Built in Pittsburgh and Morgantown, Struct-Mill is developing automated pre-cutting at lumberyards so precisely prepared framing pieces arrive on the truck instead of being measured and cut at the jobsite. The company’s approach targets the waste, labor, and safety problems created by conventional on-site framing, with the aim of sending builders only the pieces they need.
