New Way Construction Wall Panelization

Why it's better for you and your home:

Panelized walls are generally straighter and more accurately built than those framed on-site which results in fewer nail-pops, ceiling and corner cracks in the finished drywall, and windows and doors fit better which means they won’t stick or need constant adjustments.

Some of the other benefits of construction with panelized walls include less mess, reduced waste and clean-up at the job site, and better job-site security because panelized walls are of little use to thieves and simply hard to steal.

Finally, the quality of construction is simply superior to stick-built framing. All components are manufactured to strict building standards & codes, and easily and thoroughly inspected every step of the way.

Wall Panelization is not pre-fabrication. Each home built is unique, and doesn’t fall off of an assembly line. Wall Panelization is simply a faster, better, more-precise method of house framing that saves time and money during construction and results in a better finished product afterward.

New Way Construction uses a process called Wall Panelization to build your home.

What this means is that the walls of your home are built off-site in an indoor facility and brought on-site to be erected in less time and with better quality than usually achieved through conventional "stick" framing.

How it works:

First, the blueprints for your home are re-created in a sophisticated computer program. This is not just CAD (Computer Aided Drafting/Design). When your blueprints are created in this particular software, not only are the plans (walls, floors, door and window locations, etc.) defined, but every single individual piece of framing lumber is identified, measured, defined and labeled.

Once this complete, highly detailed, 3-dimensional plan for your home construction is completed, the information is sent electronically to a computerized saw which cuts all of the framing pieces out of full-size lumber fresh from the mill. Of course, the computer calculates the best cuts possible out of the full-size lumber pieces, so waste is kept to a minimum, and with the computer controlling the length each board is cut to, dimensions are accurate, straight and consistent.

The cut lumber is then laid out to be framed on squared construction tables where experienced framing carpenters assemble the components into wall frames and apply sheathing.

All of this happens indoors, in a climate-controlled facility where weather has no impact on the quality of framing construction that results. Because the wood is properly stored away from the elements there is less warping, shrinking, twisting or rotting. And because the work is being done in a comfortable shirt-sleeve environment, there are never any short-cuts taken, such as leaving out that one important nail that would have prevented a twisted door frame, for example, forgotten simply because the work was being done in the middle of winter and the worker was anxious to get back inside.

Once the interior and exterior walls have all been constructed, they are stacked in the order that they will be assembled, and labeled inside and out with a specific number. The number corresponds to a printed construction plan that accompanies the finished panels. The stacks are bound together and labelled so that they can be transported intact to the job site where they can be assembled in record time. As a result, the time period necessary to frame the home is substantially reduced, and labour costs are lowered as well.
