homes

[jm minica]

I am about to build one for a client, and I have toured a finished one, and one being built. The finished product is beutiful, but dont believe the hype on their website about them saving you money because of the panelized main structure. There are alot of hidden cost in building one of these homes. It's like building a big piece of furniture to live in, all structural members are finish grade, so care must be taken in handling and constructing them. If you are thinking of going with one of their basic structures with no add ons, then it will be easy to construct the walls and roof of the shell. I think it's true that you can put the wall and roof panels together in a day, but that part wouldn't take more than two days to stick frame. I like what they have, but you can pretty much figure the price tag to build one to be in the custom home range. I'll report back once I've had a chance to start building.
Aloha,
