Prestressed concrete is a form of concrete used in construction. It is substantially “prestressed” (compressed) during production, in a manner that strengthens it – usually by the insertion of high tensile stainless steel cable under pressure.

Why do TUFF+ Kit Buildings have flat roofs?
A flat roof is the most cost-efficient roof shape as all room space can be used fully (below and above the roof). Having a smaller surface area, flat roofs require less material and are usually stronger than pitched roofs.[26]
Flat roofs also avoid the danger of aerofoil lift in strong winds such as in a hurricane. In simple terms a gabled roof is similar to an airplane wing and can lift the roof off, while a flat roof does not have to deal with this lift. When wind flows over a shallow sloped hip or gable roof, the roof can behave like an airplane wing.
A flat roof also provides optimum sun exposure for solar panels
