Once you find a pre-fabricator they will build any configuration. I would speak with you local building supply companies and ask them where the nearest pre-fabricator is located.

We’re just getting started.

1. Is there an easier way to find a company closest to our build location (New Mexico) than searching the Internet?

2. How does one go about finding an architect to participate in such a project or does this framing style adapt to any plans we may wish to use?

Thanks,
~M

AJ – It really depends on the type of structure. For average garage or house walls, a crew of 4 and a good crane operator can probably set 30 to 40 panels. However, typically it works like this.

One Day a crew of 4 can set an entire floor level of panels including exterior and interior walls. So, if we have a two story colonial we’ll allow for 2 days to set all the panels including a garage. Another day to two days for setting trusses.

On average how many panels can a crew of 4 install a day?

@ JS – Thanks for the compliment on the site. Shop around, there are times when prefab is cheaper and times when site built is cheaper. Prefab is almost always of better quality.

Thank you for the quick reply. I think I’m going to go prebuilt. Hopefully it truly is less expensive than on-site framing — we’ll see after I get a quote for my drawings.

By the way, you have an excellent web site. Take my word for it as a web developer. :)
