We have a Wick panelized house. We had went with a modular (never manufactured IMO) the house before this. No comparison between the two. Panelized means they build the wall studs, stringers, and main support structures in a factory. They will show up with a crane and a crew will have the house shelled in 48 hours. Don’t have to worry about the elements much with them.
We were able to adjust some walls even after it was shelled. It then basically becomes a stick build. You can change or customize anything (obviously cost will change) besides the loading bearing and major structural things. We looked at stick build and it was more economical to go panelized. What sold me was the stick built guy told us we had to go into a lighting store and figure out what lights we wanted before seeing what they would look with the room they belonged. I realized that I was going to have to make 5000 decisions without seeing anything. Like size and style of mirrors.
The Wick salesman was able to take us to homes and show us several baths that they had built recently and what the area sketched out would be. I could imagine what we wanted more and use his recommendations on what would and wouldn’t work well.
