Cost Control
- Fixed pricing: with the digital 3D model comes a cost model. Input costs for all materials in a build and have a full breakdown of the build cost. Cost of materials change? No problem, price updates instantly cascade across the project, updating the overall cost.
- Reduce cost on L.O.A.: By fabricating most parts in the factory you reduce the time required on site. From months on site to as little as days, your crew will spend more time at home, and cost you less in travel time.
quality Control
- Resolve construction challenges at design time. Build the house digitally before making it reality. Avoid contingencies and change orders by identifying difficult or impossible build conditions, and simplifying.
- Detailed panel construction drawings and full install instructions make it easy to ensure everything goes as planned, efficiently.
- Using manufacturing processes allows you to easily control all conditions of the build. Checklists and visual inspections in your factory make sure that your product is always to your quality standards.
scalability
- Question: How many houses can you build in a year?
Answer: How many do you need?
Easily scale your operation to any size, from bespoke mom and pop shop to giga-factory. The digital model makes it easy to streamline any size factory, from cost to procedures. - Build anywhere: panels can be delivered by truck, boat, or even helicopter for extreme remote builds. Easily and quickly set up satellite shops, or franchises anywhere – the panel model is a rubber stamp for operations.
factory conditions
- Keep your employees working year round. Weather is no longer a factor in constructions, you can build any time and store panels until site conditions are right for installation.
- The fabrication process can be done indoors, keeping you and your staff comfortable. Happy employees are productive employees, keep them dry and smiling.
speed
- Spend less time worrying about and babysitting your site, and more time focusing on your clients needs. Reduced time on site keeps you and your employees closer to home more often.
- Employ automation to further decrease build time. Not a fan of people? CNC machines can automate much, if not all of the build process.
what is a panel system?
Rather than framing your structure on site, the building is divided into panels. Each panel is fabricated in a factory and shipped to site for final assembly. The panels can be customized to your construction style and local regulations. This takes your building from foundation stage to lockup in days, rather than months, vastly reducing site time.
i am new to panel systems
Whether you are starting a new construction outfit, or are converting your business to factory construction, we can guide you through the process of creating your own panel system. We are experts in the CSA A277 standard for factory built homes across Canada, and will work with municipalities and governing bodies to set up emerging panel construction businesses across the globe. We can help you build your system, ensure it complies with local regulations, and set up your assembly line and logistics. We also offer a full range of design services, from conceptual design to full construction drawings.
I have a panel system
If you already have a panel system up and running we can work with your system and provide design services from conceptual design to construction drawings. We can also help with logistics and site coordination. As a full service organization we can fill in the gaps, so you can focus on your passion for construction.
