• Clients Benefits:
  Speed to Market – Reduce Framing schedule by up to 50% (saving 2 weeks per level off the schedule)
  · Reduction in Project Costs – Significant reduction in onsite labor, waste and carrying cost
  · Light gauge steel is 1/4 the weight of wood – reduction in foundation concrete
  · Non – Combustible – Reduction in fire insurance up to 75% reduction per year
  · Sustainable product – 80% from recycled material and 100% of waste is recyclable = Leed Points
  · Cleaner and safer job site – No cost for scrap haul away = reduction in trash container haul off
  · Increased site mobility – Smaller crews to install, less material storage space required -Less exposure
  · Faster and more efficient for MEP – MEP penetrations and framing can be prepared in the factory
• Financial Benefits:
  Lower initial cost – labor & materials, lower foundation cost
  · 60% of the framing labor occurs in the Factory – Factory Labor vs. Field Labor means significant reduction in labor costs
  · 75% Reduction in Course of Construction Insurance and Long-Term fire insurance
  · Cost of the removal of framing waste is eliminated
• Speed to Market:
  Framing schedule reduce by as much as 50%
  ·Avoid weather delays
• Panels are constructed, stacked per project sequence and in order, while the foundation is being poured and ready for installation upon concrete cure.
• Lower Long Term operating cost:
  Energy benefits – less energy consumption
  · No settlement or movement due to shrinking unlike lumber
  · Lower insurance costs
  · Revenues are achieved faster due to the reduced construction schedule
  · Land values are optimized by the ability to utilize more building square footage on the same footprint. ABS is structurally approved for up to 11 story high construction.
