Total Project Cost Reduction
8
The residential market encompasses much more than
the single-family home. Apartment complexes and
high-rise condos have different needs than a 2,000-
square-foot house. Large, repetitive areas, firewalls and
steel stud construction are a few differences that lead to
unique needs. Labor becomes more significant, so
improving efficiency plays a central role in lowering total
project costs. Thomas & Betts offers you solutions to
help drive efficiency improvements, saving time, cutting
labor costs and reducing overall project costs.
