LIFTbuild® begins by challenging every traditional industry paradigm from project inception through owner occupancy and operation of a high performing facility. The manufacturing industry has experienced significant productivity, quality and innovation improvements over the past twenty years. LIFTbuild began through adopting a manufacturing systems approach to the entire design, procurement and assembly process for building construction. This vertical manufacturing approach allows us to reduce complexity, increases assembly efficiency and minimizes variability in the delivery process. To achieve the necessary delivery performance improvements, our approach transforms three key areas of needed change: assembly process, manufacturing logistics and supply chain. LIFTbuild® utilizes patent-pending approaches to the entire assembly process of vertical construction. The building structure consists of concrete structural spines and steel-framed decks for roof and floors. All deck assembly is done at ground level. Once the deck has been assembled, the exterior façade and selected system are installed. Prefabricated sub-assemblies are placed prior to the completed floor deck assembly being raised and locked into its final position. The fit-out is accomplished in a fully-enclosed and conditioned space while the floors below continue to be built. This maximizes potential savings on schedule and budget while providing a safe and productive work environment.
