"Planet Panels enables us to not only build twice as fast as a normal house but also allows us to give our clients superior interior air quality without having to charge additional fees." Foundation Homes has chosen to move away from the conventional stick building and now uses Planet Panels exclusively to develop all of their homes.

• Panelized systems allow for rapid assembly
