Panelized walls are pre-engineered wall panels customized to fit any home style. Because the panels are constructed in a factory with a controlled environment, the panels are never subject to adverse weather conditions, preventing the wood from warping or shrinkage. Additionally, the walls are comprised of recycled wood and they produce little to no "scrap," making them environmentally friendly.







The condensed time it takes to build a panelized home is another facet of building that impacts the overall outcome of the build. Panelized walls come packaged with labels and instructions such as "wall B2 joins wall B3." This method makes production move smoothly and quickly, resulting in saving time and money.
