As a TCA member, your firm will have the opportunity to submit for, and receive, highly acclaimed Tilt-Up Achievement Awards, which will provide you with industry- and world-wide recognition. The TCA Achievement Awards program was established to honor projects that use site-cast Tilt-Up concrete to introduce new building types, advance industry technology and provide unique solutions to building programs. The winning entries illustrate the variety, beauty, and flexibility of the Tilt-Up construction concept, as well as tilt-up’s unique ability to get the job done faster and for less money.
Additionally, each year the TCA selects a recipient of the Irving J. Gill Progressive Architecture Award. The award recognizes an individual or firm whose pursuance of design excellence or application of the tilt-up method to new building types and new markets has propelled the industry to new heights.
TCA member contractors, architects and engineers are very loyal to the companies supporting their industry. These members look to the TCA for news and announcements of new products and services. They attend the TCA Annual Convention to get hands on experience with these new technologies and build lasting relationships with supplier members.
In addition to advertising opportunities, Global Associate members are often listed in Tilt-Up Today along with a message encouraging readers to count on them to provide the expertise needed to ensure a successful project. This listing of companies is also made available online where each member has their own dedicated profile page with images, logos, contact info and more. The TCA online member mapping application is just one more resource you can use to list ALL of your branch locations. Both members and non-members use this tool regularly to discover tilt-up industry professionals and services in their area.
Members receive preferred pricing on our wide variety of educational and networking events throughout the year, like the TCA Annual Convention, Local and Regional Seminars, the TCA Annual Meeting (held each year during World of Concrete), and other valuable events.
As a TCA member, your firm receives preferred pricing on The Architecture of Tilt-Up, Engineering Tilt-Up, The Construction of Tilt-Up and other industry leading publications, multimedia resources, and promotional materials. Additionally, your membership includes a subscription to Tilt-Up Today, the quarterly magazine of the Tilt-Up Concrete Association.
Perhaps the most important benefit of your TCA membership is that it allows you to play an important role in advancing the industry. Your involvement can be as simple as giving us a call with an idea or submitting firm news for inclusion in our weekly TILT-Update and publication on our website. To get further involved, serve on one of the many committees of the TCA, speak at our events, submit articles for our publications, and initiate new charges. This is your organization; shape it to be what you need it to be.
