Factory-Built Walls:

Seven Reasons Why They Are Better

1. Less labor costs – One skilled carpenter and two helpers can erect factory-built walls faster than a five-member crew can construct them.

2. Quicker construction time – most homes with factory-built walls can be dried-in in less than five days.

3. Better quality – Precise sizes and cuts for walls and for window rough openings; gang-nailed sheathing assures uniformity and strength.

4. Dryer and Cleaner – walls are constructed in a closed factory, assuring the builder of dry and clean components.

5. Price Stability – factories purchase lumber in railroad car quantities, and these bulk prices assure the home builder of stable prices.

6. Less Waste – Unusable lumber is minimized, lowering costs for purchases and for disposal.

7. Computer-aided designs – Simple editing of plans can eliminate unnecessary studs, or add blocking where needed for other framing alterations.
