PROJECTWORKS Design and Pre-construction Service offers Armstrong a new way to effectively collaborate with customers and provide complete design-to-installation support. Using advanced digital technology, PROJECTWORKS can deliver accurate drawing packages that streamline the entire project process. In 2022, ProjectWorks expanded its digital product catalog by integrating solutions from the METALWORKS, WOODWORKS, and WAVE AXIOM product lines.

Further, the advanced technology used by PROJECTWORKS can help enhance sustainable design and construction practices. For instance, the digital technology can optimize panels within a ceiling layout based on realistic scrap reusability, reducing material waste and the environmental impact of a project. In 2022, PROJECTWORKS automated this optimization for AXIOM perimeter trim to increase sustainability at the manufacturing level. Since AXIOM is pre-cut based on job specific conditions, PROJECTWORKS started optimizing trim schedules for the manufacturing plant by finding the most efficient cut order that yields the least amount of scrap trim possible. PROJECTWORKS’ advanced technology can also generate the location and quantity of every part required to install the ceiling project. This provides a more efficient and accurate way for customers to specify projects. That means less guesswork—and less waste.
