One of the biggest decisions during planning is how the home will actually be framed.

Traditional stick framing means each wall is assembled on the jobsite. Panelized systems create those walls ahead of time and deliver them ready for installation.

Benefits of panelized systems include:

Speed
Wall sections arrive ready to stand.

Consistency
Stud spacing and dimensions remain accurate.

Reduced Waste
Less scrap lumber ends up in dumpsters.

Simplified Jobsite Management
Builders spend less time measuring and cutting.

Traditional framing still works well, but many builders are moving toward factory-built systems for efficiency.
