Build with tilt-up, the most advanced construction method for:

• warehouse facilities
• distribution centers
• office complexes
• shopping centers
• industrial buildings
• low-rise commercial
• waste water tanks
• low to mid-rise structures
• schools
• prisons
• motels
• homes

Regardless of its purpose, you want a building that works, is attractive, reasonably priced, and efficient - a building in which you can take pride! You can have all of these benefits with tilt-up concrete construction.

It has been in use since the turn of the century. Since the mid-1940s it has developed into the preferred method of construction for many types of buildings and structures. Nationwide, over 15% of all industrial buildings are tilt-up, ranging in size from 5,000 to over 1.5 million square feet. They are typified by their attractiveness, efficiency and longevity.

Design-build - the fast delivery system for your project where the building construction proceeds while the design is being developed, speeding completion. Tilt-up lends itself to this process because construction of the wall panels can proceed whle the rest of the building is being designed.

You'll get earlier occupancy - when you decide to build, you want to proceed quickly. With tilt-up, you get compression of disciplines - many phases proceed simultaneously. Therefore, you can move into your building sooner.

Assembly line prefabrication - load-bearing reinforced concrete wall panels are cast horizontally on the floor slab or a casting slab, and are tilted up into their final vertical position with high-capacity mobile cranes. The entire process is designed for efficiency and speed of erection.

Trades get in sooner - because the floor slab is poured first, the other trades can work sooner, and have a better work environment. That saves both time and money.

Materials and labor are more readily available - site-cast tilt-up uses ready mixed concrete usually available near the job site. Contractors use local labor.
