Why Panelized?

WHY PANELIZED?

  • QUALITY. Straight walls, square corners, exact dimensions and specifications.  Panelized Construction (wall systems and framing) are of higher quality and workmanship.  Engineered Panels are constructed indoors, with computer automated production equipment and state-of-the-art fabrication tables.  This eliminates mistakes and waste.
  • FASTER ON-SITE FRAMING.  By “panelizing,” you can frame in days, not weeks.  Panelized Homes allow faster building and home completion!  Reducing On-Site Labor costs and Construction Loan costs.
  • SECURITY.  Lock most job sites after just a few days.  Materials are maintained in a controlled environment, offering less opportunity for weather damage or theft.
  • ZERO ON-SITE FRAMING WASTE.  No Rolloffs!
  • BUILT IN HAWAII.  Superior service, superior quality, and local customer service before, during, and after your product is complete.
  • AFFORDABLE.  Volume Purchasing of Steel, Windows, Doors and other components allows for volume discounts which keeps our product affordable.

COST SAVING ADVANTAGES

  • Reduce construction loan expenses by 50% or more.
  • Reduced on-site labor costs – saves time and money.
  • More affordable than conventional framing with wood.
  • Higher appraisals and lower insurance rates.

 

PANELIZING
Panelized Home Building, an Alternative Solution to the Challenges of Home Building

Builder Magazine, January 2010

In the high-tech approach known as panelized construction, pre-engineered wall sections are produced for a new home in factory-controlled conditions, then shipped complete to the building site for final construction. A panelized home can be weather tight in just a few days.

Leading panelized home manufacturers offer tremendous flexibility in design, and can provide any amenities desired in a new home. Some panelized manufacturers work through networks of general contractors (professional home builders). Others deal directly with home buyers looking to build their own home.

Recently, the National Association of Home Builders reported that complete home panelization is the fastest growing segment of residential new construction. Built with the aid of cutting-edge automation and in factory-perfect conditions, complete exterior and interior wall panels & trusses, etc. are loaded onto panelized manufacturers’ trucks and delivered to the homesite. Materials are marked at the factory with a code to eliminate any confusion at the jobsite (i.e., wall “A-1″ joins wall “A-2″.)

For some panelized manufacturers, their involvement in the construction of the home is finished when the materials are delivered, with all field work completed by the general contractor. Other panelized manufacturers provide a crane and “set crews” when the materials are delivered to work with the general contractor in getting the home framed in. There are even some panelized manufacturers who will supply all necessary labor to complete the home.
