The winners this year demonstrate the tremendous variety and versatility of Tilt-Up as construction method. One of the winners for 2000 is not even a new building. It was an adaptive reuse of an existing Tilt-Up structure from a warehouse to an office building.

Each year, TCA honors projects that show outstanding achievement in Tilt-Up construction. 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.

Emphasis is placed on projects that introduce new building types utilizing Tilt-Up concrete methods, advance industry technology, or provide a unique solution to a building problem. The competition is limited to projects completed between October 1, 1998, and October 1, 1999.

Entries are judged by a group of architects, engineers and contractors who are active in the industry. Four criteria are considered: quality of construction, aesthetic appeal, creativity of structural and architectural design, and unique application or end use.
