What is a Panel-Ready Floor Plan?
For homeowners who don’t want to design a custom straw panel home from scratch, a Panel-Ready Plan (PRP) may be the right place to start. Building Integrity has developed a few schematic designs suited especially for a midwestern market. Through Building Integrity’s relationship with Monarch Architecture, plans can be customized and drawings then completed to a homeowner’s liking. PRPs are optimized for straightforward and cost-effective panel fabrication.

A licensed engineer may need to be involved for projects outside of Missouri, depending on the requirements of the local Authority Having Jurisdiction (i.e. the city or county). Monarch Architecture is licensed in Missouri, and happy to coordinate with other professionals in Missouri and other states.
-
Panel-Ready Plans are suitable for slab-on-grade construction, and some designs are readily adjusted for a crawlspace or basement instead. Panel-Ready Plans are designed for trussed roofs with generous bio-based insulation, however exact truss design will need to be coordinated with local truss manufacturers. Mechanical system selection and duct layouts can be coordinated for a client’s location and budget with a local HVAC subcontractor.
