Integrating Panels into the Production Homebuilding Process
How do builders decide whether to use panelized house systems. What factors come into play when a builder is contemplating making a move to panelized construction. And for what reasons would builders who are inclined to try a new building technology choose not to use panelized construction. These are some of the questions asked in this study conducted for the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's PATH (Partnership for Advancing Technology in Housing) program in an effort to understand how builders decide to use panel systems. Twenty-four builders across the U.S. were interviewed, mostly from the Southwest and Southeast parts of the country, where the lion's share of new housing starts are taking place (according to the latest U.S. Census data). Builders were chosen in a wide range of sizes (from 2 employees to more than 100) and the number of houses produced annually (from 2 to more than 200). The builders studied serve all kinds of markets, from first-time homebuyers and affordable housing for lower-income buyers, to high-end custom homebuyers.
