Home material packages provide a structured, efficient way to source the core materials needed for a residential build, whether you are constructing a fully custom home or working from a ready-to-move design. They are especially valuable for owner-builders, contractors, and rural builders who want a coordinated supply plan tied directly to their drawings, timeline, and site requirements.
Star Ready To Move Homes offers home material packages that can support a range of project types, including:
- Lock-up packages: Packages that include the basic shell of a home (walls, roofing, and framing materials), as well as windows and doors, so the structure can be locked up and protected from the elements while work continues on the interior. These packages can come with or without exterior finishes like shingles, siding, soffit, and fascia.
- Pre-engineered home packages: A catch-all term for engineered packages to build a home.
We also offer custom build packages that are tailored to the specific needs of your project!
Instead of trying to source every component from multiple suppliers, choose a more organized path from planning to delivery: choose Star..
What Home Material Packages Include
Home material packages typically include the key structural and exterior components required to complete a home build. Depending on the package level, this may include:
- 2×10 floor joists with bridging, double rim joists, and tongue-and-groove floor sheathing
- 2×6 exterior wall studs and 2×4 interior wall studs
- OSB exterior sheathing and housewrap
- Maintenance-free vinyl siding
- STAR engineered roof trusses
- Plywood roof sheathing
- Sub-fascia, metal gable trim, soffit, and fascia
- Architectural shingles, eaveguard, and synthetic roof underlayment
- Roof vents and attic access doors as required
- Maintenance-free PVC windows with triple-pane Low-E glazing and argon gas
- Exterior doors, locksets, deadbolts, and envelope seals
Exact inclusions depend on the type and scope of the package selected. We offer a number of different home material packages (including custom packages); contact us to learn more!
Why Choose A Home Material Package Instead Of Sourcing Everything Yourself
The goal of opting for a package is to simplify the building process by reducing the number of moving parts you need to manage. Rather than coordinating separate orders for framing, beams, windows, roofing, and other major components, your materials are organized into one coordinated package built around your plans.
This can help:
- Reduce ordering errors
- Improve budget clarity
- Minimize wasted materials
- Lower the risk of delays caused by missed items
- Improve compatibility between structural components
- Simplify planning for owner-builders and contractors alike
For DIY builders and owner-builders, this kind of structure is especially helpful. It creates a clearer roadmap and gives you more confidence that the materials arriving on site actually match the requirements of the home you are building.
How The Home Material Package Process Works
Material packages are tailored to your home plans. You can bring Star your own plans, choose plans from our library, or request custom plans from us. Take a look at our stock homes to get an idea of the kinds of homes we offer!
After approval, the package is matched to the plans, and materials are ordered and scheduled according to your construction timeline so the build can move forward with fewer interruptions.
Staged Delivery For Better Site Coordination
One of the biggest advantages of working with a professional supplier is that your materials do not have to arrive all at once. For many projects, especially owner-built homes and rural builds, staged delivery is a major benefit.
Instead of dropping the entire house package on site at the same time, materials can be coordinated in phases based on the build sequence. For example:
- Floor system materials arrive first
- Framing lumber is delivered for the next build stage
- Roof trusses follow when the structure is ready
- Shingles and exterior materials can arrive later in the schedule
This phased approach helps keep your site more organized, reduces material exposure to weather, limits storage issues, and makes the build easier to manage. For DIY builders in particular, staged delivery adds a level of control and practicality that supports smoother progress from one phase to the next.
