Imagine transforming your production process with reliable and innovative equipment. Dayspring Construction did just that, and we’re excited to share their success story with you.

The Problem

Dayspring Construction had a definite need to improve efficiency. The company was using a bridge nailer built in 1951 that was inaccurate and prone to breaking down. Consequently, hand nailing was required, which was a quality control issue and slowed their production process. Dayspring wanted a reliable and consistent bridge nailer as they built a dedicated line to construct sheathed wall panels.

The Solution

After seeing Panels Plus equipment at the BCMC show and hearing overwhelmingly positive industry feedback, Nathan Davis, the Owner of Dayspring Construction, decided to invest in our Squaring Table and Dual Beam Sheathing Station. Says Davis, “I looked at every piece of equipment out there and bought what I thought was the best equipment available. Reliability is important; I need equipment that keeps working. We have legal and contractual commitments and downtime screws us up.”

The Results

With Panels Plus equipment, Dayspring Construction significantly improved their production process. Davis describes his Panels Plus Squaring Tables and semi-automatic bridge nailers as the “point of the spear” as his crews build millions of linear feet of walls annually. They allow Dayspring Construction to increase their offsite work while providing the safety, accuracy, and consistency of Panels Plus equipment. Previously, every hand-nailed wall had to be inspected; now walls are spot checked, saving lots of man-hours. “The panels are clean and go together fast and consistently. Small labor savings across a 4- or 5-story building add up. On a system level, all the little benefits add up to a faster system and are maybe an extra building each year,” adds Davis.
