Industrialization in building construction is divided into; Field method, Tilt-up method and Lift-up method depending on the applications. Tilt-up method, popular in the USA and Canada, has been developed primarily for low-rise structures such as factories, supermarkets, warehouses, churches, office buildings and town houses. Since its introduction to construction industry in the early 20th century, the Tilt-up method has been gaining acceptance through out the world. The advantages of Tilt-up over the other construction methods are; reduction of the construction period, fire prevention and cost savings. Even with these advantages, the application of Tilt-up in domestic construction industry is minimal. In this study, the wall panels for a detached house were designed and presented. Efforts were made to devide the building wall into proper sections and fabricate them in multi-layers on the building floor. Special considerations are given on panel layout to accommodate the maximum number of panels in this confined area and simplifying the erection sequences of the panels to fit the heavy lifting equipment used.
