To speak about Tiltwall and Tilt-up, we mean to the same construction process with concrete panels. In this process, panels are made in the same place to the work. This method has as advantage that concrete panels can be manufactured to larger scale and volume, because they don’t need transportation; although, it has as disadvantage that must be applied in stable weather, for not difficult, curing the concrete panels. In The precast concrete building process, contrary to the previous, the panels are made before in a factory. This method takes them away from negative aspects of weather change, but, it generate transport expenses and also the panels must be smaller for ease of transportation
