Panelized Info
A panelized home is a pre-engineered structure. The theory behind this type of construction is that as most parts of the building are pre-built in a controlled environment, the craftspeople will not be effected by weather, lack of materials at hand, unexpected costs or other obstacles that arise whenever one is building a house on site.
A panelized homes should not be confused with modular or mobile homes. Panelization should best be understood as one step above stick framing. When a contractor is stick framing, he has an assortment of lifts of wood delivered to the site where he then has the crew take the studs, cut and assemble them into 'panels' that are then tilted up into place and fastened down.
Panelized home manufacturers pre-build all of the exterior/interior 'panels' in a controlled environment and send them to a site ready to be assembled. The packages also come complete with floor and roof systems, doors and windows, shingles and siding so that your building project is raised quickly to the weatherized 'locked up' or 'dried in' phase.
Once the 'shell' of the home is put up, subcontractors can then move in to finish the interior work, such as: electrical, plumbing, heating, drywall, cabinets etc. Panelized homes are classified as a stick framed home and can therefore be built in most of the same locations. |

About our panelized walls
AllPro Building Systems panels are framed in an enclosed facility to exacting tolerances using state-of the art technology and top of the line equipment. The nature of the business requires panelized construction to be very precise and yield a high quality product. Control measures in our facility and the need to eliminate problems on the worksite are what ensure a superior quality product compared to most onsite stick-built homes. The walls that we build are usually 8 to 10 feet wide and 200 lbs or less and can be lifted easily by crews of 2-3 guys. Panelized construction will cut your labor cost/time almost in half.
