The Systems-Built Advantage
Systems-built simply means that all or portions of a building are produced off-site, in an environmentally and quality controlled production facility. Double and triple-checked plant-produced building structures are then delivered to their destination to be erected or incorporated with on-site construction work.
All “systems-built” building components, whether aesthetic accents or complete structures, always remain in full compliance with local zoning by-laws and applicable building-codes. There are many advantages:
- Work is completed under controlled conditions, workers and equipment are protected from rain and other weather fluctuations, and “pride of accomplishment” produces the highest quality product
- Efficiency is greatly enhanced as the building component cycle is commenced in conjunction with building permits being issued. By the time on-site foundation work is completed the systems-built structure is ready for installation as opposed to sequentially built on-site construction
- Systems-built also means that each section and every component of your home is either handcrafted by the very best woodsmith, machine milled by trained specialists, or precision-built, using the latest computer-assisted equipment and technology
- Started off-site, your home is built faster - often saving months of time
- Accredited, on-site builders achieve close-in/lock-up far faster than if they used conventional construction methods, greatly reducing problems such as theft or vandalism. With the whole process completed in a quicker time frame there is less damage on products or materials susceptible to moisture (expansion) or heat (warping). Trades are used much more efficiently, mortgage draws are also triggered sooner, saving interest charges. Using a “systems-built” structure saves time and money and produces a higher quality finished product

The Raising
When the heavy timber system and cranes arrive you will be amazed at how quickly the shape of your home is brought together. What occurs in just a few days typically takes a standard framing crew weeks to accomplish. Our accredited builders will assemble all the elements of your unique systems-built structure, be it stacked logs, frame timber, handcrafted post & beam or pre-framed panel. All are manufactured with exacting care, precision, ease of assembly, ready for plumbing, electrical and fit and finish crews.
