When to choose precast over tilt-wall

Concrete is a smart choice for exterior wall construction given its strength, durability, and resilience. And when it comes to using concrete, there are generally two choices: precast or cast-in-place.

As every project is unique, it is crucial to consider design options, job site space, speed of production, speed of installation, carbon footprint and performance to determine which option is most beneficial to your project.

How do you know which you should use for your project?

  • When quality is important, choose precast.

  • When schedule is important, choose precast.

  • When space is important, choose precast.

  • When aesthetics are important, choose precast.

  • When panel thickness and carbon footprint are important, choose precast.

  • When long-term costs are important, choose precast.
