FAQs About Building A New Home
Panelized vs. Modular Homes
Sometimes known as a hybrid modular, panelized homes provide many benefits not available with a typical modular home. The standard modular home is built for economy and often lacks in design. Without being able to properly accommodate for the layout of the land, the modular home can have a reduced lifespan. In panelized construction, only the walls are prebuilt and can be adjusted on-site to adjust any aspects that are off. A panelized home can be designed more similar to a stick-built home, although remaining more economical like a modular home.

How does a panelized home compare to a "stick-built" home?
A panelized home is identical to a stick built home, with the only real
difference being the construction of the wall panels, and roof trusses being
done in a climate-controlled, dry facility. This means the skeleton of
your house is not exposed to the elements as much as a traditional stick-built
home.
A Barden Home can be air and water tight much faster than a stick-built home.
