Framing is an early critical path activity in all major building projects and accounts for approximately 18-20% of every project budget. The US wood framing industry is currently a $23B market and steel framing is $11B market with no national market leaders.
Framing is losing productivity at a rate of nearly 3.5% annually, in large part due to the shortage of experienced framing labor. Solving the framing productivity problem, then, depends heavily on solving the framing labor issue. In light of the overall labor shortage and the disproportionate impact on construction and framing in particular, automation and innovation must be incorporated into the framing industry to achieve acceptable productivity.
NVO’s model is revolutionary for the category because it:
- Concentrates on the framing process, including wall panels and trusses
- Accommodates all common design standards and materials for single- and multi-family, light industrial, senior living, educational housing and more
- Generates bids for full framing packages, including onsite installation by NVO framing affiliates
- Utilizes our 75,000 square foot factory to build components without interruption due to weather and without the waste and onsite mess of stick framing, allowing NVO to pre-build for accelerated project completion
NVO’s 75,000 square foot manufacturing facility utilizes state-of-the-art automation to design and manufacture roof trusses, floor trusses and wall panels with exceptional speed, while ensuring incomparable precision and quality.
