Discover The Panelized Homes Savings!
You'll enjoy proven savings!
The following cost comparison information was taken from a study done by the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB). The NAHB built two identical homes side by side. One was built with conventional "stick framing" techniques and the other
using factory built components. KEEP IN MIND that this example project does NOT include the normal panelized homes kit package inclusions,
such as windows, doors, exterior siding, interior walls. insulation or wood ceiling liners - can you imagine the additional savings that will be realized using our Panelized homes manufacturers volume purchasing ability? |
