Abstract:
1. An improved tiltwall construction method for constructing an attractive yet affordable building, comprising: A. casting a plurality of at least two non-contiguous reinforced concrete castings on one or more casting surfaces, said at least two non-contiguous reinforced concrete castings comprising a first reinforced concrete casting and a second reinforced concrete casting that are non-contiguous such that they are relatively positioned with a span of separation between them; B. structurally securing at least two substantially parallel structural steel columns to each of said at least two non-contiguous reinforced concrete castings, whereby said at least two structural steel columns and said at least two non-contiguous reinforced concrete castings are integrally united to form a composite tilt-up panel assembly while one or more of said at least two non-contiguous reinforced concrete castings are positioned on one of said one or more casting surfaces, said structurally securing step comprising: C. tilting said composite tilt-up panel assembly from a substantially horizontal position to an upright position, wherein said tilting step occurs after said structurally securing step and comprises tilting said composite tilt-up panel assembly to an upright position wherein said second concrete casting is positioned above said first concrete casting and said span of separation is a vertical span between said first and second reinforced concrete castings.
