Improve job site efficiency and properly align skilled resources to meet tight commercial construction project deadlines.  Our Ruff-IN™ solutions give you the convenience of a prefabricated product, plus the flexibility to accommodate job-site requirements.

Industry challenges impacting your bottom line

The demands on electrical contractors are at an all-time high.

Incredibly tight budgets paired with scope creep, digital deliverables, and green building initiatives like waste reduction create unique challenges for nearly every project. Pairing these challenges with a shrinking workforce and expedited construction schedules requires contractors to optimize labor in new ways.

Productivity challenges hit hardest at rough-in.

Inefficient material management and slow installation when working in ceilings and walls is costly. Contractors need efficiency and consistency to get it done right and quickly.
