Why Tilt-Up?

Making Ontario’s Construction Industry Faster, Stronger and More Efficient

Tilt-up construction offers a smarter and more efficient way to build. Instead of manufacturing wall panels offsite and transporting them to the job site, tilt-up panels are cast directly on the building’s slab and then lifted into place with a crane. This streamlined process allows for faster construction, greater design flexibility, and durable concrete structures that stand the test of time. Watch the video to see how tilt-up construction works and why it has become one of the most efficient building methods in the industry.

Cost Effective

The walls of your building can be raised faster since each concrete panel is crafted onsite on concrete slabs. Local materials are chosen as much as possible, and fewer professional trades are needed.

Energy Efficiency

Using insulation sandwiched between large concrete panels creates walls with fewer thermal bridges and insulation R values as high as 50!

Durability

Along with being one of the strongest materials you can build with, concrete also resists corrosion, rotting, rust and insect infestation.

Speed of Construction

Many of the key activities are completed onsite, such as panel forming and concrete pouring, which expedites the process and results in a faster ROI for developers.

Reduced Maintenance

Concrete can last for decades with only minimal upkeep required.
