The conventional approach to construction is full of inefficiencies that contribute to a significant decline in productivity.
The construction industry has seen a 40% drop in productivity since 1970, largely due to the inability to efficiently convert materials into finished products. Paired with an unprecedented labor shortage, the industry is in dire need of a better way to build.
At LIFTbuild, we’ve created the future of high-rise construction by reimagining how projects are designed and built. We’re leaning into a manufacturing environment and taking high-rise and skyscraper construction to new heights.
Redefining Skyscraper Construction
Drawing from the ingenuity of the automotive assembly line, the manufacturing environment is at the heart of LIFTbuild’s approach from design through construction. With Vertical Manufacturing®, there are limitless opportunities to take advantage of standardization. LIFTbuild integrates manufacturing principles to streamline workflows and reduce inefficiencies on-site, enabling fast-track construction for even the most complex tall buildings.
LIFTbuild’s benefits are maximized in buildings 12 stories or higher in the multi-family, mixed-use, hospitality, office, healthcare, and technology/research markets. By reimagining skyscraper design and construction through a manufacturing approach, LIFTbuild is setting a new standard for speed, safety, and efficiency in the built environment.
A Member of the Barton Malow Family of Companies
LIFTbuild was established by Barton Malow to reinvent the decades-old “top down” system into a cohesive approach based on improved safety, efficient manufacturing principles, and advanced technology. Research and development efforts have resulted in 15+ U.S. Patents, which protect LIFTbuild’s unique means and methods.
After initial R&D efforts, design of the first proof of concept began. The project – Exchange Residential Tower – demonstrated LIFTbuild’s ability to increase safety, quality, and speed-to-market and provided valuable lessons learned for future applications, propelling us forward to continue to transform how the world is built.
As an entity within the Barton Malow Family of Companies, LIFTbuild has the strength, resources, and operating structure for continued development and success.
