Tilt-up and precast construction panels

A construction panel comprising:

• a first layer of concrete;
• a first insulating core positioned adjacent to the first layer of concrete;
• a second layer of concrete positioned adjacent to the first insulating core;
• a second insulating core positioned adjacent to the second layer of concrete;
• a third layer of concrete positioned adjacent to the second insulating core;
• and
• a grid body embedded in the first layer of concrete, the first insulating core, the second layer of concrete, the second insulating core, and the third layer of concrete.

A method of providing a construction panel comprising:

• a first layer of concrete;
• a first insulating core positioned adjacent to the first layer of concrete;
• a second layer of concrete positioned adjacent to the first insulating core;
• a second insulating core positioned adjacent to the second layer of concrete;
• a third layer of concrete positioned adjacent to the second insulating core;
• and
• a grid body embedded in the first layer of concrete, the first insulating core, the second layer of concrete, the second insulating core, and the third layer of concrete,
• the method comprising:
• building a form defining a perimeter of the construction panel;
• pouring the first layer of concrete into the form;
• laying the first insulating core on the first layer of concrete before the first layer of concrete sets, ensuring that a first portion of the grid body coupled to the first insulating core becomes embedded in the first layer of concrete;
• pouring the second layer of concrete into the form over the first insulating core;
• laying the second insulating core on the second layer of concrete before the second layer of concrete sets, ensuring that a second portion of the grid body coupled to the second insulating core becomes embedded in the second layer of concrete;
• pouring the third layer of concrete over the second insulating core;
• and
• allowing each of the first layer of concrete, the second layer of concrete, and the third layer of concrete to cure.
