Calamar specializes in site-cast concrete tilt-up construction.  This method of construction allows multiple phases of construction to be performed simutaneously enabling a much shorter construction schedule which translates into cost savings.  (Check out the video at the bottom of this page) Site-cast concrete tilt-up construction is extremely flexible and desireable from a design standpoint and offers many advantages and benefits over other methods of construction.  Some highlights include:

  • Economy - Tilt-up buildings maximize your operating & investment costs
  • Floor Utilization - Column-free perimeter walls allow for unobstructed rack spacing and permit unrestricted door locations
  • Schedule - Fast track schedules provide savings in labor, materials and time
  • Design Freedom - Each and every building can be custom designed to meet your exact needs both in function and appearance.  The design possibilities are just about endless
  • Thermal Efficiencies - Concrete itself integrates a high amount of thermal mass into the structure on it's own, but combined with sandwich panel insulation, it provides a significant increase in energy value and moisture protection and ultimately minimizes your operating costs
  • Concrete has many natural LEED properties making it a sustainable product

Calamar is proud to share that we have won both national and local awards for our concrete tilt-up construction projects.
