| Site-Cast Tilt-up walls have been around for a long time. There are not many builders that can construct them without subcontracting the work to another company, but CFBSI does everything in-house. The planning and engineering phases of site-cast tilt-up are the key to making them work and work well. The site-cast projects can be fast tracked into the design/build type of construction. While the engineering and planning is going on with the site-cast walls, the site preparation such as foundation and slab can be started. Once the slab is finished, construction of the site cast tilt up walls can start. To gain a better understanding of this process, view the Site-Cast Tilt-up video on the right. |

Key Benefit: Innovation
Tilt-up is innovation! This highly efficient, practical method of construction makes beautiful buildings possible at costs that rival the most utilitarian industrial building. As a tilt-up contractor, CFBSI is truly innovative, and continually works to improve our processes and techniques. Although many claim to be experts, CFBSI is the Chippewa Valley's best source for site-cast tilt-up construction.
When paired with our design build service, the tilt-up process is enhanced even more. The use of computers in the preplanning and layout process provides us the opportunity to make innovative improvements before the design is finalized.
Key Benefit: Cost Containment
In-place material costs are more competitive than precast, masonry and steel structures; fewer skilled laborers are needed to achieve high-quality construction. In addition, the speed of erection and ease of other subcontractors' work further reduce costs.
Costs are easier to control because there are fewer variables with tilt-up. Ready mixed concrete, made from readily available native materials, has price stability. Vertical forming and scaffolding are eliminated, less skilled labor is needed, and the short construction cycle precludes cost run-ups. Weather is less of a problem since the floor slab provides a stable work surface for the trades.
