Fastener focus: PrimeSource
The construction industry is grappling with a shortage of skilled labor, forcing contractors to work with a smaller group of talent or less experienced crews.
“With fewer people to do the work, jobs are taking longer. That limits contractors’ revenue potential,” said Danielle Cook, PrimeSource Building Products Sr. Product Manager, Fasteners.
Fasteners play an important role because they significantly impact the time spent on projects, according to Cook. “Any given job can involve thousands of fasteners. Our customers are telling us they need fasteners that are easier to use and help their crews get jobs done faster,” she added.
The product development team at PrimeSource Building Products listened to those customers and have introduced products that address the need for speed. Specifically, Grip-Rite® and RailFX® are innovating their product offering to emphasize user-friendly features and faster installation. These products help shorten project timelines so contractors can increase project turns, and minimize errors so jobs get done right, while reducing callbacks.
In the construction business, delays can escalate costs and lower customer satisfaction. The right fasteners save contractors time, helping them stay competitive. Grip-Rite® offers a comprehensive range of fasteners and tools designed to help contractors speed up construction projects without compromising quality.
Innovations in fastener technology are helping make contractors more productive and efficient by significantly reducing the time required for each job. “This means contractors can handle more projects and boost their earnings,” said Cook. “Fasteners that are simple to use -- and install quickly -- help contractors meet deadlines and keep their customers happy.”
