Constructing buildings from the top down isn't a new concept. LIFTbuild has re-engineered this aged construction methodology and created a more holistic approach to the project life cycle.

Formation of LIFTbuild

A member of the Barton Malow Family of Companies, LIFTbuild was established in 2017 to meet the organization’s goal of doubling efficiency. Understanding that the construction industry lags behind in innovation, Barton Malow invested in reinventing 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 technological and delivery-focused means and methods. Learn more about the process.

Proof of Concept

In 2020, LIFTbuild began the initial design of its first project, Exchange, to serve as its proof of concept of the proprietary manufacturing approach. By early 2023, the project demonstrated LIFTbuild’s ability to increase safety, quality, and speed-to-market. Our first application at the Exchange project validated the findings of LIFTbuild’s research, development, and testing, propelling us forward to transform how the world is built.
