Using a black marker, transfer the panel layouts 
to the bottom plate.  Include all window and 
door openings as well as the vertical electrical 
chases in each wall panel.  If electrical chases 
are being utilized, drill the chase holes as you 
set each panel using a minimum 1 1/2” bit.  
(Do not drill all the chase holes down the entire 
wall, because as panel joints grow you will be 
off center as you get to the end of the wall.)

Determine the best place to start the 
installation and get your panels to that area. 
Most of the time it is best to start in a building 
corner.  The corners are locked together using 
Premier Panel Screws secured through the 
panel spaced 2’ o.c. maximum.  (Normally you 
will use a screw two inches longer than the wall 
thickness.)  Install the screws into the panel 
close to the lumber plate.  Use a drill to finish 
tightening and the panels will cinch together.  
Set the underside of the screw heads flush with 
the OSB, do not break the skin of the panel.  
Always check the fastening or engineering 
schedule on your shop drawings.
