The Definition of Building Systems - A highly engineered method of producing building components in an efficient and cost-effective way. Modular homes are one example of a building system. Modular houses actually begin as components designed, engineered and assembled in the controlled environment of a modern manufacturing facility. It is when these components are assembled by the builder on the site that the modular components become a home.

The building process begins at the design phase. HandCrafted Homes uses state-of-the-art technology to assist in customizing floor plans and producing drawings and material requirement lists. Once the house plan is designed, the building process begins. This process is similar to traditional site-built construction because the quality of materials and building codes are the exact same. So why is Systems Built home construction better? Work is never delayed by weather, subcontractor no-shows or missing material. Quality engineering and modular construction techniques significantly increase the energy efficiency of your house and the quality control process provides 100% assurance that your home has been inspected for code compliance and workmanship. Our homes are inspected at the plant during each phase of construction. Consumers can usually move into their houses in less than 4 months after signing the contract compared to conventional site-built homes which range anywhere from 6 months to a year.  Our homes and site-built homes are constructed to the same building code as required by the state governments and therefore are NOT restricted by building or zoning regulations.

The Appearance of Systems Built Construction -Modern technology has enabled
systems builders to create any style of house or commercial building. Systems Built homes can be designed anywhere from a ranch to very contemporary, to Victorian era homes. Builders are also focusing more and more on Systems Built construction for banks, hotels, schools, office buildings and restaurants because they can build faster with less skilled labor and have buildings up in less than 2 months.
