How We Work

One team. Concept to completion.

Working with TILT means a seamless, supported journey from first conversation to final installation. Every step is carefully managed to add value, reduce risk and keep projects moving with clarity and confidence.

01

Pre-Construction & Technical Guidance

Upfront facade guidance that de-risks projects through technical validation, commercial insight and buildable concept development — before a single sheet is cut.

02

Coordinated Facade Design

Fully coordinated facade design with manufacture and installation efficiencies in mind, delivering an approved, build-ready package with defined gateway control.

03

Offsite Manufacture

Designed for programme gain — combining rigorous QA, trusted supply chain management and right-first-time delivery to site. Built in our Cape Town workshop.

04

Specialist Installation

Delivered by the same experts who design and manufacture, ensuring continuity and quality from concept to completion. No handover risk. No surprises.

Common Questions

Questions architects and developers actually ask us.

Straight answers. No sales fluff. If your question isn’t here, our team is.

Ask Us Anything →

Do you do the full job — design, fabricate and install?

Yes — TILT manages the full scope in-house. From initial concept and shop drawings through to manufacture at our Cape Town facility and installation on site. No subcontracting, no dropped handovers.

How long does a typical project take from order to install?

Lead times depend on project scale and complexity. Most residential projects run 4–6 weeks from order to installation. Large commercial projects typically require 8–12 weeks. We confirm timelines at quote stage and hold to them.

Can you create custom patterns, or are you limited to a catalogue?

Fully custom — no minimum order. Send us a sketch, a reference image or a mood board and our in-house design team develops the pattern from your brief. We’ve built screens from hand-drawn sketches and from fully detailed CAD packages. Both work.

Do you provide NBS-style specification clauses for architects?

Yes. We provide full specification support for architects and QSs — including itemised BOQs, NBS-style specification clauses, material samples and technical data sheets. We can attend design team meetings and provide written input at any stage.

What’s your BEE status?

TILT is a Level 4 B-BBEE contributor with full procurement recognition value. Our B-BBEE certificate is available on request.

Do you work outside Cape Town and South Africa?

Yes. We manufacture in Cape Town and install nationally. We’ve delivered projects in Johannesburg, Durban, the Garden Route and into sub-Saharan Africa. Cross-border logistics is handled by our team.
