Inside a high-performance panelization project
How to install a window in a panelized wall with exterior insulation? It’s all in a day’s work for Cape Cod Panel who partnered with Mullen Building and Remodeling on a recent high-performance condo project. Get a behind-the-scenes peek in this tour led by Tyler Grace and Nick Schiffer of the Modern Craftsman podcast.
The takeaway: Panelization helps improve quality control, maximize efficiency, minimize waste, and enable labor to be done in a sheltered, controlled environment. “It really eliminates that ‘hey, we’ll figure it out in the field’ mentality,” as Schiffer said. By reducing the errors commonly associated with field production, it also streamlines the installation process for windows and doors resulting in greater efficiency and accuracy.
Keep reading for three key takeaways from this project and links to resources that could help your next project — whether you’re panelizing or using traditional stick framing.
