Systems-built housing refers to methods of construction that take advantage of modern machinery, computer and factory technology to create a code-compliant home. Systems-built homes use prefabricated materials, built in a climate-controlled environment and designed to work as a precise system, to complete the home. NAHB's Building Systems Councils represents the producers, builders, and vendors of the concrete, log, modular, and panelized home industries.

 

Both builder and consumer realize the benefits of systems-built housing. Most building systems offer a reduced construction time, allowing for quicker completion and move-in. Building systems also offer more cost control during the construction process and a high degree of energy efficiency.
