What is a panelized home?
A panelized home is constructed out of individual walls, or wall sections, built in a climate controlled environment, prior to delivery to the home site. Unlike traditional “site-framing,” which is done outdoors in the weather with rough lumber and other building materials that are normally dumped on the ground at the job site, a panelized home is done indoors with the added efficiency of computer automation and quality control provided by state-of-the-art wall table, production saws, forklifts and trained quality craftsmen.
Panelizedr homes are growing in popularity because of the increased value received for every housing dollar. UBH Manufacturing is a leader in building the home of your choice, in a controlled setting, with a skilled, fully trained workforce, protected from the weather every day thereby preventing any unforeseen delays. A panelized home is built to the same stringent site built building codes and considered to be the same in the zoning and financing processes. In a controlled environment, our materials avoid being damaged and the construction process continues year round, regardless of weather. The materials are ordered in bulk leveraging our purchasing power, enabling us to pass substantial savings on to our customers.
A panelized home is sometimes called a “pre-fab” or pre-fabricated home. They are also referred to as a “package”, a “shell”, a “panel home”, kit homes, or component built systems. A panelized home is NOT a modular home. A panelized or kit home is considered a ‘stick-built’ home; built in a controlled, automated factory environment and shipped in sections to your local building site to be fully assembled.

The panelized process allows the average person with NO BUILDING KNOWLEDGE or experience to build their own custom dream home without doing any of the physical labor. In addition, professional builders (contractors) and developers often use our efficient kits providing the opportunity to build more, in less time and with less cost, waste and man-power.
Panelized homes are houses that are constructed by combining modules that are created and assembled off-site, then transported to the property where they are joined to form a complete dwelling. As one type of prefab or modular home, the panelized home offers the ability to select from a set of preplanned designs to create a home that is the right size for the family. Since the panels or modules are constructed in a controlled environment, there are no building delays due to a lack of materials, inclement weather, or other factors that tend to slow down the construction process. The creation of a prefabricated or panelized home begins with the selection of a basic design. Unlike some other options, prefab construction of this type of somewhat flexible. Once the basic design is determined, the modules can be adapted to suit the tastes and needs of the individual purchasing the home. This approach helps to keep down the cost of new construction, by allowing the home to be constructed usin
Panelized homes are flat factory-built panels that are transported to the site location where they are assembled. Panelized homes are governed by the building code enforced in the jurisdiction where the home is to be located. These codes can be the BOCA National Building Code, the ICBO Uniform Building Code, the Southern Standard Building Code or the ICC One and Two Family Dwelling Code.
