Pre-fabricated Light Gauge Metal Framed Wall Panels

Along with standard stick built exterior wall systems, LAK has the unique option to design, engineer, and construct light gauge metal wall panels in our on-site panel shop. LAK works closely with owners, designers, engineers, and general contractors to prefabricate structural wall panels complete with sheathing and vapor barriers, long before they are even needed on the job site. They are then shipped to the job site and installed using a tower crane and minimal manpower. This capability allows the owner to save money by completing schedule milestones and constructing the building in a timely fashion. Limited site time is needed to give the owner a building envelope. Let LAK save you time and money on your next project by utilizing our pre-fabricated LGMF wall panels.

Pre-construction Services

At Leonard A. Kraus Co., we get involved in many projects at the design stage. Working closely with designers, owners, and GC's, LAK utilizes its knowledge and experience to help make the construction process smoother and more efficient. We provide budgeting, value engineering, and constructability reviews to ensure that the project is completed on time and within budget.
