Published purpose

The need for demountable wall technology has been growing with the lack of housing and labour and supply chain shortage. Traditional partition wall building typically consists of using steel or wood studs with the labour provided by skilled framers onsite. Given the shortage of housing, time, labour and supply, it seems reasonable that demountable walls be used. The firm has investigated demountable wall systems but since most are produced with stamping for manufacturing, the cost isn’t conducive for the residential market at this time. The alternative proposed at this time, as cost-effective compromise is a demountable wall using existing and readily available off the shelf building material already used in the wall framing industry.
