This description of the owner and manufacturer responsibilities are based upon the Pompano model shown. The intent of this page is to clarify where our panel kit scope of work ends and the owner/builder's responsibilities begin so that you can plan the labor and materials needed to complete the building.
Our hope is that this will provide sufficient guidance for your cost and labor analysis. Electrical, plumbing and interior finishes are also owners duties.
