Tilt-Wall Panel Construction
Complete tilt-wall construction packages for warehouses, distribution centers, and industrial buildings. Panel casting, erection, and connection details managed as a turnkey scope from foundation through roof-ready shell.
Tilt-wall construction has become the preferred building method for industrial and commercial facilities throughout the DFW metroplex, offering speed, durability, and cost-effectiveness that traditional construction methods simply cannot match. As a general contractor specializing in tilt-wall construction, we manage the complete building shell scope from foundation through roof-ready delivery.
The tilt-wall process involves casting concrete wall panels on the building's floor slab, then lifting them into position using specialized cranes. This approach dramatically accelerates construction schedules-a 100,000 square foot warehouse shell can be erected in weeks rather than months. For property developers and investors, this speed-to-market advantage translates directly to faster lease-up and earlier return on investment.
Our tilt-wall experience spans warehouse and distribution facilities, manufacturing plants, flex space developments, and retail centers throughout the I-30 and I-20 corridors. We've refined our processes to deliver consistent quality while maintaining the aggressive schedules that commercial development demands. Panel casting, crane coordination, welding, and grouting are all managed by our experienced crews with direct supervision from our project managers.
The Mesquite and East Dallas industrial market continues to attract major logistics operators and e-commerce distributors, driving demand for large-format tilt-wall facilities. We understand the specific requirements of these users-clear heights, column spacing, dock configurations-and build shells that position your facility competitively in the market.

Frequently Asked Questions
What size tilt-wall buildings do you construct?
We construct tilt-wall buildings ranging from 20,000 SF flex buildings to 500,000+ SF distribution centers. Our equipment and crew capacity can handle panels up to 60 feet tall and 40 feet wide, accommodating the 32-36 foot clear heights that modern logistics facilities require.
How does tilt-wall construction compare to steel buildings?
Tilt-wall typically offers faster construction, better fire ratings, superior sound attenuation, and lower long-term maintenance than pre-engineered metal buildings. For most commercial and industrial applications, tilt-wall provides better overall value, particularly for facilities requiring higher clear heights.
What is included in your tilt-wall shell scope?
Our typical shell scope includes foundations, floor slab, wall panel casting and erection, structural steel for roof framing, and roof deck installation. We can also include MEP rough-ins, dock equipment, and interior slabs for a complete turnkey delivery.
How long does tilt-wall construction take?
A 100,000 SF tilt-wall shell typically takes 4-5 months from permit to shell completion. Panel casting requires 2-3 weeks of curing before erection. The actual panel lifting usually takes 3-5 days depending on building size. These timelines can be compressed for urgent projects.
Do you provide design-build tilt-wall services?
Yes, we work with developers and property owners on design-build tilt-wall projects. We can engage early in design to provide value engineering recommendations that optimize building performance while managing construction costs.
