Pre-cut drywall is the cutting of drywall so it's ready to install when it gets to site. Using digital measurement, software to optimise sheet usage, and CNC cutting, we pre-cut every sheet for you.
The drywall is delivered with everything cut: power points, windows, and pipework, with the waste left in the factory.
Sure thing. Currently we're focused on the Waikato region, but we'll shortly roll this out nationally, so contact us and have a conversation.
A typical 3-bedroom house takes 2 hours to measure, replacing the quantity survey. The cutting process takes 3 hours for a typical house.
There is virtually no time between the measure and cutting, as the software automatically creates the cutting solution; you can have production cutting the house while it is still being measured onsite.
Through trials, the savings are typically 30% and above. This varies depending on the type of house and the experience of the installer.
This comes from a combination of having sheets pre-cut and from site-based logistics: having stacks of sheets in the correct install order and not dealing with waste onsite.
Through digital optimisation, the waste produced is reduced by approximately 30%.
This varies by house type and the quality of the installer's manual quantity survey that is replaced. The additional benefit is that waste is captured at the factory. The waste captured is returned to the manufacturing plant for recycling back into new board.
At this stage, EC8; we do the measure as part of the package. All we need is where your bracing elements are, and we'd like to have any cavity sliders, shower trays, and power sockets all installed pre-measure.
Yes, we only work with GIB at this stage. We supply it and match your current merchant rates.
A typical 3-bed house is normally under $800 + GST + waste charge. We promise it's very competitive when you factor in less material used and time saved onsite.
Yes; however, we typically do a garage-based drop for most houses rather than a full unstack. We have options if you don’t have a garage or if you have multi-storey townhouse projects.
Yes. Although the technology typically suits small-room projects like rest homes, apartments, hospitals, etc., rather than 20m+ walled open areas.
We work with a major manufacturer to send the waste back to the factory and recycle it back into new board. This is the best solution for managing drywall waste.
We're already very accurate, but mistakes do happen. We cover any errors by supplying replacement sheets when we come and pick up the pallets, so you don't lose any time.
