With a better understanding of these benefits, it's easy to see why many design / build contractors, construction managers and savvy building owners are opting for tilt-up over steel buildings or traditional construction. Toubl Construction Delivering value, speed and responsiveness, quality, durability, reduced construction costs, and ongoing cost savings in operating expenses, tiltwall construction is the best choice for a wide range of commercial construction projects. Jeremy Toubl The term "steel building" is often associated with simple storage sheds and basic structures. With advancements in the industry over the past forty years, however, steel buildings have broken that stereotype and are being used for an ever-growing list of larger and more complex applications. Acworth Exteriors Steel has found its way into advanced farm buildings, riding arenas, aircraft hangers, commercial centers and more. While steel is reasonably durable, concrete remains the material of choice for buildings that require less upkeep and maintenance over the years. Concrete is impervious to corrosion, rotting, rust or insect infestation; tiltwall buildings created in the 1940s are still standing today with little apparent wear. Toubl Contracting The fact that builders in earthquake-prone California now use tilt-up construction for 90% of their single-story commercial buildings indicates that concrete buildings are cost-competitive and extremely durable. When factoring in potential repairs and ongoing maintenance, it's apparent that the real dollar difference between operating a steel building and a concrete building can be significant. Toubl Construction Further, the added fire safety and durability of a concrete building will usually be reflected in lower insurance premiums. Acworth Exteriors If the owner decides to sell the property, they will most likely find that a tilt-up or other concrete building depreciates less and than a steel building will. Jeremy Toubl Up until now the previous articles focused on buildings made entirely of steel. An important fact to remember is that the use of steel in building is not necessarily exclusive of concrete or blocks. In larger or more sophisticated projects the different raw materials and construction methods are frequently used together. Toubl Contracting
