SUPERIOR WALL SYSTEMS INC. 146 ings for the end user. In a lot of cases, we’re doing hotels and extended stay places, so we can get ‘heads on beds’ a lot sooner than the conventional construction practices.” According to Smith, these load-bearing sys- tems and pre-manufactured panels are rela- tively new entrants in the construction indus- try. “In the past, there wasn’t a sustainable market that could hold onto that construction delivery system, so companies kind of come and go with the load-bearing panel system. But now, the companies seem to be coming and there’s some sustainability in the market- place to where we can hang onto that market share, and with the economy booming as it is, there’s more and more projects coming out of the ground that offer that opportunity.” The Superior Panel, Truss and Stud divisions employs approximately 12 people, and Supe- rior Wall Systems has 22 in the main office and another 450 out in the field installing the construction materials. The company’s geo- graphic footprint includes: San Diego, Los An- geles, Riverside County, San Bernardino County, Santa Barbara, and San Luis Obispo. “We have done some work up in San Jose, San Francisco, and Reno, although we don’t do work in those more northern cities on a regular basis – some one-off stuff as a client requests us to,” Smith adds.
