Disadvantages of panelized buildings
- There is a level of inefficiency in transporting pre-assembled panels. Also, if panels must be moved greater distances, they may require additional reinforcement and structure.
- Trucking and transport limitations usually make it much more expensive to work with panels over 8.5 feet in width. Length limitations also must be considered.
- Some panelizers cannot make panels larger than 9 to 10 feet in width.
- The manufacturer must consider standard container dimensions if wall assemblies are going to be shipped.
