System Built Homes are Manufactured In A Climate Controlled Environment:
Building in a modem system building factory means building under climate controlled conditions. The home is built in its entirety under roof and wrapped with protective weather proof material for shipping. This enables manufacturers to eliminate two problems which are inevitable to contractors building a home in its entirety on site. First, all materials including lumber, drywall, insulation, flooring and ceiling materials are stored and used only indoors protecting these materials from weather-related defects such as warping or bending, swelling, splintering, freezing and cracking, as well as preventing mold or mildew to settle and grow within the sub-structure caused by moisture saturation from exposure to outdoor elements. Secondly, a factory environment enables the manufacturers to avoid weather related delays that prolong the completion of the project and in turn prolong any inconveniences that you as an existing homeowner may experience during the on-site construction process.

Better Equipment:
By design, system built factories are able to use larger, more powerful and more sophisticated equipment. Because all main components are assembled with jigs, precision control is ensured. This means that every home is built exactly as it was designed, with all comers square and all walls and ceilings plumb. Quality is invariably superior to what can be done on a job-site. Parts cut with a hand saw or circular saw at a job-site cannot possibly be as precise as those cut with a $10,000 mounted/stabilized radial arm saw or $100,000 component cutter in a factory.

Better Materials:
Due to manufacturing techniques only the highest quality, kiln dried lumber can be used in a system built home. Because warped, swelled, badly knotted or splintered pieces would jam the precisely tuned assembly line jigs, all lumber is stored inside to prevent such damage. This means that better materials with tighter specifications go into system built homes. In contrast, lumber delivered to an on-site building location is constantly exposed to weather and subject to inevitable warping and /or splintering. As a result, the homeowner inherits problems for years to come initiated during the construction process due to the unavoidable weathering of the materials before the home is under roof.

Tighter Construction:
System built homes are literally built from the inside-out, ensuring tighter construction, something that cannot be duplicated on the job site. The engineered construction techniques increase the energy efficiency of these homes. For example, insulation around the electrical fixtures and caulking along the exterior sheathing seams as well as the additional bonding adhesive used on the walls, floors and ceilings helps eliminate infiltration of cold air in the winter and hot air in the summer. Another advantage to using adhesive to secure the walls, floors and ceilings is that nail pops and squeaks are less likely to occur.
