As with all other products, the larger volume in sales drastically reduces the costs. Everyone that has made comments on this subject have spoken to individual ways that bring the costs down. The key is folding all those ideas and practices into one. Fabrication company's can accomplish that incorporation as their focus is to do volume sales and they put all those ideas in practice in the field. The sales volume allows a fabrication company to get very inventive in pricing structures for each individual project. If you take a serious look at how ED Stahl looks at the entire scope of a panel project, it is not difficult to get within a few dollars of the old dinosauer framing practices. I don't mean to beat up an old arguement, but when you're talking about trying to compare stick frame with panel construction, it can't be done. Panel construction is an investment in the future. We've all done the cost comparing showing that panel construction at the front end appears to be more expensive. Even in those higher costs, you can show the client how that investment pays off within a 3 to 5 year period. After the pay off period the home begins making the owner money. I know of few other structures that can prove that out. Jt Clarke and Ed Stahl both have a good handle on the huge labor savings. I go on and on and on.
As an expanding Fabrication company, we compete easily with dinosauer construction.
