Demountable Wall Press and Jig
FY 2023-24 · 2023-08-07
Summary
The need for demountable wall technology has been growing with the lack of housing and labour and supply chain shortage. Traditional partition wall building typically consists of using steel or wood studs with the labour provided by skilled framers onsite. Given the shortage of housing, time, labour and supply, it seems reasonable that demountable walls be used. The firm has investigated demountable wall systems but since most are produced with stamping for manufacturing, the cost isn’t conducive for the residential market at this time. The alternative proposed at this time, as cost-effective compromise is a demountable wall using existing and readily available off the shelf building material already used in the wall framing industry.

Description
The need for demountable wall technology has been growing with the lack of housing and labour and supply chain shortage. Traditional partition wall building typically consists of using steel or wood studs with the labour provided by skilled framers onsite. Given the shortage of housing, time, labour and supply, it seems reasonable that demountable walls be used. The firm has investigated demountable wall systems but since most are produced with stamping for manufacturing, the cost isn’t conducive for the residential market at this time.

Description (French)
La technologie des cloisons démontables est de plus en plus demandée en raison du manque de logements et de la pénurie de main-d’œuvre et de la chaîne d’approvisionnement. La construction de cloisons traditionnelles consiste généralement à utiliser des montants en acier ou en bois, la main-d’œuvre étant assurée par des encadreurs qualifiés sur place. Compte tenu de la pénurie de logements, de temps, de main-d’œuvre et d’approvisionnement, il semble raisonnable d’utiliser des cloisons démontables. L’entreprise a étudié les systèmes de murs démontables, mais comme la plupart sont produits par emboutissage pour la fabrication, le coût n’est pas favorable au marché résidentiel à l’heure actuelle. L’alternative proposée pour l’instant, comme compromis rentable, est un mur démontable utilisant des matériaux de construction existants et facilement disponibles, déjà utilisés dans l’industrie de l’ossature murale.
