With the demand for housing in today’s fast-paced construction environment, time is money — and quality is everything.

That’s why more developers, general contractors and home builders are turning to offsite construction solutions. Combining the speed of factory-built components with the strength and durability of cutting-edge building science, modular and panelized home manufacturers are redefining what it means to build smarter and faster.

Offsite construction obviously isn’t new. But the modular and panelized homes of today are advanced, high-performance structures with design customization options and long-lasting durability that far outperforms their predecessors from decades ago.

Beyond improvements in building materials and manufacturing technology, prefabricated panel companies like CertainTeed One Precision Assemblies™ (OPA™) are constantly looking for ways to improve their products and processes to build more efficiently and sustainably and with higher quality.

In an industry where timelines are tight and quality expectations are high, OPA manufactures, delivers and constructs high-performance, weather-tight building envelopes for homes built in a fraction of the time when compared to traditional building methods.

Say Goodbye to Weather Delays

Traditional stick-built construction is often at the mercy of weather delays, labor shortages and on-site inefficiencies. OPA sidesteps these challenges by manufacturing fully insulated, code-compliant wall, floor and roof panels in a controlled factory environment. This means that while site preparation occurs, OPA panels are being built in parallel — dramatically accelerating project timelines. Once delivered, building envelopes can be assembled and made weather-tight in just days, allowing construction to proceed almost any time of year.

From design to install, CertainTeed One Precision Assemblies helps you reduce cycle time, optimize labor, minimize defects, and more.

Precision Engineering in a Controlled Environment

Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, each OPA panel ensures a perfect fit and finish. The factory setting allows for stringent quality control measures, resulting in assemblies that meet or exceed typical building codes and performance standards. This level of precision minimizes on-site adjustments and ensures that every component integrates seamlessly, reducing the risk of errors and rework.

Durable, Weather-Tight Structures Built to Last

OPA panels are designed for long-term resilience. The airtight construction and integrated moisture management systems protect against the elements, ensuring that buildings remain energy efficient and structurally sound for decades, even in harsh climates. This durability not only enhances occupant comfort but also reduces maintenance costs over the building’s lifespan.

Sustainable and Efficient Building Practices

Offsite construction contributes to sustainability goals by reducing material waste and energy consumption. The controlled manufacturing process of OPA allows for precise material usage, minimizing excess. Additionally, the streamlined logistics of transporting panels can reduce material delivery trips to the jobsite, lessening the environmental impact of emissions.

A Smarter Way to Build

CertainTeed OPA exists where speed and precision building converge. By embracing offsite construction, builders can deliver high-quality, resilient structures more efficiently than ever before.

Construction Labor Market Stable

The count of open, unfilled positions in the construction industry was relatively unchanged in October, per the Bureau of Labor Statistics Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey (JOLTS). The current level of open jobs is down measurably from two years ago due to declines in construction activity, particularly in housing.
