Northern Virginia Modular Home Builder Discusses Panelized Construction

LORTON, Va. - Virginir -- Carbide Construction is pleased to announce a new division of their modular construction company to accommodate smaller projects. Panelized construction follows the same concepts as modular, but on a much smaller scale.

With modular construction the pieces of the home or addition are built in a factory then delivered to the location where they are assembled, and the finishing touches are completed inside and out. One drawback to modular construction is the need for it to be a substantially sized project, meaning if it's not a new house or large addition, it's not the best option. Delivering the modular pieces and getting a crane to set just a couple small sections is not worth the cost and time.

So, to meet the need of smaller projects, Carbide offers panelized construction. Panelized construction is like a hybrid to modular construction but on a much smaller scale. Instead of entire rooms being constructed, individual walls and roof systems are built off site.

Many modular construction projects involve adding a second story or a good amount of square footage to the back or side of a house. However, if a homeowner just wants to add an extra room, like another bathroom or bedroom, the size of the project is not enough to warrant the construction of modular sections. Instead, panelized construction is utilized to put the walls together off site then assemble those at the home's location.

Panelized construction still offers the benefits of modular construction, which include lower cost, less disruption at the residence and fewer weather delays. With a stick-built addition, the entire construction process will happen at the home, meaning more noise and disruption to the family's daily life and possible delays due to weather. With panelized construction, the project can be completed much quicker, which translates to lower labor costs.

Like modular construction, panelized construction offers quality control. The panels are made with precision by machines in a climate-controlled workspace. This results in tighter tolerances for an assurance of quality.
