--- title: Wally Walls - Then and Now description: In just over 2 years we went from an empty factory to needing more space. Light gauge construction is gaining traction and modular construction is the the norm. Better building materials make better buildings. Wally Walls is better.

In just over 2 years we went from an empty building to needing more floor space. A quick shout out to everyone that transformed more than the space we occupy (did I mention that we need more space!). Modular construction is no longer the exception to the rule - it is the rule. Building with ***better*** materials is also no longer the exception. Meeting stricter energy codes is a huge challenge, and so is erecting a project in a timely manner. There is no argument to be made in favor of field erected, stick built construction with poor performance. Similarly, light gauge structural framing provides the very best flexibility, and cost performance ratios when compared to masonry or red iron systems when light gauge is also an option. I guess if you look at the picture above you’ll understand that a lot of people have already figured that out. What are you building with? **Build Better. Build With Wally!** **Better. Better. Better.**   ![WallyVector2016_v3 (002).png](https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/ArJaZluQAGAJzx0Mi_rBWv9U-mI9MEo9QWY_RR2dHPR8ax9DsMlMCimQYzOS-1M0ATEdCfmhXPePhS5FrsYSKdqgg-kEZXvkJdDoi1F5_6xi-9nPpYjV14C_UiN6x0r8BVzeJvMk)     ### Subscribe to Email Updates ### Recent Posts ### Posts by Topic - [Projects (2)](https://blog.buildwithwally.com/tag/projects) - [Insider (1)](https://blog.buildwithwally.com/tag/insider) Wally Walls,  6320 20th Avenue, Kenosha, WI 53143 - Tel: (844) YO-WALLY -  E: info@buildwithwally.com - [HOME](https://www.buildwithwally.com/home-1) - [ABOUT](https://www.buildwithwally.com/about) - [BUILD](https://www.buildwithwally.com/test) - [SUSTAINABILITY](https://www.buildwithwally.com/sustainability-1) - [NEWS](https://www.buildwithwally.com/journal) - [CONTACT](https://www.buildwithwally.com/contact) [mailto:info@buildwithwally.com](mailto:info@buildwithwally.com)
