What is Panelization?

Panelization is simply the process of building the wall panels of a house off site and bringing them to the building site to stand.  It is much the same process of a typical "stick-building", but the panels are made in a controlled environment, acheiving a higher level of quality and accuracy.  These are not manufactured or modular homes.  Manufactured or modular homes are completely built in a factory and shipped in pieces.  They are standardized homes with many limitations and some communities will not allow them to be constructed.  This is not the situation with Farwest Homes panelized homes.

    Panelized Building Systems offer the following benefits:
  • Higher quality of building materials
  • Efficiencies of a factory-controlled environment- precision construction
  • Highly trained production workers
  • Shorter construction time-frame
  • Reduced downtime from material shortages or inclement weather
  • Reduced job site waste resulting in a safer, cleaner job site
  • Reduced losses from job site theft
  • Engineered components
  • Guaranteed framing materials costs- quality and quantities on construction interest due to quicker framing time
  • Farwest's volume buying means lower material costs.
