The Wall Company Moves To Help Save The Environment.

May 2009

The Wall Company has transformed it's entire fleet to now run on B100 Biodiesel.  The results have been positive: reuse  of what was once a waste product, and limiting of petrodiesel use which is dirtier and imported.  B100 has better lubricating properties than petrodiesel so it is actually prolonging the engine life of the entire fleet. In addition to being easier on engines, biodiesel is also easier on the environment.  If biodiesel is spilled during fueling it is not toxic to the environment unlike number 2 diesel.

Basement Boom: Could lower-level living save you?

July 2007

By Tim Vetscher
ABC15.com

Call it a basement boom. 
Despite the fact that only two percent of all homes in the Valley have basements, more and more people are opting for lower-level living. 

Scott McDonald, President of The Wall Company which builds the majority of basements in and around Phoenix, says given the choice six out of every 10 new home buyers are choosing to have a basement. 
One of the reasons for the trend is energy efficiency. 

The Wall Co. Completes Basements In Less Than 3 Weeks

February 2007

The Wall Company has developed a basement construction process that shortens the usual 45 day build cycle down to as little as 15 days in most cases. In addition the process makes for a safer & more efficient working environment for home framing with a basement.

The resulting schedule allows for all basement construction steps to be preformed in less than three weeks instead of a month and a half. Another advantage is that the entire house can be framed at one time. Builders that have tried the new process have been pleased with the increased efficiency for construction. Safety managers appreciate a safer working environment and the workers are glad to have one less obstacle in the way of getting the job done.

Just one more example of how The Wall Company is dedicated to being an industry partner for concrete basement construction.

The Wall Company has recently added the ability to not only deliver your aggregate, but also precisely place the material for you. A conveyance system which is remotely operated by the driver allows for precision placement of a wide variety of aggregates in any conceivable location up to 60 feet away. Even in areas that were previously impossible or prohibitive. In minutes the load of aggregate can be delivered and placed with precision, eliminating or greatly reducing the laborious task of spreading the aggregate.

Safety Fencing To Secure Basement Construction From Start To Finish

November 2006

The Wall Company now offers the delivery and placement of temporary fencing for your basement projects. Keep your site safe and secure from excavation till basement completion, reducing the potential for costly liabilities.

Fencing may be rented at a flat rate or may be priced by the foot on a monthly rate.

Emergency Exit Window Wells

July 2006

The Wall Company now offers Lifelines™ Emergency Exit Window Wells by Marflex. These window wells feature built-in steps and handrails for easy egress in emergencies.
