Consider the advantages of factory built wall panels from EZ Home Kits’ manufacturer…
Panelized Homes allow Faster Building and Home Completion!
A crew of four can have your home to “Lock-up Stage” in 2 weeks or less!
Prefab Houses and prefabricated buildings mean High Quality work and materials are easily sustained in a factory, computer-controlled environment!
Factory purchasing of lumber, windows, doors and other components allows volume discounts, with savings
passed on to YOU!
Reduce On-site Labor Costs – framing stage and siding installation (with cedar option) are almost done when prefab homes materials are delivered to your home site!
No Seasonal Delays and reduced opportunity for weather damage, material waste or theft with panelized homes construction!
Reduce Construction Loan Interest Expense with Panelized homes you’ll complete your home sooner!
You’ll enjoy proven savings!
The following cost comparison information about modular homes and prefab homes was taken from a study done by the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB). The NAHB built two identical homes side by side. One was built with conventional “stick framing” techniques and the other using factory built components.
KEEP IN MIND that this example project does NOT include the normal panelized homes kit package inclusions, such as windows, doors, exterior siding, interior walls. insulation or wood ceiling liners – can you imagine the additional savings that will be realized using our Panelized homes manufacturers volume purchasing ability?
Stick Frame Component Difference
Total Man Hours to Construct 401 man hours 148 man hours 253 man hours
Total Man Hour Cost @ $20/hr for Average Framing Crew Labor (Components used Crane @ $500) $8,020.00 $3,460.00 $4,560.00
Total Board Footage Lumber (Sheathing Panels Same for Both) 20,400 bd. ft. 15,100 bd. ft. 5,300 bd. ft.
Total Cost of Lumber @ $450/1000 bd. ft., Sheathing @ $3748.00 (same for both) and Components at Truss Manf. Selling Price $12,928.00 $14,457.00 ($1,529.00)
Total Lumber and Panel Scrap Generated 17 yards 4 yards 13 yards
Total Scrap Cost @ $15/yd dumpster cost and 1/2 man-hour/yd to pick up $425.00 $100.00 $325.00
Total Framing Cost for This Example $21,373.00 $18,017.00 $3,356.00
Results:
16% cost savings by using components.
