What We Do

Tilt-Up & Structural Work We Handle

Panels cast to the structural drawings and coordinated with your engineer, steel, and crane crew.

Tilt-Up Wall Panels

Structural concrete panels cast on site and raised for warehouse and commercial shells.

Insulated Sandwich Panels

Panels with a rigid insulation core for energy performance in conditioned space.

Footings & Grade Beams

The structural footings and grade beams the panels bear on.

Embeds & Connections

Placement of embeds, lift inserts, and brace inserts coordinated with the steel and engineer.

How It Works

How a Tilt-Up Job Runs

The same disciplined process on every commercial pour, coordinated with your GC, engineer, and inspector.

Drawings & Coordination

We review the structural and panel drawings with your engineer and GC and confirm the sequence.

Footings & Slab

We pour footings, grade beams, and the building slab or casting beds the panels are cast on.

Form, Cast & Finish

Panels are formed with reinforcement, embeds, and lift inserts, poured, finished, and cured to lift strength.

Pick, Brace & Connect

With the crane crew, panels are tilted up, set on the footings, braced, and connected before stripping.

Materials & Standards

Tilt-Up Engineered for California

In California, tilt-up panels are engineered to seismic and building-code requirements. Our standards:

  • Panels6 to 7 inch standard reinforced panels, or insulated sandwich and architectural panels to the drawings.
  • ReinforcementPanel steel, embeds, and lift inserts placed to the structural engineer's drawings.
  • MixStructural mix cured to the strength required before the crane pick.
  • SeismicPanels and connections detailed to the California Building Code seismic requirements.
  • CoordinationCrane pick, bracing, and connections coordinated with your engineer, GC, and steel.
Pricing & Concerns

Straight Answers on Cost and Scope

Ranges reflect typical San Diego County commercial work. Your firm number comes from a site walk and a set of plans.

What will this cost?

Reinforced commercial flatwork and lots run about $10 to $14 per square foot; industrial floors $13 to $18; tilt-up panels $14 to $32 per square foot of panel. These are San Diego County ranges. Slab thickness, PSI, reinforcement, and access drive the number. We price from your plans and a site walk.

How long does it take?

Commercial timelines depend on size and phasing. We can place large pours in a day, then concrete needs 7 days before traffic and 28 days for full strength. We give you a realistic sequence and dates with the quote.

Do you pull commercial permits?

Yes. As a CSLB-licensed contractor (#1026938) we pull permits through the City of Poway or the County of San Diego and coordinate the sub-grade, reinforcement, and pre-pour inspections.

Can you keep us open during work?

Usually. We phase the work so a lot stays partly open or a building keeps operating from another area, and we schedule around your hours to limit downtime.

Common Questions

Tilt-Up Concrete Walls FAQ

What is tilt-up concrete construction?
Tilt-up is a method where the building's wall panels are cast flat on the slab on site, then tilted up with a crane and set on the footings. It is widely used for warehouses because it is strong, fire-resistant, and fast.
How much do tilt-up walls cost?
Tilt-up is priced by the square foot of panel. Standard 6 to 7 inch reinforced panels typically run $14 to $22, insulated sandwich panels $20 to $28, and architectural panels $24 to $32 and up.
Are tilt-up walls engineered for California seismic?
Yes. In California, tilt-up panels and their connections are engineered to the Building Code seismic requirements. We build to the structural engineer's drawings.
Do you work as the concrete sub for our GC?
Yes. On tilt-up projects we pour footings, slab, and panels to the drawings and coordinate the embeds and the lift with your engineer, steel, and crane crew.
What are insulated sandwich panels?
A sandwich panel has rigid insulation cast between two concrete layers, giving the wall built-in thermal performance that reduces energy loads for conditioned space.
Do tilt-up projects need special engineering and permits?
Yes. Tilt-up panels are structural elements that require engineered drawings, permits, and inspections. We build to the engineer's drawings and coordinate the inspections.
