TILTBILT® construction is one of the most versatile and adaptable of modern concrete building methods. TILTBILT® buildings are not only functional and durable, but aesthetically desirable. Almost any style of structure can be produced, from the simplest and plainest to the most architecturally complex and decorative. The decision to use TILTBILT® construction is influenced by a variety of factors - functionalism, appearance, permanence, cost, low maintenance to name a few. There are outstanding advantages of speed, economy and structural integrity. These are dependent on careful planning both at the design stage and during construction. Benefits Flexibility of design... more Speed of construction... more Quality of finished product... more On-site safety Two thirds of all work carried out at ground level... more No scaffold, no elevators... more The use of unskilled/semi skilled labour... more Savings Interest during construction time Obtaining a quicker income revenue in the cash flow Foundations Lower maintenance cost Reduced outlay on site equipment No structural frame normally required as panels are load bearing   Flexibility TILTBILT® gives you the edge in flexibility of design, speed of construction, comparative costs and quality of the finished product.   Economy Cost ratio comparisons with other methods of construction show why TILTBILT® solves design and construction problems at a significantly lower cost than other construction methods. (Up to 20% on a building shell). Like many 'assembly line' procedures, TILTBILT® relies on efficient use of men, time, materials and equipment. It also benefits from economies of scale - the cost per square metre decreases as building size increases. Because of simple, repetitive procedures, most of the construction labour can be carried out by easily trained, unskilled personnel.   Safety Unlike cast in place concrete or other forms of masonry construction, TILTBILT® minimises the problems, extra cost and safety hazards created by scaffolding and working at heights. All preparation work for the erection of the building is carried out at ground level. Only when roof steel and sheeting is being placed is it necessary to have workmen on the building above ground level. No form work is used above ground level and no concrete needs to be poured above ground level. The site remains clean and uncluttered by comparison with other methods of construction. Not only is this essential for the smooth, efficient erection of the building, but it is also very effective in reducing safety hazards and on-site accidents.   Speed In the construction of industrial-type steel frame buildings, considerable delay can occur between commencement of site works and supply and erection of structural steel. This is brought about because steel fabrication is not commenced until building approval is given by the relevant authority. Because the steel frame is one of the first items on the critical path, this delay can be very costly in lost time. The TILTBILT® System uses minimal steelwork, which is erected after construction of the walls, thereby reducing critical path delays to a bare minimum. The saving in the cost of steelwork can also amount to as much as 50%.   Quality The steel and concrete of TILTBILT® wall and floor panels give them an excellent fire rating of two to four hours. TILTBILT® panels also resist the shear forces caused by sesmic movement. This structural strength and fire resistance allows TILTBILT® buildings to have maximum use for public structures as well as industrial, commercial and residential uses. Hospitals, schools and government offices are all highly suitable uses for TILTBILT®. Panels withstand the severe Los Angeles earthquake The TILTBILT® System expands the designer's horizons; enables the building contractor to produce high quality structures at an attractive price with minimum skilled labour; gives the building owner the advantages of durability, minimum maintenance and low depreciation - advantages which will be appreciated far into the future.
