North Valley Frameworks Inc. Price Advantage
Are pre-framed components really cheaper? The Wood Truss Council of America
sponsored a
project
in which they built two identical houses, one with traditional stick framing and
one with pre-framed components. Their experience was that prebuilding the components
reduced man-hours on the job site by an amazing 253 hours. Erecting the components took
less than half of the time it took to stick-frame the house.
The overall savings in their study were about 16% of the cost to stick-frame the
house, but we feel they may have missed an opportunity for even greater savings. Our
CNC saw optimizes cuts to reduce
wood waste. In our experience, we can save you money on both material and labour
costs.
