Benefits of Using Building Components
In the current tight labor market, non-profit housing practitioners can accelerate their construction timelines with less highly skilled labor by utilizing pre-manufactured building components.
Learn from the Structural Building Component Association (SBCA) about exactly what structural building components are, why they are used, and how they add value by utilizing them in your work.
A Virginia self-help grantee will demonstrate how they fabricate and use their own pre-manufactured building components to accelerate their construction projects while utilizing less highly skilled labor.
