Column Casing Components, Prepared Offsite
Column casing is often awkward to prepare on site.
Every steel column, concrete column or structural detail needs measuring, cutting and forming accurately before the plasterboard can be installed.
That takes time. It creates waste. It also puts pressure on the site team to get every repeat detail right while working around other trades.
At Innovate at SA, we prepare column casing components offsite from the board you supply. You send us your drawings, sizes and plasterboard. We cut, form, label and palletise the components ready for your team to install on site.
You keep your board supplier, buying terms and rebates. We provide the cutting and preparation service.
Column casing components prepared offsite
We can prepare plasterboard column casing components to suit your project detail, including straight lengths, returns, folded sections and repeated casing kits.
Each component can be cut to size, labelled by floor, area or location, then packed ready for delivery or collection.
This gives your site team a cleaner, more consistent way to install repeated column details without cutting everything by hand on site.
Why contractors use offsite column casing preparation
Preparing column casings offsite helps reduce the slow, repetitive work that usually happens on site.
It can help with:
- Less cutting and dust on site
- Less board waste
- Better repeatability across floors
- Faster installation
- Cleaner working areas
- Fewer setting out errors
- Easier labour planning
- More consistent finished details
For projects with repeated columns, the benefit is simple. Get the awkward preparation done once, properly, then give the site team labelled components they can install with confidence.
How it works
1. Send us your drawings or cutting schedule
Send us your column casing drawings, dimensions or marked-up details. A sketch, photo or PDF is enough to start the conversation. We check the detail before anything is cut.
2. Supply your board
You supply the board through your own merchant. Nothing changes in your supply chain.
3. We check, cut, form and label
We confirm board type, sizes, quantities and labelling requirements. We CNC cut and form the column casing components at our Elsenham workshop, labelled by floor, zone, area or room reference.
4. Delivery or collection
We deliver to your site or make the order available for collection from Essex. Delivery is scheduled to suit your programme.
Your board. Your rates. Our workshop.
Send us your board
You do not have to buy plasterboard from us.
You supply the board through your own merchant or supplier, using your own buying terms. We use that board to prepare the column casing components to your project sizes.
That means you keep control of your material costs, rates and rebates while removing the slow cutting work from site.
