This is when they build a concrete bldg, by pouring the walls laying flat on the ground and when they have set up they will hook to them with a crane and tilt them up in place.

In Tilt-wall construction, the pour concrete wall sections on the ground, or the building's floor. The section is poured with one edge just inside the building's concrete foundation. After the section drys and cures (gets hard), the section is tilted up into place to form a section of wall. It is the secured in place by welding steel tabs they included in the wall fastening the panels to each other and temporary braces. Once the steel ceiling supports are in place, other steel plates in the wall section are welded to the framework.
This technique is used mostly for building warehouses.
