St. Ignatius - Figure 2

The project started off as a load bearing masonry wall with granite veneer panels. We could not bring this system in budget, so with the input from the Contractor, we changed the wall system to tilt wall construction. A wall system usually reserved for low budget warehouse construction. But, the architect conceived a stained finish for the exterior expression in lieu of granite veneer that he was satisfied with.

We combined the architectural elevations and the Contractor’s preferred maximum size pre-cast panel and located the panel joints in a manner that seemed to accomplish the desires of both the architect and the contractor.
