overmanbuildingssupply.com sells building & house kits out of Arkansas.

These are stud frame buildings(no pole barns) that are 95% precut , studs,trusses,tin, trim etc.

8, 10 &12’ heights. Their prices are very competitive. They will only ship 5 or 6 hours from Pocahontas Ar.

I bought a 36x24 with a 10” lean to. Excellent company to deal with.

BTW this is a NONPAID recommendation

Lots of talk about the need for more housing... someone is going to figure out a better house made cheaper and make a fortune.

Way back when you could order a full house delivered from SEARS - a mail order house shipped by rail to your local siding .
Advances now to ship by truck of panelized houses (factory assembled) set in place by truck mounted crane at homesite .
The place I have now came in this way (WICK Building Systems out of WI) in 1970.

I assembled Wausau Homes for a while. They were a competitor of Wick Homes.
