Panel buildings are constructed from factory-made wall sections, saving time and money. They have accurate measurements, use fewer resources, and can be finished in any exterior style or color.
A panel building is a structure built from factory-made wall sections, which are assembled on site. There are several advantages of a panel building. The most obvious benefit may be the amount of money a homeowner can save with this type of construction. In 2006, a study by the Structural Building Components Association found that a panel building, compared to a stick-built structure, required 37 percent fewer man-hours to construct.
Another benefit of constructing a paneled building is the time saved, which also means less money spent. One of the major delays in building a stick structure is time. If it’s raining or snowing, construction is usually delayed. With a panel building, each panel is built in an air-conditioned structure, which greatly reduces the amount of construction time. The panels can be built in just a few days. Once shipped to the main site, they can be assembled in less than a week.
Human error is something that happens quite frequently in club building. A new living room floor can be nearly square, but slightly wider. While it might not be obvious when you look at it, the building is still blown out of proportion. With a panel building, the cuts are generated via a computer system and all cuts and measurements are 100% accurate.
Individuals working in a panel plant are trained in a specific area of the construction process. With the amount of training they receive and the amount of time they spend on the job, they are considered experts at their job. In areas that require special building codes, such as those for earthquakes or high winds, these specifications can easily be factored into the construction of a panel building.
Panel buildings are also known as “green buildings”. They often have less impact on natural resources and can reduce a home’s energy bill. For example, over a 2,600 square foot (241.5 square meter) space, a panel building would use 76% less lumber than a stick-built structure. With their precision design and a combination of steel and Styrofoam, these homes cost less to heat and cool.
Builders are not limited in the type of exterior finish for a panel building. There are a number of choices, including veneer, siding, brick, and many more. A panel building can also be finished in almost any color.
Even for existing homeowners, it’s not too late to take advantage of a paneled building. In many cases, the panels can be installed on existing structures. This can help them get stronger and more energy efficient.
