Build Faster and Better with BamCore’s Prime.24

In a construction industry facing unprecedented challenges—from a shortage of 439,000 workers needed in 2025 alone to material costs that have jumped 19% on average since 2020—builders are searching for revolutionary solutions. The answer might lie in reimagining one of construction's most fundamental elements: the wall frame itself.

The Hidden Crisis in Traditional Construction

Traditional stick framing, unchanged since the 1830s, is failing modern builders and homeowners alike. Consider these sobering realities:

• Thermal Bridging Nightmare: Standard 2x6 wood framing with R-19 insulation actually performs closer to R-13 due to thermal bridging—a 25% loss in efficiency

• Massive Waste Generation: A single 2,000-square-foot home produces 8,000 pounds of construction waste and requires 40-50 trees

• Productivity Decline: Construction productivity has actually decreased over the past 60 years while other industries have seen 10-15x improvements

  
  

Meanwhile, construction materials prices increased 1.4% in January 2025 alone, with overall prices 40.5% higher than February 2020 levels. The construction industry desperately needs innovation that addresses these compounding problems.

Enter BamCore's Prime.24: The Game-Changing Solution

BamCore's Prime.24 framing system represents a paradigm shift in construction technology, offering builders and homeowners a way to build faster, stronger, and greener without abandoning familiar construction processes.

Revolutionary Strength and Efficiency

Prime.24 delivers exceptional structural performance that outclasses traditional framing:

• Over 2x Load-Bearing Capacity: With vertical capacity up to 9,080 pounds per linear foot, Prime.24 far exceeds traditional 2x6 framing capabilities.

• Minimal Thermal Bridging: The system's low framing factor of just 10.9% dramatically reduces thermal bridges that plague conventional construction.

• Code Compliance: Approved for buildings up to five stories, providing versatility for various project types.

  
  

Speed and Precision Through Innovation

The system's custom prefabrication process transforms construction timelines:

• 50% Faster Installation: Pre-cut openings and sequential panel delivery eliminate onsite cutting and guesswork.

• Color-Coded Installation Maps: Patented MEPI (Mechanical, Electrical, Plumbing) maps printed directly on panels guide rapid, accurate assembly.

• Reduced Labor Requirements: Minimal skilled labor needed, addressing the industry's critical workforce shortage.

Benefits That Transform the Building Experience

For Builders:

Competitive Advantage in a Challenging Market

Accelerated Project Timelines

With construction wages increasing 5% year-over-year and reaching $38 per hour in March 2024, time is literally money. Prime.24's 50% reduction in framing timeline directly translates to significant labor cost saving.

Reduced Material Waste

The custom prefabrication process minimizes onsite cutting by 50%, substantially reducing construction waste disposal costs. This addresses the industry's massive waste problem while improving profit margins.

Enhanced Energy Performance

Prime.24 exceeds 2021 IECC energy codes and achieves R-values up to 22.7 when erected on a 2x6 bottom plate. This superior performance helps builders meet increasingly stringent energy efficiency requirements while providing a competitive market differentiator.

Simplified Construction Process

The system requires no specialized equipment, making adoption seamless for builders familiar with traditional framing methods. Installation instructions are literally printed on each panel, reducing errors and training time.

For Homeowners:

Superior Performance Meets Long-Term Value

Dramatic Energy Savings

Energy-efficient homes can reduce utility bills by 10% or more compared to code-minimum construction. Prime.24's superior thermal performance, with reduced thermal bridging, can lower heating and cooling costs throughout the home's lifetime.

Enhanced Comfort and Indoor Air Quality

The system's tight building envelope and reduced thermal bridging eliminate cold spots and drafts that plague traditionally framed homes. This creates more consistent temperatures and improved comfort year-round.

Environmental Impact Reduction

BamCore's materials are cradle-to-gate carbon negative, offering up to 116% reduction in embodied carbon compared to traditional framing. The system can also reduce operating emissions by up to 6%, supporting homeowners' sustainability goals.

Superior Structural Resilience

With more than double the load-bearing capacity of traditional framing, Prime.24 homes can better withstand extreme weather events, providing peace of mind.

Increased Home Value

Studies indicate that energy-efficient homes command sales price premiums of up to 8% compared to standard construction. Prime.24's superior energy performance positions homeowners for better resale value.

The Sustainable Future of Construction

BamCore's Prime.24 addresses the construction industry's most pressing challenges while preparing builders and homeowners for a more sustainable future. Made from rapidly renewable, deforestation-free fibers, the system offers a practical path to decarbonizing construction without sacrificing performance or affordability.

The bamboo-based materials grow to structural strength in just 4-7 years compared to 25-75 years for traditional timber. Bamboo also absorbs 35% more CO₂ than trees, making Prime.24 a powerful tool for carbon sequestration.

Why the Industry is Taking Notice

With construction input prices continuing to rise and labor shortages intensifying, the industry cannot afford incremental improvements. Prime.24 represents the kind of transformative innovation that addresses multiple challenges simultaneously:

• Economic Efficiency: Reduced material and labor costs through optimized design and rapid installation

• Performance Excellence: Superior structural and thermal performance that exceeds code requirements

• Environmental Responsibility: Carbon-negative materials that support sustainability goals

• Market Differentiation: Advanced technology that positions builders as industry leaders

The Bottom Line: Building Smarter, Faster, Stronger

In an industry where 82.5% of construction materials have experienced significant cost increases since 2020, and where finding skilled workers becomes increasingly difficult, Prime.24 offers builders a competitive advantage that translates directly to their bottom line and their customers' satisfaction.

For homeowners, Prime.24 delivers superior performance, enhanced comfort, and long-term value while supporting environmental sustainability. It's not just a better way to frame—it's a smarter way to build for the future.

The question isn't whether the construction industry needs innovation—it's whether builders and homeowners are ready to embrace the solution that's already here. BamCore's Prime.24 framing system proves that revolutionary change doesn't require abandoning proven construction methods—it requires making them dramatically better.
