Has anyone else done a tilt up for a house??? I have a mate who builds them in industrial areas and its got me thinking about using a tilt up type construction for a tri level house.
I have seen some better looking efforts in industrial areas recently and it appeals to me as cheaper and quicker way to go forward. Effectively Id be building a box with built in patios. The ground level would be all garaging a 6-8 car garage with toilet and shower and a two car garage seperated by a lobby/entrance, the second floor all open plan living/lounge/kitchen/toilet etc with a L-shaped mesanine 3rd floor with 4 bedrooms with master ensuite and another bathroom.
With keeping costs in mind I have had some ideas:
Some walls would be left raw concrete as I like the look.
All but one of the toliets/bathrooms would be in vertical alignment thus reducing plumbing costs.
The open planning of the 1st two levels should reduce materials.
Plumbing and wiring the slab in the big garage so it can be converted to a granny flat later on.
Any other ideas I should incorporate into it? Views on construction methodology. Pictures of cool features you have seen on industrial tilt up???
Thanks.
