Panelized Light-Frame Construction with DL Cohen On Monday, I had the pleasure of hosting a WoodWorks tour alongside APA – The Engineered Wood Association and DL Cohen Construction Company LLC/Huron Components LLC. We explored the innovative world of panelized light-frame wood manufacturing and construction at the DL Cohen/Huron Components factory and an active jobsite in Green Valley Ranch! We visited DL Cohen’s paperless manufacturing facility, where light-frame wood wall panels and trusses are produced offsite to ensure accuracy, high quality, and consistency. As highlighted, DL Cohen/Huron Components methodology is backed by their comprehensive modeling structure and in-house component manufacturing that helps them deliver precision, quality, and support tailored specifically for framers and project teams. These panels are shipped to job sites in thoughtfully sequenced packages for rapid and straightforward erection. The projects DL Cohen shared with us highlighted the benefits of offsite panel manufacturing, including creating safer job sites, reducing material waste, and accelerating construction timelines. Green Valley Ranch Jobsite: The GVR development features 9 buildings of 3-story garden apartments. We saw trusses stacked with studs from roof to foundation, exemplary sheathing nailing, and neatly coordinated and installed MEP systems. A big thank you to Ron Nuttall, DL Cohen Construction Company LLC/Huron Components LLC, and everyone who joined us. Your insights and expertise made this tour a valuable learning experience for all, and we had great questions and engagement from our guests! Looking forward to more opportunities to delve into more advancements in our industry! Missed the tour? Contact Morgan Karlos for additional opportunities.
