Dear Future Homeowner,

The first thing on everyone’s mind when thinking about building a new home is obvious: how much will it cost?

Panel built homes represent a happy medium of the three most common home construction methods. 

A hybrid of sorts, panelized construction combines the customizability of stick building with the efficiency and speed of modular building.

Before making a major investment, it’s not uncommon for prospective new homeowners to take a deep dive into the building methods for constructing their new home. Quite frankly, it’d be irresponsible not to. 

As a panelized home company that’s helped plenty of new homeowners realize their dream home, we’ve compiled a list of the pros and cons of panel built homes as we’ve heard it from past clients. 

We’ve worked with many customers to design and build their dream home -- one that meets all their needs while staying within budget.

But in our countless discussions with future homeowners, the most common question we get is: “This sounds great, but how do I pay for it?” 

A natural question, indeed. Building a custom home is typically a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Financing the construction is the other half of making it a reality.

As a company specializing in designing and supplying custom-home material packages, we’ve seen homes of all shapes and sizes. We often joke that we’ve never manufactured the same home twice, as each homeowner builds a house that meets their specific needs. 

What’s the #1 thing that stops a custom home dealership from building new homes for new clients?

In business, partnerships can go a long way in growing and scaling a company.  

The lifeblood for any custom home builder’s or dealer’s company is the extent of its backlog of upcoming projects. 

Whether it’s an agricultural operation or a residence, garages and barns are a natural part of the property. It’s hard to find a farm or home that doesn’t have at least one of either building type. 

In construction projects of any nature there’s something to be said for keeping things simple.
