In an increasingly competitive multifamily housing construction market, property developers and contractors are looking for ways to save time and money. As the market continues to heat up, and as new technologies continue to gain ground within it, it’s an ideal time for contractors to investigate alternative material options.
Hookset, N.H.-based Armand E. Lemire Co. recently discovered the benefits of chlorinated polyvinyl chloride piping while completing a 26-unit housing complex in Nashua, N.H.

Because the project went smoothly, the company plans on using the material again in larger and more involved projects.
