On day ten of construction the semi-assembled frame arrived on skids.  Ryland uses a modern construction technique called “panelized construction”. In older or highly customized construction, the walls are built board-by-board by a master framer.  Though skilled, these walls can vary significantly from their intended position, straightness, or center construction.   Panelized construction is a newer technique where sections of the walls are built in a factory on custom “jigs” or templates that allow a high degree of precision and quality control.   The framers in the factory ensure that every wall section is uniform, built to code and of a high quality.   The sections come made to size and numbered so that it goes in the precise place according to your blueprints.  The framed sections are 2x4 construction built on 16 inch centers with OSB (Oriented Strand Board) as the outer wall sheathing.   The Windows are already cut and the Engineered Joists are already in place.  Framing will begin next.
