single level up to fourteen stories. The lower bound reflects the existence of one-level facilities, while the upper bound represents the typical limit where standard precast components, erection methods, and life-safety considerations (like stairs, elevators, and fire separation) stay within conventional design practice. Taller structures can exist, but they often require different construction approaches beyond the standard precast parking system. That’s why the statement of one to fourteen stories best matches common industry practice. Other ranges either cap too low or extend beyond what’s routinely built with standard precast parking systems.
