Total Project Cost Reduction 3

Your Challenge: Cutting Costs without Cutting CornersToday’s competitive environment requires

everyone to work harder — and smarter.

Every aspect of the way we do business must

be examined to identify and eliminate waste.

Whether it’s labor, material, logistics or the

process, managers must look for the most

efficient way to get the job done. At the same

time, codes are becoming increasingly stringent,

allowing little room for deviation.

Thomas & Betts Can Help You Realize Significant Project Cost Savings

Thomas & Betts offers a wide array of electrical products designed to provide customers

with significant and measurable project cost savings:

Labor Savings: Industry-leading products utilize pre-assemblies, ergonomic designs and

innovative technology to help our customers reduce their total installation and operating costs.

For example, Steel City® Pre-Fab Components are designed to significantly reduce project

costs during the rough-in phase of a project. In addition, Steel City® Pre-Fab saves more

money by shipping pre-assembled electrical rough-in products directly to a job site.

Material Savings: Special ARRA and Buy America assemblies can help reduce overall

material costs as much as 40%.

Logistics Savings: Thomas & Betts will work with you to streamline how your order

is packaged, labeled and delivered to ensure the most efficient process possible.

Process Improvements: Thomas & Betts is a leader in developing and implementing

Web-based catalogs, CAD tools and BIM models to get the job done efficiently.
