of How We Build
Panelized
Construction
"Panelized" refers
to a more recent method of home construction which a
home is built in wall sections, or panels, under ideal,
climate-controlled factory conditions. Floor systems
or "decks" are built the same way.
Exterior walls typically
have windows, siding, and wiring pre-installed. Decks
and interior walls are engineered and constructed to
accommodate plumbing and heat runs.
Roof trusses, gable
ends, and all other components needed to make a complete
home are then loaded onto specially designed flatbed
semi-truck trailers, wrapped with tarps for moisture
protections and trucked to a customer's home site.
Panelized homes are customizable, second
only to stick built flexibility. The panelized home
has the added benefit of quick, on-site completion,
often finishing weeks ahead of comparable stick built
projects. Hundreds of floor plans and interior trim
options are often available in a panelized home.

Advantages
of a Panelized Home!
- Reduced labor cost,
material waste and on-site labor hours due to quick,
simplified construction.
- Loan interest costs
are less because the "construction" loan
phase in significantly shorter than standard construction
methods.
- Reduced cost overruns
form unforeseen circumstances such as delays caused
by inclement weather, material shortages/theft, or
shortage of qualified subcontractors.
- The automated, controlled
assembly environment created homes of consistently
high quality.
- Continuous in-house
and third party inspections occur at the manufacturing
facility and on the home site making certain the home
meets or exceeds all local building codes.
- Homes are weather-tight
in three days with HVAC systems working, allowing
fast drywall installation and painting.

WICK HOMES
A quality home begins with a quality design.
Wick's designers combine years of home building expertise
and the latest computer modeling techniques to plan
every living space.
Before we begin framing your home in our
climate controlled facility, we've selected the finest
quality materials. And in our plant, Wick's expert carpenters
are inspecting for tight joints, square corners and
plumbing, level surfaces.
Examine a John Wick Home from the inside
out and you'll discover how Wick earned its reputation
for uncompromising quality. Steel basement beams and
posts add strength and rigidity. The sub-floor is both
glued and screwed so you'll enjoy squeak-free floors
for years to come. Energy heel trusses allow eight to
twelve inches of insulation above each exterior wall
for distinctively lower heating and cooling bills.
A John Wick Home is a testament to the
wisdom and value of professional engineering, high quality
building components, experienced design professionals
and good old-fashioned craftsmanship.
