What is a Building System?

Simply put, a building system is a highly engineered method of producing buildings or building components in an efficient and cost effective manner. systems-built homes actually begin as components, designed, engineered and assembled in the controlled environment of a modern factory sometimes hundreds of miles away from their final destination. It is when these components come together on your building site and the final finish is completed by your builder, that the components become a home for you and your family.

I Get Confused When I See The Terms "Manufactured Home" and "Systems-Built Home." What's The Difference?

Manufactured homes, also known as mobile homes, are a different type of building system, constructed to a different building standard. Manufactured homes are required to be constructed on a non-removable steel chassis. Many communities have restrictions on where manufactured homes can be located.

systems-built and site-built homes on the other hand, are constructed to the same building code required by your state, county and specific locality and therefore are not restricted by building or zoning regulations. Your new systems-built home is inspected at the assembly plant during each phase of construction, encountering over 300 inspections throughout the process.

I Know That Systems-Built Homes Are Built To The Same Codes As Site-Built Homes, But Is Financing Any Different?

There is no distinction between systems-built and site built homes as far as appraisal or financing. Banks and lending institutions treat both types of construction the same. Likewise, there is no difference in insuring the systems-built property. You can contact our recommended lender, M&T Bank, for assistance. Click here to contact Justin Albright.
