In the construction industry, innovations that reduce costs and speed up project completion are highly sought after—so it’s no wonder that we’re seeing a resurgence in the popularity of tilt-up construction. According to Tilt Wall Ontario Inc, over 10,000 buildings are constructed using the tilt-up method each year.

Invented in the early 1900s, tilt-up is a construction method in which large concrete elements are cast onsite and lifted into place by high-capacity mobile cranes. It has long been considered a viable approach for all kinds of everyday buildings and has recently gained a foothold within the architectural community as an innovative method to create interesting aesthetic form.

Why Choose Tilt-Up?

From design to well-beyond completion, the whole tilt-up process optimizes efficiency and offers many advantages. Apart from its architectural versatility and the known benefits of concrete such as its fire-resistance, durability, and the lower operating costs of concrete buildings—tilt-up construction is faster, safer, and more cost-effective than other techniques.

Workers complete most—if not all—of their work on the ground, without scaffolding. This means that the chance of crew injuries from falls is greatly reduced. Also, once the exterior panels are lifted into place, the enclosed structure allows multiple trades to get to work simultaneously enabling speedier completion.
