Tilt-Up for Housing

October 23, 2026 from 10:30am to 11:30am Mountain Standard Time

Len Overbeek

As demand for housing continues to increase, project teams are being challenged to deliver at greater speed, scale, and efficiency, prompting renewed evaluation of established construction methods. This session explores the application of tilt-up construction within residential contexts, including mid-rise, multifamily, and mixed-use developments, and examines how the system can be adapted to meet the specific requirements of these building types. Attendees will explore key considerations related to structural design, envelope performance, construction sequencing, and integration with other building systems, along with the role of standardization and repeatability in improving delivery outcomes. The discussion positions tilt-up as a viable strategy for supporting scalable and efficient housing solutions across diverse markets.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

• Identify where tilt-up construction is best suited within residential building types, including its advantages and limitations.
• Evaluate key design and engineering considerations for tilt-up housing, including code requirements, thermal performance, and system integration.
• Apply construction planning strategies that improve speed, efficiency, and cost control in residential tilt-up projects.
• Develop repeatable approaches for delivering housing at scale using tilt-up construction methodologies.
