Volume purchasing cuts YOUR end line cost!
Factory building of panelized homes, cabins and buildings allows
the manufacturer to purchase large volumes of lumber, sheathing, windows and
doors. Volume purchasing offers significant costs savings as compared to
materials purchased for individual “site-framed homes, and this cost efficiency
is passed along to the individual home buyer/builder.
Putting the wall panels together on the job
site is made easy...
As each wall section or panel is built, it is marked with a
letter or number code that corresponds with the individual home plan. This
assures accuracy in placement when panels are delivered to the building site and
assembled by the owner-builder, their contractors or framing crews.
"Lock-up Stage" can be quickly reached, saving
time, labor and costs!
Since most of the framing, sheathing, and sometimes even the
siding installation is done before the material is delivered to the site, a
weather-tight panelized shell can finished in several days (time depends on the
size of the building and the number of workers - usually a crew of 4), as
opposed to several weeks with “site framing”. As a result, construction loan
interest rates, labor costs, exposure ( to damaging elements such as rain and
snow), material waste or theft and framing errors are greatly reduced.
The "Open Panel" is the most common panelized
system used...
While several types of wall panels are produced, the " open
panel" is most common - it's what we use with EZ Home Kits' packages. Having all
of the time-consuming construction already completed substantially reduces the
need for large job site labor requirements. Interior panels are left open for
wiring, plumbing, heating and on-site inspection. An added benefit to " Open
frame panels" is that this method is conducive to custom designs and will
accommodate on-site change orders issued during construction.
The "bottom line" is...
-
Panelization is a superb choice for Owner-Builders and
private construction or building companies.
-
Buyers experience a shorter start-to-finish construction cycle
time, with enhanced quality and substantial cost controls - including the
opportunity to save on construction loan interest rates.
-
Since panelization uses standard "stick-built" frame
construction, the home buyer has the freedom to customize the home to their
specific needs.
-
The impact of material costs, material waste, theft, labor
availability, construction errors and the damaging effects of weather is
minimized during the construction process of a panelized building system.
