Does anyone know of any local builders that can build a pre-fabricated, panelized house?

I have a floor plan (from Home Front Homes, Inc. in Englewood, Florida) that I'm interested in. This company sells their hurricane-resistant structural panel home kits, ships the kits here, but then I have to find a local builder to put the thing together.

Before I know for certain that this is the way I want to go, I'd like to get a few estimates on building one of these panelized houses. (I already know the cost of the kit... Home Front Homes sent me a whole slew of renderings & floor plans).

i think you have to use someone authorized by Home Front, if you don't then any problems that come up, the builder will say it was Home Front and Home Front will say it is your builder. In the mean time your stuck with a home with problems.

I wouldn't recomend being the one caught in the middle, see if you can have Home Front put it together as well.

Contact the New Orleans area homebuilders association and ask them for licensed contractors who work with that kind of construction.
