Q. What are systems-built homes? Top
A. Systems-built homes are built in a manufacturing facility in sections then transported to a job site 90-95% complete. Once the home reaches the job site, the sections are lifted onto the home's foundation by crane. A finish crew will then complete the home by tying in the roof sections, siding, and interior finish.
