Many of the panelized homes also use connectors to join various sections together. No idea why they allow it there, but it would be nearly impossible to build it in a factory otherwise. Doing it on-site defeats some of the purpose of factory built. My guess is that the location and conditions of when they are used when built in a factory may be more well defined rather than random in a stick built house.
