@d1incharge That's a problem they have with prefab homes . The slab or footings have to be dead flat . I haven't seen even the smallest crack from settling yet. The way we built it wouldn't have been possible to sheet the walls before standing anyway. Front and back walls were built on the slab while the side walls were built hanging off the slab elevated over the ground . Started building on a Monday and had friends over early Wednesday to help lift the walls .

15 days. What's that, the all time record?

Also, one reason you probably sheet first is so that you dont walk around in snow all day, or maybe your crew is so broke you cant afford a forklift to work off of.

nobody gives a fck how you have built your 2 houses in candada. Your country has more mobile homes per capita than anybody in the world.....do you build your big houses in factories too? Your country also has the slowest building times in the americas due to the weather for morons. Spend 4 hours shoveling snow, 2 chatting about hockey over coffee, 1 building something, then back home to shovel snow. When you can be outside framing houses 365 days a year, you might get experiance!

you're ignorance is startling. 300 houses? when you catch up to me and learn what I have, you will know the truth about what I said. And ... didn't you know ? we live in Igloos up here! radial symetric curves .... with hand saws!

sheathing on ground is for slow azz rookie morons. Do you have perfect slabs there? Perfect footings? I have never seen them in over 300 houses, so sheathing first would only leave you gaps across the bottom plate, add weight to the wall. If and 8ft was is 1/8 high on one side it will then be 1/8 out of level. It is just a sloppy shty lazy mans method. This must be why Candada isnt exactly where people go to learn about framing. Arent most new homes there mobile?

Yes I have done it both ways now . In the past I stood a 25 foot prefabbed wall by my self , windows installed and sheathed . J.W.
