Thank you for Subscribing to Construction Business Review Weekly Brief
Paul Marchesani, Vice PresidentA frontrunner in the burgeoning construction space, Panelized Building Solutions (PBS) assists clients in expediting their building processes through its end-to-end framing proficiency and commitment to enhancing overall build quality. When engaging with builders, PBS leverages its lumber procurement, vast framing expertise and the largest fleet of rotating handlers to consistently deliver on the promise of timely and efficient fabrication, construction and assembly.
“Unlike traditional and fragmented approaches, we offer a turnkey solution spanning engineering, design, lumber procurement and installation to simplify and accelerate the construction process,” says Paul Marchesani, vice president of Panelized Building Solutions.
The cornerstone of its operations is the innovative panelized approach, which involves constructing homes in panels within a factory setting before delivering the pre-fabricated components to the site and assembling the final house. By manufacturing components in a controlled environment, PBS minimizes waste and optimizes material usage. Compared to traditional stick framing, where onsite factors like weather, theft and human error contribute to significant waste, its panelized approach offers a greener alternative sought after by environmentally-conscious builders.
Equally crucial to PBS’ success is the expertise of its workforce. Comprising diverse professionals, including seasoned architects, engineers, skilled framers and supervisors, the company possesses the depth of experience needed to consistently surpass client expectations on every project.
Its dedicated team of eight expert panel designers combines their skill sets with the efficiency offered by the MiTek Sapphire program to deliver value and cost savings. These professionals use inline framing and value engineering techniques while constantly communicating with the builders to provide improvement ideas and recommendations during the design phase. This is a game-changer for builders as it enables them to make flexible design changes without compromising on the quality or structural integrity of the houses.
Flipping this script, PBS integrates panel fabrication and framing to prevent scenarios where builders must act like referees between trades and deliver a more cohesive construction process. This distinction is why the company is recognized as a valuable partner. At the same time, the company’s commitment to client satisfaction is evident in its track record of delivering hands-on results through its exemplary service and superior outcomes. Staying focused on communication, coordination and quality assurance, PBS has shifted the deteriorating perception surrounding wood-based prefabrication and assembly to gain the trust of GTA’s leading home builders, earning repeat business and referrals.
Complementing the design team are the managers, who leverage their vast woodworking and frame development knowledge to create panel designs that prioritize ease of installation for carpenters, ensuring efficient panel installation while maintaining superior quality standards. Through meticulous planning and execution, PBS’ workforce constantly speeds up construction timelines and reduces labor demands.
Leveraging these strong core competencies, PBS has reached numerous milestones. Within the GTA, Marchesani and his team recognized reluctance to wood prefabrication among Ontario-based builders driven by negative experiences in the past. Builders in the region often express frustration with the challenges of coordinating panels with framing contractors, leading to the perception that wood-based modular construction is very cumbersome.
