  Concrete has been used to build a wide variety of structures for hundreds of years. Unlike wood construction or some other methods concrete has stood the test of time. Many of the buildings still standing from the Roman and the ancient Middle East were constructed with concrete. Modern methods of concrete construction use more durable materials, and cleaning supplies and chemicals utilize modern machines to make construction much faster. Even large buildings can be erected in a fraction of the time it might have taken in the past. There are even nationwide associations to assist contractors in completing projects, so they can achieve the best possible results.
  
  Tilt-up concrete construction is one of the most modern methods. One of the first tilt-up projects was built in 1908. With it's utilization of cranes to lift slabs into place it has grown in popularity. The slabs used for construction are formed on-site, using custom concrete form work and enforced with shoring when lifted into their position. This method eliminates the need for large components to be shipped, which could be expensive and time consuming. Tilt-up methods integrate architectural features into the form, which could save considerable labor hours in additional construction. Tilt-up construction is considered by many construction industry professionals to the fastest and most cost effective concrete erection methods.
  
  
  
  Office buildings and other large buildings can be constructed in a much shorter amount of time. Steel construction takes much longer to complete, and requires a large crew to finish. Wood framing is much less durable than concrete, and also takes longer to complete. Other methods of concrete erection are very time consuming, and most methods end up with inconsistent results. Pre-cast concrete will provide consistent results, but it is considerably more expensive due mostly to the need for shipping. Pre-cast also doesn't allow for integration of features such as doorways or windows, those would have to be added in as construction proceeds.
  
  Construction professionals using the tilt-up method will find a complete support system when they use a top rated supplies such as A.H. Harris Construction Supplies.
