Short lead times, labor shortages and unpredictable weather can cause significant delays and cost overruns when relying on traditional on-site construction methods for panelized buildings, residential homes or other projects. To avoid these issues, an increasing number of manufacturers are choosing to step away from the traditional on-site process and into a more consistent, flexible approach with panelized components.
At Panels Plus, we’ve been fabricating panelized wall panel and floor cassette equipment in our U.S. facility for more than 20 years. Our mission is to provide the highest quality equipment and service to the Building Component Industry. Our qualified team of experts will walk you through every step of the way to ensure a seamless incorporation of panelized equipment into your operations.
This blog marks the first out of our series on “Foundations of Panelized Construction,” where we dig into the details of what exactly panelized building is while walking you through every step of the process – from layout planning and production expectations to expected investment and ROI on panelizing equipment. Follow this series as we answer frequently asked questions about implementing and optimizing solutions from Panels Plus.
What is Panelized Construction?
Panelized construction is a building method, where components of a building, such as walls and floors are pre-fabricated in a factory and transported to the construction site. Using this approach for prefabricated components versus the traditional method of on-site “stick-built” construction often saves customers more time, money, and energy to further amp up their productivity.
Why are Builders Moving Towards Panelizing Equipment?
Instead of worrying about factors that are out of their control, builders that optimize panelized construction can instead focus more on the positive outcomes and less on uncontrollable factors that negatively affect production timelines. With Panels Plus, our customers gain production output that is consistent, efficient, and scalable – regardless of weather delays, skilled labor or other on-site complications.
With the right equipment in hand, builders can achieve more resiliency to challenges presented by the skilled labor shortage, workplace injuries, or unpredicted delays in production. Our machines deliver the reliability and repeatability needed to meet modern manufacturing demands with confidence. Our equipment is built to support construction manufacturers and skilled carpenters to keep production times moving without ever sacrificing quality.
