Dealers offering component products who may need data to illustrate the advantages of trusses and wall panels can take note of a recent side-by-side comparison, which shows that a home built with trusses and wall panels was framed <i>two and a half times faster <\/i>than a home framed with dimension lumber.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the comparison, two nearly identical 2,900 square foot ranch-style homes were framed using two approaches to their construction. One home was built using a \u201cstick framing\u201d method, and the second home was framed using components (roof trusses, wall panels, and floor trusses) that were manufactured to precision specifications, trucked to the site, and erected in a numbered sequence.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The goal of the side-by-side comparison was to see which approach to framing would take the least time, consume the least amount of wood, and require the least-skilled (and therefore lowest-cost) workers, while generating the least waste.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The results of the <i>Framing the American Dream<\/i> study were conclusive. The component-framed house required 152.1 man-hours to complete, whereas the stick-framed house required 373.5 hours. It took 250% (two and half-times) longer to construct the stick-framed home.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"zonda-image-block full-width \">\n\t<div class=\"zonda-image-wrap\">\n\t\t\n\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"653\" height=\"207\" src=\"https:\/\/zonda-develop.go-vip.net\/prosales\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2025\/06\/mitek-dec2016-image-5.png?w=653\" class=\"attachment-card-thumb-lg size-card-thumb-lg\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/zonda-develop.go-vip.net\/prosales\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2025\/06\/mitek-dec2016-image-5.png 848w, https:\/\/zonda-develop.go-vip.net\/prosales\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2025\/06\/mitek-dec2016-image-5.png?resize=300,95 300w, https:\/\/zonda-develop.go-vip.net\/prosales\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2025\/06\/mitek-dec2016-image-5.png?resize=768,244 768w, https:\/\/zonda-develop.go-vip.net\/prosales\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2025\/06\/mitek-dec2016-image-5.png?resize=653,207 653w, https:\/\/zonda-develop.go-vip.net\/prosales\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2025\/06\/mitek-dec2016-image-5.png?resize=315,100 315w, https:\/\/zonda-develop.go-vip.net\/prosales\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2025\/06\/mitek-dec2016-image-5.png?resize=202,64 202w, https:\/\/zonda-develop.go-vip.net\/prosales\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2025\/06\/mitek-dec2016-image-5.png?resize=232,74 232w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 653px) 100vw, 653px\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t<\/figure>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The component-framed house produced only 12 cubic feet, or about three 32-gallon trash cans.
