84 Lumber Launches New Building Component Aimed at Reducing Build Time

84 Lumber is excited to announce its newest building component – 84 Vertical. This new program started in Denver, Colorado, and is now available in other markets such as Atlanta, Georgia; Nashville, Tennessee; Birmingham, Alabama; and Indianapolis, Indiana.

This new service is an extension of the company’s expanding component services. Optimized lumber packages will be available through design, fostering better wood utilization and less waste – a greener process that will reduce the amount of wood used to build the average home, and lower jobsite disposal expenses. 84 Vertical also aims at reducing build cycle time. Materials will be shipped labeled, pre-cut, and ready to assemble, which will allow for faster assembly, producing a safer build with fewer jobsite injuries.

“We’re ‘exactimating,’ not estimating,” said Jim Abbott, EWP vice president at 84 Lumber. “We are excited to launch 84 Vertical, and we know our customers are ready for this program. The goal is to better serve our customers and help them build more efficiently and accurately.”

The creation of the program was in response to demand in a competitive market as 84 Lumber wanted to expand product and service offerings to meet the needs of customers. For more information on this new service, click here to watch a video.
