Cost Savings
Comparing to conventional construction method,
DragonBoard surface construction cost can be up
to 50% less in Manhattan New York*.
The Savings are mainly from the reduction in labor
cost of handling one sheet of DragonBoard instead
of multiple sheets of conventional material in
all cases.
Since it is bug / fungus / mold free, fire resistant
and water resistant, the DragonBoard construction
may reduce the level of termite insurance, fire
insurance and water damage insurance premiums.
*Cost
Savings are based on 2005 National Construction
Estimator. It may vary in other areas.
