So, from time to time, I like to expound some terminology in my articles. Here is a question that I hear a lot:

Question: What does the term "stick built" mean?

Answer: Over the years, the term "stick built" has referred to homes built out of "sticks" or lumber ... on site, one piece at a time. The name was chosen to differentiate between movable or manufactured homes that are factory built and these site built homes.

Nowadays, it would be more exact to use the term "site built" as there are many ways to build homes "on site." There are Sip homes, Icf built homes, and varied packaged homes.

I wish there was a simple, easy write back or record for a "stick built" home but there no longer is. But, here's what I believe will be most beneficial to you ...

It's not so much about how it's made but where it's built and its classification. With that in mind, take a look at these three issues:

It's an issue of current and long term value It's an issue of financing It's an issue of classification for taxationWhen it comes to these issues, most all home building techniques fall under the "stick built" umbrella except for manufactured/mobile homes. This means, kit homes, log homes, panelized homes, Sip & Icf homes and modular homes.

When you hear "stick built," think primary home, built on a permanent, in ground foundation and constructed (or assembled) on site.

For the home's value, it's a much great long-term solution than a manufactured/mobile home.
