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. Once the
home is set, we can complete additional features such as
garages, porches, and decks.

Q. Why should I choose
a systems-built home over a conventionally built home?
Top
A. The systems-built construction process provides for
a superior home. Because we build our homes indoors, in
a controlled environment, we are able to maintain a
steady and constant work force throughout the year that
helps ensure quality measures are maintained. We are
able to deliver a home to your site in 8-10 weeks
resulting in faster completion time and less interest on
your construction loan. Finally, every home is third
party inspected in our facility prior to the standard on
site inspections.

take to build my custom home in the factory? Top

the home is placed on its foundation depending on the
style of the home you have selected.
