Pre-framed

What are the pros and cons of a builder using pre-framed material to build a home? In doing so is 3 mos too fast to build a home using pre-framed?

Hi Deedee_RN,

Very good question!!!

Pros: Certainly less expensive. All pre-framed material is cut at very precise measurements. Weathering is not an 'issue' (so to speak.)

Cons: Probably limited in 'custom' requests, and perhaps VERY expensive for 'subtle' changes. Very low threshold for 'intollerances' where the pieces 'meet'.

I can't think of anything else but I'm sure there are others, either way. Do you have a specific concern???

My best to ya and hope this helps.
