Systems Built Homes
(The Ten Most Important Facts)

• Modular systems building is a fast-growing form of construction gaining growing recognition for its increased efficiency and ability to apply modern technology to the needs of the marketplace.

• Modular systems homes are built with components constructed in a controlled factory environment to the same building codes as traditional site-built housing.

• Superior quality control, reduced waste, and faster completion (30-60 days versus two to four months for site-built construction) are primary benefits.

• The increased efficiency of modular systems generally results in greater value for the homeowner.

• Computerization enables Building Innovations to design all models to meet a homeowner's particular needs. This contrasts with the just a few years ago when the industry offered only a few standard models with limited options.

• The combination of reduced cycle time, more efficient construction, unlimited customization and a growing shortage of skilled tradesmen are the primary reasons many builders are switching from traditional site building to system-built construction.

• Today's system-built housing encompasses the entire spectrum of the housing market from affordable single-family and multi-family housing to high-end luxury homes.

• In 1999, modular systems construction increased by 16% leading all other forms of homebuilding.

• There are over eighty producers of modular systems housing throughout the United States. Fifty-four of them are members of the Building Systems Council of the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB). Building Innovations is a member.
