How much money can you
save by using the Trakloc® Steel Framing system?
|
|
|
|
This is a question we hear often, and it is
our experience that double digit post installation savings are
quite obtainable. Of course we wish to point out that the
Trakloc® Steel Framing system may not yield these savings
in every application, such as small segmented walls, but if your
crews embrace the product these savings are easily obtained.
The bigger the project, the more the savings. We find that
crews who traditionally raise 100 feet of wall a day, can easily
now raise 180-220 feet, and still expend less energy with less
risk of injury. |

The worksheets included with this workbook
are for estimating the installed savings achieved when using
Trakloc® Steel Framing versus commodity stud and
track steel framing components. We suggest that you
download the calculator at the bottom of the page and follow
along with these instructions with your downloaded version. |
| |
| One of the first things to
note is that there are actually two value calculators. One
uses hourly wages to determine project cost and the other uses a
ratio of materials to labor in order to compute the total
installed cost. Select the one you wish to use from the
tabs at the bottom, as pointed out by the arrow in these screen
shots. |
| |
|
 |
| |
| |
| Once you have selected the
Value Estimator you wish to use: |
| |
- Click on the grey cells (or use your
tab key) to navigate to the different input cells. These
are the cells in which you are allowed to make changes so the
Value Estimator reflects your real world conditions.
|
|
 |
| |
- Input data for your project. Use the
sliding bar to change the total lineal feet of wall in your
project. For wall heights and on center spacing, either enter
data directly or use the drop down menus.
|
|
 |
| |
|
|
- Select the type of top track to be
used, either standard track, deep leg track, or slotted track.
|
|
 |
| |
|
|
|
 |
|
|
- Enter information about your labor rate
or estimating ratios. All the other data will
automatically calculate
|
|
 |
|
|
- The last step will be entering your
estimate of the Productivity % gained with Trakloc. To
change the value, just click on the drop down arrow and select
your estimated productivity gain.
|
|
|
|
 |
|
|
- Once you have entered all the above
data, your savings will be displayed on the green box at the
bottom.

| Below is the link to
download your own Trakloc® Value Estimator.
This estimator automatically places a 15% premium on top of the
commodity pricing you entered for the Trakloc® Steel
Framing system. However you will want to contact your
local distributor since the premium in your market may differ. |
