Pre Fabricated Wall Systems
Pre Fabricated Wall Systems By choosing pre fabricated wall systems, you can effectively reduce costs associated with labour, time and site waste. They provide builders with a chance to gain a competitive edge, higher profit margins and faster cycle times for construction.
“
We just received and installed a package of pre-fab walls from Victoria Truss and everything went together very well. All of the panels were constructed with quality and they were all very square and true, which made installation fast and easy.
Real Savings • On-site labour required: 20-25% • Building construction schedule (framing stage): 35% • Onsite materials theft (of wall materials): 100% • Framing refuse: 75%
