The Tilt-up Concrete Association (TCA) has just released their new brochure entitled, Take Pride in Your Structure. It is the latest edition of their effort to familiarize builders, owners, and designer with the advantages of tilt-up construction. The focus is on the creating a building you can be proud of, as demonstrated through a selection of sharp pictures of interesting projects. Text that hits the high points is kept to a minimum.
California builders may find the idea that you must sell tilt-up as slightly amusing, but I can assure you that much of the rest of the country still needs to be convinced that tilt-up is the best way to go for many commercial low-rise applications.
Over the years, the tireless efforts of the TCA have made real progress in spreading the word about tilt-up to much of the country, but the effort needs to be sustained and greater expertise developed nationwide to bring this durable and flexible construction method to all markets.
You can get copies of this attractive brochure for $2.00 each through their web site.
