Systems Built Housing

Often called the future of housing, building systems techniques - concrete, log, modular, and panelized construction - construct much of a home off site, in a controlled environment. Systems-built homes are delivered quickly, with attention to quality control, and offer many ‘green’ characteristics to the buyer. Although the primary construction method of the home itself is very similar to modular homes (constructed in a controlled environment) there are distinct differences between the two.  Systems built housing manufactures appear to want to distance their housing product from the “modular homes” for several legitimate reasons;  construction-quality is higher, standard framing techniques and material quality are of a higher standard and the finished product for a “systems-built home” is more rigid and cannot be easily distinguished from a stick-built (standard approach) home.
