What is Component Construction?

Component Construction builds homes according to local building codes using traditional framing details. Components are built in a factory as roof trusses, wall panels and floor panels. The components are transported to the job site where they are assembled into place with a crane. Completion of the exterior and interior of the home is done at the job site

Fast Facts Panelized Homes

• Panelization, the most widely-used form of component building, refers to a construction method where housing components are prefabricated in a climate-controlled facility before being shipped to a home site.
• A majority of today's production and portfolio builders use factory-made floor and roof trusses, the most commonly known form of panelization.
• Component panel types include simple pre-cut floor and roof trusses.
• A BSC study, in conjunction with the Wood Truss Council of American, found that construction of a 2,600 sq. ft. home with trusses and panels used 26% less lumber, generated 76% less waste, and was constructed in just 37% of the man hours of a similar, stick-built home.
• After completion, there is literally NO DIFFERENCE between our homes and a stick built on site. When our homes are appraised, they will be evaluated by comparison to sales of other site-built homes in your area. They are NOT considered to be manufactured, mobile or modular and so most subdivision covenants will permit them. These homes qualify for standard mortgage financing and homeowners insurance.
