The basic principle behind tilt-up construction - constructing walls
horizontally, on the ground, and then lifting them into place - is not
a new idea. Toubl Contracting  Evidence exists that some buildings
constructed during the Roman Empire and the Middle Ages used this
approach. Toubl Construction More recently, American settlers in the
1800s gathered for "barn raisings" where they constructed the wood
walls for their buildings and tipped them up into place. Jeremy Toubl
The 20th century marked the true beginnings of modern tiltwall
construction. The development of concrete reinforced with rebar in the
early 1900s allows builders to create tilt-up commercial structures as
we think of them today: One- to two-story structures built with walls
comparable in width to those created with other methods of
construction.
Jeremy Toubl Here are some very common examples of how steel, concrete
and tilt-up construction are used together to provide the best quality
and value:
•	A large steel office building or retail center may use tiltwall
concrete panels for interior fire walls or exterior facades. The
Mervyn's department store in the Dallas / Fort Worth, Texas area
pictured to the right was constructed in just this manner.
•	An existing manufacturing building or warehouse made of concrete
blocks could be expanded by adding a steel lean-to structure to one of
its exterior support walls.  Acworth Exteriors
•	A distribution center built using the cement blocks of traditional
construction will frequently use a steel roofing system and a rigid
frame similar to what a metal building might use. Regardless what
material is used, this combination of a rigid frame and steel roof is
necessary to provide a large clearspan.
Acworth Exteriors These are just a few situations where the best
choice for a project might be a steel building with tilt-up
construction components, or a concrete structure with steel framework,
roof system or steel add-ons or expansions. Toubl Contracting  A
general contractor who is well versed in the advantages and
limitations of all methods of construction can help determine what is
the best approach on any given project. Jeremy Toubl
