Picked precast concrete panels over tilt-up for a warehouse job in Tulsa last month

Went with precast because the timeline was tighter, but now the panel joints are showing more than I expected anyone seen similar issues with precast vs tilt-up?

Precast joints are always going to be more visible than tilt-up because you're dealing with multiple separate panels instead of one continuous pour. With tilt-up, you get longer wall sections and fewer seams, so the joints blend better. If you wanted a cleaner look, tilt-up was probably the safer choice for that building.

@kai_brown23 yeah my buddy had a precast job where the seams looked way worse than expected lol.
