Choose how your dry-in package gets built.

Every Buffalo River package includes the coordinated materials for a dry-in shell. Choose uncut lumber, precut components, preframed walls, or Thermatech exterior panels—with REZ Wood and typical-lumber options.

Quick comparison

The same dry-in scope. Four levels of preparation.

Start with how much work you want completed before the truck reaches your jobsite. Final availability, engineering, takeoff, delivery, and project-specific details are confirmed in the written quote.

REZ Wood or typical lumber

Choose the framing that fits your project.

REZ Wood is the treated-lumber option for our uncut-bunk, precut, and preframed dry-in packages, as well as the interior walls paired with Thermatech exteriors. Typical lumber is also available in each wood configuration.

  • REZ Wood treatments designed to help resist mold, rot, and wood-boring pests, including termites
  • Typical lumber for conventional untreated framing
  • Optional fire-retardant-treated lumber quoted separately where supported by the final design and supplier documentation
  • Treatment, warranty, storage, and availability confirmed by selection
  • Interior wall framing included in every dry-in package

Thermatech

Exterior framing and insulation arrive together.

Thermatech panels are for exterior walls only. The complete dry-in package pairs them with interior lumber bunks or preframed interior walls, available in REZ Wood or typical lumber, plus the same standard exterior, roof, opening, and trim scope.

  • Thermatech panels form the exterior wall system
  • Factory-controlled panel production and faster field setup
  • Framing, insulation, thermal-break, and air/vapor-barrier functions coordinated in one exterior panel
  • A June 2026 third-party assessment modeled the 5.5-inch Thermatech assemblies at approximately R-20.5 to R-21.1
  • In the report's model, a conventional wall would need roughly R-42 to R-43 in wood framing or R-49 to R-50 in steel framing to compare*
  • *Comparative modeled performance, including assumed air-leakage improvement; the higher numbers are not directly tested Thermatech insulation ratings

Four ways to build your dry-in package

Available configurations.

Every configuration includes the coordinated dry-in materials. Choose the wall-framing preparation that fits your crew, timeline, and jobsite.

01Dry-in package · field-cut framingUncut Lumber BunksFull-length lumber plus coordinated dry-in materials. Your crew measures, cuts, and assembles the walls onsite.Available inREZ WoodMold, rot & wood-boring pest resistanceTypical lumberConventional framing lumberSee what's included
Full-length REZ Wood framing lumber bundled for delivery

Choose uncut REZ Wood or typical lumber. Buffalo River organizes the plan-based framing into job-ready bunks while your crew handles measuring, field cutting, and assembly. The coordinated dry-in materials come with either lumber choice.

Thermatech panels are for the exterior walls. The package combines exterior framing and insulation before delivery, plus all coordinated dry-in materials. For the interior, choose full-length lumber bunks or preframed walls in REZ Wood or typical lumber.

Explore Thermatech

High-efficiency note: A June 2026 third-party thermal model says a conventional wall would need roughly R-42 to R-43 in wood framing or R-49 to R-50 in steel framing to compare with the modeled Thermatech system. The Thermatech assemblies themselves modeled at approximately R-20.5 to R-21.1; the higher numbers are comparative equivalents that include assumed air-leakage improvement, not directly tested Thermatech insulation ratings.

What's included

  • Preinsulated Thermatech exterior wall panels only
  • Interior framing options: lumber bunks or preframed walls in REZ Wood or typical lumber
  • Precut exterior window and door openings
  • Windows
