How they save you time and money:

Manufactured homes can be delivered in many different ways, from pre-cut materials to precision manufactured components. When you choose to build a Viceroy home, it can be delivered pre-cut or panelized. Pre-cut is a convenient and intelligent way to build a good quality Viceroy home. You can also choose to build your Viceroy home with the convenience of wall panels. Panelization takes convenience one step farther to save you time and money while helping to ensure a good quality home.

How panels are made
Working with Viceroy wall panels is a faster, more precise method of house framing.  In general, the blueprints for your home are recreated in accurate software to define and identify the required measures and the best cuts possible that optimize the standard lumber sizes for its maximum use. Then our electronically computerized saws cut the framing pieces controlling sizes to be accurate, straight and consistent. To manufacture the wall panels we add an extra step: the cut lumber is laid in our panel lines for accurate assembly including appropriate nailing, sheathing application, and to precisely cut windows and doors openings.

This process is completed in a climate-controlled facility where wood is properly stored away from the elements, which ensures consistent quality and fit. All components are manufactured to strict building standards and codes, and thoroughly inspected every step of the way.

The benefits of panels
Panelized walls are built off-site in Viceroy’s state-of-the-art indoor facility and brought on-site to be erected. With panels, a home can be framed in less time and usually results in a better quality finished product. Panelized walls are generally straighter and more accurately built than those framed on-site

Using wall panels can reduce construction costs by providing both consistency and precision for easy site assembly. By using consistent straight walls, the installation of drywall and other interior finishes is efficient and convenient. Erecting a panelized structure is an accurate process that’s easy to follow and saves labour costs.

Far less scrap is generated on a job site using panelized walls. This saves money in waste scrap and dumpster rental and removal. And there is less worry about jobsite theft as panelized walls are of little use to thieves and simply hard to steal.
