COMMERCIAL SUBCONTRACTOR NEW YORK & NEW JERSEY
Prefabricated cold-formed steel wall panels set by crane, plumbed, braced and tied to the floor system, one level at a time.
Or call (973) 392-4979
Panelized load-bearing walls move a lot of the framing work off the site. Wall panels are built in a shop, delivered in sequence and set by crane, which lets a mid-rise building climb one floor at a time on a steady cycle. We install panelized cold-formed steel wall systems for multifamily, mixed-use and hospitality buildings across New York and New Jersey.
The speed only shows up if the installation is clean. Panels have to land on layout, be plumbed and braced, and be tied to the floor system so the next level can start. That is the part we focus on: a predictable floor cycle the general contractor can build a schedule around.

How it works
A short, predictable sequence the GC can plan around.
Wall lines are laid out on the deck from the panel drawings so every panel has a place to land.
Panels arrive in the order they go up and are picked straight from the truck when the site allows it.
Each panel is plumbed, braced and connected to its neighbors and to the floor as the drawings specify.
With walls connected, the floor system goes on top and the cycle repeats on the next level.
On a panelized job the schedule is really a repeating cycle: layout, walls, floor, next level. One slow floor pushes every trade above it. Our crews are organized to keep that cycle steady, with enough people on the deck on crane days so picks are not wasted.
Quality shows up in the walls being plumb and on line. That makes life easier for the drywall, window and facade trades later, and it avoids the rework that eats schedule at the end of a job.
