Without a doubt, one of the biggest improvements to my job has been prefabricated frames and trusses. It’s quicker and speed is a big thing on a site. It used to be that the sticks would land, and you’d have someone there for at least half a day on a drop saw cutting all your studs or window trims or whatever you need. Then you’ve got the crew putting them all together as per the plans. For a single-storey stick-build it would be about three days. They come and fit where they’re supposed to go; the same job that used to take several days now takes about a day.
