Raising the roof is cool again

In popular culture, it hasn’t been cool to “raise the roof” since the late 1990s. But one company is trying to start a new, very literal “raise the roof” trend in the AEC industry.

That company is Upbrella Construction (upbrella.com), and the trend is to build the roof of a structure early in the construction process, and then raise it up as the building progresses.

This alternative process for building tall concrete or steel buildings consists of a mobile permanent roof, a roof lifting mechanism, a protective enclosure, and a high-capacity hoist.
