How HVAC Duct Miscuts and Waste
Tax Your Business
Production Waste Adds Cost
At ZEN Industries, we’ve
been a precision fabricator of HVAC ductwork and fittings since
1999. Experience has shown us that miscutting and waste creation
adds cost to every job.
When a fabricator produces scrap, waste, and
even excessive inventory, it’s like a hidden tax that burdens both
their business and the projects they serve.
Everything gets paid for somewhere down the line. If mismeasuring
results in avoidable scrap pieces, then either those costs are
passed on to the buyer, absorbed by the fabricator, or a combination
of both. Regardless of the situation, though, unneeded costs are
spread through the ductwork acquisition pipeline.
Of course, mismeasurement presents one kind of burden if identified
at the fabrication facility, and another entirely if identified on
the construction site.
HVAC ductwork must fit together with a
precision that takes into account effective duct length and all the
fittings, such that even minor miscalculations in production can
result in time consuming adjustments on-site. Working to adjust
sheet metal at the construction site adds avoidable labor time,
further spreading the cost of production errors to the project.
Optimizing HVAC Duct Fabrication
ZEN Industries has had decades of internal optimization of our
fabricating process. We’ve learned from early failures to meet
deadlines, shop floor bottlenecks and inefficiencies, overstocking
of inventory, and more.
From software to machine settings, from rigorous training of new
employees to hands-on quality control, we’ve invested in creating an
environment that comprehensively reduces miscuts, mismeasurement,
and waste.
This has several effects. It improves turnaround time for our
customers. It makes our products more affordable to purchase and to
install. It contributes to projects that are more energy efficient
and reliable, allowing for cost savings over the lifetime of the
construction.
At ZEN Industries, we
employ lean manufacturing techniques, always keeping our eye on the
fact that our mission is to serve our customers with the kind of
quality and value that serves their needs and enhances their goals,
not merely to fill orders.
Precision Results in Real Savings of 25% to 35%
For years now, we’ve called our own special brand of precision HVAC
production The ZEN Way, and we’ve proven we can deliver savings of
25% to 35% over traditional duct fabrication.
-
Using Advanced Coordination and
Shop Drawing techniques, we can eliminate field measuring and
layout on site.
-
We deliver lower fabrication costs
because our coordination and BIM models are so precise they
allow us to optimize the number of standard lengths of duct and
minimize the total number of joints and fittings.
-
ZEN works with you to create a proactive
delivery schedule, with duct delivery orders assigned to
pre-planned project zones. You get what you need where you need
it to keep your crews “hanging and banging."
-
Duct and fittings arrive wrapped,
sorted, and labeled. No time is wasted in searching for the
right piece or in a trial-and-error assembly of a duct run.
-
Precision and organization work together
to allow project managers to use their least experienced labor
on duct installation, freeing expensive and experienced hands
for more important tasks.
We’ve pioneered a variety of ways to save on duct acquisition. If

Partner with ZEN to Do More and Earn More
When sourcing HVAC duct, look beyond the
lowest cost. Poor production practices may hit you with a hidden
tax, one that builds hidden costs into deliver, installation, and
on-site troubleshooting and rework, as well as causing headaches and
time-wasting fatigue for your best on-site teams.
Our goal is to partner with our customers in
ways that make the entire workflow from order to installation a
seamless exercise in time and cost savings. By employing foresight
and delivering the highest quality, the savings delivered by ZEN
extend into the lifetime of the construction project, with energy
efficiencies that result in less cooling and heating costs, as well
as less drain on and a longer lifespan for the HVAC equipment
itself.
As an experienced fabricator of HVAC duct for over 22 years, ZEN
Industries supplies traditional
Rectangular Ductwork
as well as
Spiral Ductwork,
Double Wall Spiral,
,
PCD Ductwork, and
Specialty Ductwork.
In almost any industry, it’s not all about method, software, or
supply. ZEN leads in optimization and efficiency of HVAC duct
production because of our experienced and dedicated team. Let us put
them to work for you!
