Replacing “Stick-Built” with “Systems-Built”. Today’s site builders always refer to?stick-built homes?as if they should equate to a quality-built home. Actually, the opposite is true. Think about it. Do you believe workers can work in the mud, wind, heat, cold, etc., on uneven ground and measure and cut lumber accurately? Do you believe walls and floors can be built with precision and consistency outside? Can windows and house wrap be installed properly from ladders? Most stick builders have dabbled in off-site construction. That is what a roof truss or a floor truss is. And why are stick builders using them? Because they know they are stronger, built consistently better, and are cheaper than doing the same thing onsite. However, they just won’t apply off-site construction to the rest of the houses they build.
A?system-built?home takes it to the next level. Instead of just using roof trusses or floor trusses, the whole house is built using systems. With?modular construction, this could be subcomponents that are built and then installed into larger components. Those components get installed on the floor assembly. Walls are built and installed on the floor assembly. Ceiling/roof assemblies are built and installed on the larger assembly completing a volumetric “box”. The complete construction process is engineered. The weather has no impact on the precision of a cut. Water doesn’t get on floors to be absorbed into the wood. A home is built efficiently and cost-effectively. Waste is minimized. Reduce, reuse, recycle is the mantra in systems-built construction.

The future of home construction is in off-site construction. Homebuyers are demanding more from their home. To maximize design, construction, installation, and?delivery efficiency, you can’t do it using just one building system. It takes the power of every available system to deliver the ultimate home product.?In today’s construction environment, just using roof trusses or floor trusses isn’t enough. To be efficient, to be cost-effective, and accelerate construction timeframes means using off-site construction. The art of delivering on all of these lies in harnessing the power that is inherent in and available in all of the off-site construction methods.
