CONCLUSIONS ABOUT BUILDING GREEN WITH PMHI:

PMHI framing packages feature environmentally friendly Engineered Wood Products (EWP) that are structurally superior to common dimensional lumber. PMHI framing packages also feature factory built panelized wall framing and engineered roof trusses. construction time

A National Association of Home Builders  (NAHB) Building Systems Council study, in conjunction with the Wood Truss Council of America, found that construction of a 2,600 sq. ft. home with trusses and panels used 26% less lumber, generated 76% less waste, and was constructed in just 37% of the man hours of a similar, stick-built home.
