Tilt Up Construction
Be efficient while constructing your business. Tilt up construction is fast, affordable and a go-to method for many commercial projects.
Fast, Affordable Go-To Method
CMIC has been a tilt up construction contractor since 1990. With a background in general contracting, we have grown into one of the largest concrete construction contractors we work with, and our commercial services now include conceptual budgeting, construction management and design-build. Tilt up construction combines the efficiency of the design-build process with the speed, strength and durability of building with reinforced concrete, we pour your panels onsite, then assemble them with cranes to create attractive buildings built to last.
Scope like this is usually priced alongside our Design-Build team, so estimating, permitting and field work all stay under one contract with one accountable point of contact.
