In addition to sustainability, PMP’ s solutions are designed with ease of installation in mind, as the company strives to produce a new generation of systems that address construction challenges.“ In a nutshell, we are aligning ourselves more closely to what a person newly entering the trade would look for.

It is almost like they have already acquired these skills during the first 15 years of their lives at home and find this environment familiar. However, transitioning to using a tape measure, learning to read it, cutting a piece of pipe with a manual tool, and then installing it may prove more difficult for them compared to digital methods. We acknowledge that people fall across a spectrum in terms of their comfort with technology.
