Panelizing & Pre-Building
Panelizing has become a very effective and efficient way to construct a sturdy, well-built shell. In our shop, experienced panelizers pre-build walls using this construction method, and install exterior sheathing on the walls. In the shop we also pre-build staircases, dormers, fireplace chases, decks and porch floors and fly rafters for assembly on-site. We cut and assemble bearing beams, and pre-cut all rim sheathing and insulation. Before any project is started in the panel shop, we conduct a complete plan review, checking such items as bearing points, truss lengths, door and window openings and rough openings for cabinetry to ensure that the building process goes smoothly and accurately.
