Arches Decrease Phase Time, Reduce Warranty Calls and...

Improve Profitability...

We have several customers that have come to the realization that using Custom-Arch pre-built arches in their component walls - decreases production time, reduces warranty calls and increases their profits by reducing operating costs.

Wall panel companies are seeing an up-tick in business even as the Residential Housing markets approach or (hopefully) start to ascend from their low point.  Builders are faced with a need to get homes built more efficiently and do so with a very shallow talent pool.  Wall panel companies are looking to reduce costs and increase throughput.  That is why they choose Custom-Arch arches.

By using our arches a company can reallocate valuable square footage to a core manufacturing competency; essentially increasing productivity.  The amount of waste material generated from cutting arches by hand is eliminated; as is the need to buy additional sheets of OSB.  Thus reducing waste removal costs and cost of stocking raw materials.  Production managers no longer need look for a laborer who can build arches.  A line worker can install an arch as easily as a header or a jack.

Here are a few pictures of our arches in wall components -

Florida Housing Market shows signs of thawing...

In a recent article in the Orlando Sentinel, Jerry W. Jackson interviews a few of the top production builders in the greater Orlando area.  

The feeling overall is that the market will start to ease a bit in the first part of '09 with demand building in the later part of next year.

While the last few "difficult" months have had a terrible impact on the builder community, the consensus is positive for the surviving companies.  Here is a link to the story -

Ed. - If it is possible for builders, subcontractors and vendors to stay afloat for the next 2 quarters, we will all be in a good position for the up tick after the correction.

Our arches used in Metal Stud construction...

I recently had a discussion with a friend of mine who is in commercial construction.  Typically he builds using long spans and vast open areas.  He does occasionally need to use some curved soffits and arches.  He admits that he doesn't like to hire wood framing contractors just to do the curves.  He also admitted that he assumed he could not use our product.  Here are some pictures for you Scott.  You can indeed use our product in steel construction with all the flexibility of standard stick construction.

Our arches nail or screw right into the steel studs with no additional effort or special tools.

Feel free to submit requests for additional pictures if you have a project coming up that will be using steel studs.
