What has been the most challenging project you have worked on during your time at Tilt?
“Throughout my 4 years at Tilt, Phoenix Central Park certainly extends above the bar as a proud and rewarding achievement for all of our team!
The project elements Tilt delivered required a high level of accuracy and a very high standard of finish. On an installation level, all the elements were extremely heavy and entirely constructed prior to installation onsite.

We worked around numerous trades.
The planned execution in the early stages of the project, including multiple site inspections, allowed a seamless execution for every bespoke product delivered.
Ben resonates when conducting maintenance visits at Phoenix Central Park “While the finished product is really beautiful, the structure and process that is now hidden in the walls were unbelievably detailed. “
