DragonBoard installs with a circular saw and a screw gun on the cold formed steel joists you already framed. Take the deck scope back from the gypcrete sub, control your project schedule, and add revenue per square foot.
You frame the floor. Then you wait while a gypcrete sub coordinates a pour crew, a pump truck, and a cure window before the next trade can start. Their schedule controls yours. Their delays land on your timeline. And the GC pays them for work your crew is fully capable of doing.
DragonBoard changes that calculus. The same crew that installs your steel joists installs the deck. Standard fasteners. Standard tools. 22 panels per skid, boomed to floor level, installed dry. You own the entire structural shell from framing through finished deck.
Standard circular saw and screw gun. Grabber CGH8185LG fasteners on a standard pattern. No specialized equipment, no new certifications. Your existing crew is productive on day one.
Subfloor scope adds material and labor revenue your crew already has capacity for. More dollars per project from the same field hours.
No waiting on a gypcrete sub, a pump truck, or a cure window. Your crew installs the deck as part of the framing sequence. The next trade starts when you finish.
DragonBoard plus Super Stud cold formed steel framing means you bid the entire structural shell from one supplier. Joists, track, studs, subfloor. Simpler procurement, integrated technical support.
