Simply put, a building system is a highly engineered method of producing buildings or building components in an efficient and cost effective manner. The use of building systems is common in many different types of residential and commercial construction. Why? Here are some of the top reasons:
Modular Built and site-built homes are constructed to the same building code required by your state, county and specific locality and therefore are not restricted by building or zoning regulations. A quality control process provides 100% assurance that your home has been inspected for code compliance and workmanship. Your new home is inspected at the plant during each phase of construction. Evidence of this inspection is normally shown by the application of a State or inspection agency label of approval.
Systems-built housing is a fast-growing modern form of construction gaining a growing recognition of its increased efficiency and ability to apply modern technology to the needs of the marketplace.
When you add up all the labor, material and time savings inherent in the systems built process, you will find that the price of your home is generally lower than a traditionally built home of comparable size.
Superior quality control, reduced waste and faster completion (30-90 days versus 6-12 months for site-built construction) are primary benefits.
The increased efficiency of construction results in greater value for the homeowner. Efficiency begins with modern factory assembly line techniques. Work is never delayed by weather, subcontractor no-shows or missing material. Harmful weather never touches the inside of your home.
The combination of reduced cycle time, more efficient construction, unlimited customization and a growing shortage of skilled trades are the primary reason many builders and homebuyers are switching from traditional site-building to systems building.
Today’s modular built home encompasses the entire spectrum of the housing market from the affordable single-family and multi-family housing to high-end luxury homes (several systems-built builders produce models that sell for well over half a million dollars).
Modular built housing is growing at almost ten percent rate over the last five years. Forecasters see systems built housing increasing its market share by twelve percent annually well into the next millennium (Frost & Sullivan).
Computerization has enabled systems-built producers to take a mass customization approach and design all models to meet a homeowner’s particular needs. The options are endless!
