To summarize:

The time to erect a "dried in" shell is substantially reduced.  This saves money on construction loan interest and labor costs, and affords the buyer the opportunity to rapidly erect a superior super-structure

WHY IS A PANELIZED HOME SIMPLY BETTER?

1.  Less labor required to put the structure up because the house shell is panelized.

 2.  Each portion of the house shell is built in our factory by a person that has perfected their job, creating a precision built home; certainly more efficient than a local framer building a home on-site for the FIRST time.

3.  Volume buying power.  With the factory building hundreds of panelized shells per year, massive volumes of lumber are purchased in bulk directly from some of the largest lumber suppliers in the world; thus the lumber quality we utilize in all our homes surpasses what other local home builders are able to purchase at the local lumber yard or 'big box' store.  The end result is simply a superior quality home because it was built with superior quality lumber.

4.  We only use superior materials.  A home built with superior materials (#1 grade lumber, and all engineered ZIP System® construction) equates to a home that will likely appraise higher than a home built with lesser quality products.

5.  Shorter construction time frame (which means less interest paid on your construction loan and you'll move in faster).

6.  Guaranteed price up front: there are NO typical costly price overruns.

7.  Less cleanup cost at the job-site.

8.  Less material waste (you're not throwing out left over CUT lumber).

9.  Less jobsite theft; it's hard to steal a wall panel.

10.  In many cases- because of the appraised market value vs. your lower construction cost, your mortgage PMI insurance is eliminated, thus lowering your monthly mortgage payment over the next 15 to 30 years, depending on the term of your mortgage.
