Panelized Homes

What Is A Landmark Panelized Home?

Please enjoy our quick video!  Additional description is below the video.



Landmark’s panelized homes have been around for decades. People are just now realizing their true benefits. Panelization is simply the process of making wall sections in a factory instead of out at the construction site. By doing this we reduce waste, miscuts and miscalculations, control costs and insure a consistently high quality product. We are also able to give you a guaranteed cost for the materials we supply to build your home.

Some people call them prefab homes, prefabricated houses, panel homes, stick built panelized homes and more names.  The reality is our system of prefabricating the panelized home package is a more efficient method of custom stick building.

Landmark uses a quality production line to assemble your new home in a factory setting and controlled environment!  This has shown to produce a more consistent and higher quality product than conventional stick building at a controlled cost.

We can help you in all the states from New York, to Florida to California to Washington our panelized homes have been delivered to all!

Landmark’s panelized homes are not modular or trailer homes.  Panelized homes are basically stick built homes prefabricated into panels and trusses in the controlled environment of a production line.

Please enjoy the pictures below which explain the process.  At the end of the pictures we have a 1 minute video showing an actual home being assembled.

Panelized home is placed on flatbed trucks and delivered  to your building site.  The home components can be unloaded using a forklift, gooseneck forklift or small crane.  Forklifts are most affordable and can also be used  during the assembly processes.

At delivery, we supply the full assembly plans.  These plans show the exact placement or each floor joist, wall panel and  roof truss.
