A clearer path from model to build

How the Panelized
Home Process Works.

A clearer path from home model selection to pricing, documentation, production planning and construction coordination.

Pre-designed models Site-specific engineering Factory panelization Sequenced site assembly
From model selection to assembly planning

From Model Selection
to Assembly Planning.

Each stage produces a specific deliverable — so you, your contractor, and your engineer always know what's next, and what's done.

STAGE 01

Choose a home model

Compare Model One, Two, and Three. Walk through each one virtually. Read the plans and elevations. Confirm which footprint and program fits your site and goals.

WHAT YOU DO Compare · tour · shortlist WHAT YOU GET Floor plans · elevations · virtual tour
STAGE 02

Share your site details

Tell us your state, county, and lot information — survey if you have one, land ownership status, and utilities at the lot. This frames the engineering and pricing conversation.

WHAT YOU DO Share location · upload survey WHAT YOU GET Initial site fit review
STAGE 03

Review options & pricing

Walk through the available option packages — exterior, interior, kitchen, bathroom, outdoor, and site adaptation. Pricing is scoped to your model, options, and site context.

WHAT YOU DO Select options · review scope WHAT YOU GET Project pricing · scope summary
STAGE 04

Request pricing

Submit your project details via the pricing form to begin the formal pricing conversation. We review your intake, confirm model fit, and follow up with next steps.

WHAT YOU DO Submit pricing form WHAT YOU GET Pricing follow-up · model confirmation
STAGE 05

Move into documentation and engineering

Structural review against local code, wind zone, exposure category, soils, and site conditions. Engineering is sealed by a licensed engineer for your jurisdiction. Plan set and documentation package produced for permitting.

WHAT YOU DO Confirm site data · engage contractor WHAT YOU GET Stamped drawings · permit-ready documents
STAGE 06

Plan ordering and delivery

Cold-formed steel panels are fabricated and sequenced for assembly order. Panels ship to your site labeled and staged — coordinated with your contractor for foundation-ready assembly.

WHAT YOU DO Prepare site · pour foundation WHAT YOU GET Sequenced panel delivery · assembly documentation
Why 9 weeks is real

Engineered to Be
Built Fast.

Traditional stick-built homes on the Gulf Coast take 20–26 weeks from permit to move-in. Lumee delivers in 8–10 weeks. This is not a marketing claim — it is a function of four specific operational decisions.

Stick-built (Gulf Coast)20–26weeksPermit to move-in for a traditional stick-built home.
Lumee8–10weeksPermit to move-in, delivered in four phased bundles.
Framing crew3–4peopleErect the entire weather-tight shell in 8–10 days.
Fabrication30daysKit fabrication runs in parallel while the foundation cures.
Four operational decisions

Where the Weeks
Are Won.

DECISION 01

Parallel foundation pour

The moment the permit is approved, Lumee issues the fabrication order and the customer's concrete contractor pours the foundation. The foundation cures during the 30-day kit fabrication window — eliminating 2–3 weeks of dead time that traditional builds waste. (Concrete-foundation path.)

DECISION 02

Panelized steel, not stick-by-stick

Homes arrive as pre-fabricated wall panels, not individual studs — laser-cut, machine-punched and pre-assembled with sheathing at the factory. Each panel has a unique ID and QR code matching the assembly manual. A 3–4 person crew erects the shell in 8–10 days.

DECISION 03

4-bundle phased delivery

The kit does not arrive as one massive shipment that sits on the lot for two months. It arrives in four bundles, each timed to the next construction phase — so crews always have what they need, exactly when they need it.

DECISION 04

Pre-specified finish packages

The longest phase in any build is interior finishes, because buyers change their minds and trades wait on each other. Three curated palettes lock every selection at contract — compressing the finish phase by 7–14 days.

4-bundle phased delivery

Four Bundles,
Timed to the Build.

Each bundle is timed to the next construction phase, so material arrives as the crew is ready for it — never sitting idle on the lot.

BUNDLE 1

Structure & weather-tight shell

All structural steel, roof, sheathing, house wrap and exterior doors. The shell is weather-tight in about two weeks.

ARRIVES Week 0 RESULT Weather-tight shell in ~2 weeks
BUNDLE 2

Rough-in materials

Electrical, plumbing and HVAC rough-in materials, shower pans, and the Rheem Proterra hot water tank.

ARRIVES Week 2 SCOPE Electrical · plumbing · HVAC rough-in
BUNDLE 3

Insulation, siding & drywall

Exterior continuous insulation and fiber-cement siding, plus interior insulation and drywall. Exterior and interior crews work simultaneously.

ARRIVES Week 4 SCOPE Exterior + interior, in parallel
BUNDLE 4

Interior finishes

Interior doors, cabinets, flooring, countertops, tile, Swiss Madison fixtures, lighting, the Bosch appliance package and trim hardware.

ARRIVES Week 6 SCOPE Cabinets · floors · fixtures · appliances
Pre-specified finish packages

Three Palettes,
Locked at Contract.

Cabinets, flooring, countertops, tile, fixtures, lighting and appliances are pre-coordinated in three curated palettes. Custom upgrades are available — but the default path eliminates selection delays and compresses the finish phase by 7–14 days.

Palette 01

Coastal Warm

A curated palette with every interior selection pre-coordinated and locked at contract.

Palette 02

Modern Gulf

A curated palette with every interior selection pre-coordinated and locked at contract.

Palette 03

Classic Sand

A curated palette with every interior selection pre-coordinated and locked at contract.

Who puts it together

Who Assembles
the Kit?

A small framing crew erects the shell in days, not months. The panels arrive pre-fabricated, labelled and pre-fit — so the work on site is assembly, not construction from scratch.

STEP 01

Pre-fabricated at the factory

Wall panels are laser-cut, machine-punched and pre-assembled with sheathing. Each panel has a unique ID and QR code matching the assembly manual, and windows are pre-fit at Lumee's warehouse before shipping.

STEP 02

A 3–4 person crew erects the shell

A 3–4 person framing crew erects the entire shell in 8–10 days. After the first four panels, the structure is self-bracing, and simplified fastener SKUs keep the sequence fast.

STEP 03

Licensed contractor finishes on site

Windows are pre-fit but not pre-sealed: final anchoring and sealing are completed by a licensed contractor on site, keeping the build Florida-compliant. The electrician simply pulls wires panel to panel from a standardised panel location.

Starting the conversation

What We Need
from You.

You don't need every answer to start a conversation. But the more we know about your site and goals, the faster we can frame fit and pricing.

Project location

State and county — determines the code in effect, wind zone, and which engineer's seal applies.

Site / lot info

Lot dimensions, address, or APN. A survey if you have one. Ownership status — own, under contract, or still looking.

Preferred model

Model One, Two, or Three — or "not sure yet, want a recommendation."

Timeline

When you'd like to break ground — even a rough window helps us scope the sequencing.

Budget range

An honest range — even broad — helps us recommend the right model and scope.

Utilities at the lot

Existing water, sewer or septic, gas, and electrical — or "needs to be brought in."

Survey or drawings (if available)

A survey or site plan helps us frame the engineering conversation earlier. Share it if you have it.

Contractor details (if available)

If you have a GC in mind, or are open to recommendations — either path works. Let us know what you have.

Pricing factors

What Affects
Final Pricing?

Lumee doesn't publish a single sticker price per model. A project's number is built from the kit, the options selected, and the site context around it.

01 · Model

Which model you choose

Model One, Two, or Three — each has a different floor area, framing volume, and option count.

02 · State / county

Location and local code

State and county determine the code in effect, the wind zone, exposure category, and the engineering review required.

03 · Site access

Site access and staging

Panel delivery logistics depend on distance from fabrication, site access, and how panels are staged at the lot.

04 · Foundation

Foundation type and conditions

Pier, slab, or stem-wall — selected per site engineering based on soils, slope, and flood zone designation.

05 · Delivery

Delivery logistics

Distance from the fabrication facility, panel sequencing, and on-site staging and crane requirements.

06 · Kit scope

Kit scope and options

The defined model plus any option packages selected — exterior finish, interior palette, kitchen, bathroom, outdoor living.

07 · Finish scope

Finish scope beyond options

Finish work beyond the defined option packages, including utility connections and fixtures completed on site.

08 · Contractor

Contractor and assembly responsibility

Your GC scopes and prices MEP rough-in, general conditions, and all items outside the Lumee kit scope locally.

09 · Local code

Permit and inspection scope

AHJ requirements, inspection sequencing, and any jurisdiction-specific conditions that affect the review and approval path.

Note · Lumee provides project-level pricing for the kit and defined options. Your GC scopes and prices items outside the kit locally.
