About this term

Panelized construction involves factory-built wall panels with insulation and sheathing, delivered flat to the site and assembled into home structure. Assembly occurs faster than stick-built but slower than modular. Customization is more flexible than modular but more limited than stick-built. Quality control benefits apply but homes must be built on standard foundations. This method is gaining popularity in production building.

Pro Tip

Panelized construction accelerates schedules and improves quality. Verify local builders and financing sources accept panelized homes.

Example

Wall panels arrive on-site with framing, insulation, and sheathing complete, requiring on-site assembly, roof installation, and interior systems.
