The Advantages of Using Wall Panels

 

1. Each component is designed specifically for your building.
2. Each component location is defined, with placement plans generated, picking up all bearing locations and showing correct locations, for easy setting. Wall panels are marked accordingly, making components easy to use on site.
3. Engineering with component software makes craftsmanship easy and gives you design flexibility.
4. Components are rarely stolen from the jobsite.
5. Wall lumber use can be optimized, with studs designed at optimum spacing for the applied roof and floor truss loads. Generally, less lumber is required.
6. High quality materials are chosen according to your specifications and budget.
7. Walls are square.
8. Proper nailing patterns are used.
9. Studs and headers are designed to support applied loads.
10. Sheathing is applied in the factory, saving time on site.

 

Not only do the test results and facts point towards using manufactured components, but so do the builders and framers who use them. We work with several contractors and framers that have switched from traditional stick building to component building due to the huge savings in time and overall costs.
