Installing panelized wall systems is a streamlined, efficient process—but if you’ve never worked with them before, it helps to know what to expect. At EdgeBuilder, we make the transition from traditional framing to panelized construction as smooth as possible by providing pre-assembled, clearly labeled panels designed for quick and accurate installation.
Delivery and Staging
The process begins with delivery. Our wall panels are bundled and labeled according to the installation sequence, making them easy to identify and move to their proper location on the job site. Bundles are secured for safe transport and offloading, helping crews avoid damage and delays.
Site Preparation
Before installation begins, the foundation must be properly prepared, level, and square. Accurate measurements are critical, as the panels are manufactured to precise dimensions. Once the base is ready, installation can proceed quickly and efficiently.
Installation Process
Installation typically begins with corner panels and progresses in the planned sequence. Since the panels are pre-framed, there’s no need to measure and cut individual studs or headers on-site. Each panel is simply lifted into place, aligned, and fastened.
Crews benefit from a simplified framing process, with fewer decisions to make in the field and less room for error. Most projects see significant time savings during this phase, allowing trades like electricians and HVAC teams to begin interior work sooner.
Coordination with Other Trades
Because panelized systems reduce the framing timeline, it’s important to coordinate closely with other subcontractors. Communicate early and often to ensure that plumbing, electrical, and mechanical work can begin on schedule once the shell is enclosed.
Support from the EdgeBuilder Team
Our team remains available throughout the installation to provide guidance, troubleshoot issues, and ensure a smooth experience. We also offer resources and tips for framers new to panelized systems, making it easier to adapt to this modern method of construction.
By understanding what to expect and planning accordingly, contractors can take full advantage of the speed, accuracy, and labor savings that panelized wall systems offer. With EdgeBuilder’s support, switching to panelized construction is a smart move that pays off on day one.
