Know How a Floor Will Feel — Before It's Built
Code compliance tells you a floor is safe. It doesn’t tell you whether the owner will be happy standing on it. FloorChoice™ is RedBuilt’s proprietary floor performance rating system, built into RedSpec Next™, that scores a design from 0–10 so you can match performance to expectations while the project is still on paper.
A rating scale that speaks the owner’s language
Lower scores suit less demanding spaces like storage and warehouse mezzanines. Mid-range scores fit typical office, retail, and multi-family applications. Higher scores are built for spaces where minimizing vibration is critical — operating rooms, laboratories, and high-end residential.
