While the demand for new housing may be slowing in much of the industry, the need for new townhomes continues to keep up. According to the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB), 42,000 townhomes were started in Q2 of 2024—up 8% from Q2 of 2023—making up approximately 15% of single-family homes.
All signs point to a steady and increasing demand for new townhomes in the future. So if you’re in the new townhome construction business, it’s good news. But are you doing everything you can to prepare for increasing demand, increase productivity and efficiency, and keep costs down? One of the best and most affordable you can do as an owner or manager of a construction company is to invest in quality communication equipment in the form of two-way radios.
Durable
Your new townhome construction business, like any construction company, faces the elements and a harsh working environment. There’s wind, rain, hot sun, cold temperatures, dirt, dust, wood shavings, and a whole lot of other things that can easily damage equipment.
What use is a communication device that can’t endure the environment it’s needed for? Luckily, Peak push-to-talk two-way radios are designed with durability in mind. We offer a range of radios with different durability specs. For example, our PTT-624G Rugged LTE Radio is as durable as a radio can get. It’s rigorously tested to ensure it meets our high standards and is IP68-rated.
Connect all workers
Other communication options like cellphones are usually peer-to-peer, meaning that only two people can talk at one time. PTT two-way radios allow users to send messages to however many people are on the channel, allowing workers to address the whole company or project site, if necessary.
This can connect the various workers you have at a given site, including:
- Site managers
- Supervisors
- Project manager
- General contractor
- Civil engineer
- Excavation crew
- Concrete/masonry workers
- Framing carpenters
- And much more
So if one team encounters a problem or needs to ask a question, they can send out a quick message. Also, if there’s a workplace hazard or injury, an instant message can be sent out.
Multiple channels
While it’s useful to allow all workers access to one channel, if everyone is using the same channel for all communication, there will be too much interference. Peak PTT two-way radios come with an unlimited number of channels. This allows you to silo off teams to specific channels so they can speak with their individual team or department without interrupting other teams’ communication.
