No, as long as the half-load restrictions in your area allow for 5 tons per axle, our trucks will be in compliance. If you’re unsure about local road weight limits, it’s always a good idea to double-check with your municipality/state DOT.
Plan for a clear, level area large enough to accommodate a tractor-trailer and forklift maneuvering. Ideally, allow room to stage the flat-packed components in a dry, accessible location near your build site.
Let us know in advance! We’ll coordinate with you to find the best delivery approach. In some cases, smaller flatbed transfers or off-site staging may be needed.

Most owner-builders find that using a panelized system saves 2–4 weeks or more on the framing timeline compared to traditional stick framing. The full build time depends on factors like weather, crew size, permit delays, and finishing selections.
Panelized homes optimize the construction of custom-built stick-framed homes, where wall panels, floor, and roof components are manufactured off-site and assembled into the building envelope or framing shell on site. Modular homes are factory-built finished sections assembled into a full house, often with transport limitations and more design restrictions.
Yes. Green-R-Panel components are built to the plans specifications required to meet or exceed state and local building codes, including wind/snow loads and seismic zones. Stamped engineering drawings for roof and floor trusses are included, and additional engineered drawings can be provided upon request.
Whether you have existing plans or working with Green-R-Panel to draft the plans They must meet building code and local requirements for you to receive a permit. All component systems are manufactured to each project’s exact design specifications. To assist with permitting we provide layout drawings, structural specs, and truss engineering as needed by your local jurisdiction to approve your application.
Yes. Green-R-Panel systems are manufactured indoors in a controlled environment, so weather doesn’t affect production. The quick assembly process means less time exposed to the elements during construction. Many of our projects are successfully completed in winter conditions across northern regions.
