Our house will be manufactured by Deltec Homes. It consists of 20 eight-foot wall panels and a self-supporting truss roof system. This is a model we use to show contractors what they're getting into. It was made by creating scale drawings in Adobe illustrator. Then we printed the drawings and glued them to heavy card stock.
The model below is at the Deltec factory, and illustrates the design and constuction of the house. Ours will have a walk-out basement where this model is built on pilings.

The house is delivered in two semi-trailers, and a five-person team puts it up in about a week. When they're done, we will have a weatherproof shell, but no interior walls. Suibcontractors will frame the interior and install utilities and cabinets.
