The site-framing problem
Your crews should be finishing houses, not framing them.
Framing on site ties up skilled labour for weeks, exposes the structure to weather and makes the schedule depend on conditions you don't control. A factory-built shell moves that work indoors, but only if the supplier is one you can rely on.
Weeks of framing on site
Structure exposed to weather
Scarce, expensive site labour
Uncertainty with a new supplier
Offer
One supplier for the whole shell. Your team for everything inside.
Large elements, fewer joints
Whole wall sections mean fewer joints and fewer lifts on site.
Delivered or assembled
Choose delivery only or on-site assembly for each project.

File exchange
PDF, DWG and IFC via secure upload. Drawings are stored privately and only our project engineers can access them. Production starts only from drawings you have approved.
A CE mark alone does not demonstrate compliance of the complete building. We map the required documentation and interfaces for each project.
Verification
Don't take our word for quality. See the records.
Every element is checked for dimensions, squareness and moisture before it leaves the factory, and the signed records travel with the delivery.
