What’s Pre-Cut vs Cut On Site in Kit Homes?
Transcript
Charles Christodoulou: “All the walls, wall frames and roof trusses, they’re all exact. But when they deliver the plasterboard or skirtings and architraves, they’re not cut to the exact length. Only because, being on site, let’s say a wall’s out by 20 mil – not maybe not your fault, could be your carpenter’s fault or someone just didn’t do it properly – and we cut the plasterboard to exact length, then it’s going to be too short, then everyone’s in trouble. So what we’ll do, we deliver that stuff in bulk and they cut it on site, which I think is a much better outcome for both involved.“
What Comes Pre-Cut (Exact)
Wall frames and roof trusses:
- All exact measurements
- Fully prefabricated
What's Cut On Site
Interior materials supplied in bulk:
- Plasterboard
- Skirtings
- Architraves
If a wall is out by 20mm – maybe not your fault, could be the carpenter’s fault, or someone just didn’t do it properly – and the plasterboard was cut to exact length, then it’s going to be too short and everyone’s in trouble.
Wall frames and roof trusses arrive with exact measurements. Interior materials like plasterboard, skirtings and architraves are delivered in bulk and cut on site to accommodate any variations in wall measurements.
