Topping-out ceremony

A Topping-out ceremony is a traditional event held when the last beam or structural element is placed on a building under construction. This ceremony marks a significant milestone, symbolizing the transition from the skeletal framework to the final stages of construction. Often accompanied by festivities, it celebrates the efforts of the construction team, architects, and stakeholders. A tree or a flag is frequently placed atop the structure during this event, signifying growth and good fortune. Whether it's a modern skyscraper or a traditional structure, the Topping-out ceremony fosters a sense of accomplishment and community pride.
