Paperless on the Job
Unfinished buildings and inclement weather have traditionally proved challenging for the commercial construction arena. Open buildings can easily collect moisture in areas that shouldn’t have any, incurring costly delays and increasing the chances for mold growth.
Building with paperless products yields important benefits during the construction cycle, improving scheduling of deliveries and work crews.

Paperless products go medical
While moisture and mold can be an issue in any public building, in a large medial center that issue can assume critical importance. Building with paperless products has proven to be instrumental in compressing the design-build cycle, while reducing the risk of remediation when building in high-humidity regions. With exposure warranties, building with paperless products provides greater flexibility when constructing exterior skins, as well as completing interior drywall application before the building is dried in.

Paperless products go to school
Building schools, dorms and classrooms in high humidity regions of the country can be problematic; especially since untimely construction delays impact both budgets and taxpayers. In addition, studies have shown that air quality has a direct impact on student performance. Building with paperless products helps both architects and builders meet tight scheduling and budget constraints, while allowing local authorities to claim good stewardship of tax dollars.

Paperless products go hospitality
In hotels, resorts, casinos and other entertainment facilities, a small design flaw in a prototype may be multiplied repeatedly in production. Hospitality facilities have unique problems with the venting of multiple baths and laundry facilities, not to mention saunas and steam rooms, kitchens and even large atriums with plantings or fountains.
