Advantages of Wood Construction
- Guaranteed quality of construction
- Greater speed of construction, a few weeks versus a few
months
- Extremely energy efficient for heating and cooling
- Any plan can be built, yours or ours
- Homes are comfortable and healthy to live in, using wood
floors reduces causes of allergies as well as illness
- Durable and long lasting, homes will last for centuries to
come
- Homes are built from sustainable materials, we plant more
trees than we cut down every year
- Any exterior can be used, brick, stone, stucco, pvc, wood
siding etc.
- Reduces resource use in the manufacture of the wood
components - less energy and water used to produce the wood
materials than concrete or steel
- Minimizes air and water pollution in the manufacture of wood
products compared to concrete and steel
- Reduces environmental impacts in manufacturing
- Lower green house gas emissions producing wood than steel or
concrete
- Lower solid waste by-products than steel or concrete
- Wood can be recycled, reclaimed wood from decommissioned
buildings can be used in new buildings

The Payback on Panels
Advantages of Wall Panels
A way to build better and faster - what's not to like? Builders
are finding there’s a lot to like when building with advanced panel
systems.
Panelized wall systems are prefabricated building panels that form a
structural envelope for the home, eliminating the need for
conventional wood framing. Panelized systems can be assembled
on-site faster with less skilled laborers.
Through the ease and speed of assembly, wall and roof systems
can be built in days, rather than weeks. The faster construction
time also greatly reduces the chance of theft and bad weather
creating construction delays. Because most of the cutting is done in
a remote factory, the builder has to deal with much less waste on
site.
- 30% less costly than stick framing at a site.
- 20% to 25% less lumber waste.
- 10% to 30% less lumber pilferage.
- 40% to 75% better quality.
- More homes for framers who end up making more money and
greater profits.
- Less skilled workers at the site with wall panels help
reduce costs.
- Better quality lumber because stock is less exposed to the
elements.
- Less costly for all trades that follow framing because
dimensions are true, walls are plumb and square.
- Less dangerous job-site conditions with less refuse.
- Less costly cleanup at the project’s completion.
- Less costly construction loans and draws as projects are
completed 20% to 50% faster.
- Faster occupancy to the financial benefit of the ultimate
buyers.
- Superior quality for the ultimate customers which enhances
the builder’s reputation with all concerned parties.
