Doing Business / Factory Built Construction
With factory built construction, consumers want their new homes to be attractive, to be low maintenance, and to represent a good investment. It's these three factors — quality, convenience and value — that make James Hardie siding so well suited for the factory built consumer.
With offerings like our CTSSM (Cut-to-Size) products and our SureCut™ tool program, partnering with James Hardie enables you to purchase less product, increase board yield, reduce scrap, and eliminate steps during installation. All this leads to lower total installed costs.
CTSSM - Cut-to-Size Program
James Hardie shows its commitment to factory built construction by offering custom siding lengths and widths. Sierra MH-Panel and Cedarmill MH-Trim are available cut-to-size. This program reduces the number of additional cuts required in your plants. It allows you to purchase less product, increase board yield, reduce scrap, eliminate steps during installation, decrease maintenance on cutting equipment, and lower installation costs.
