The windows seemed to be in place/installed already. Must be very efficient and better quality done in the factory rather than on site.

Seems that some houses still were built by block. I assume some models aren’t in the mix for factory built walls.

Does this type of construction allow for modifications by the lot owner? ie moving/changing windows, door, etc location….

Our Designer home, we built in 2013- we were able to move, enlarge etc. nice feature. Overall I love the prebuilt concrete walls. Seems to be great cost savings plus quality.

In South Florida where we are from a precast concrete home was the most superb to withstanding hurricanes.
