Our systems-built homes are top of the line in quality, finishes, and comfort.
With decades of experience in home building, we’ve evolved the traditional stick-build process to provide the same quality and expertise you would expect from our flagship brand, Front Light Building Company in 30-50% less time.
Our in-house design studio will allow you to build and customize your home’s flooring, trim, and finishes in a matter of hours, not days. Choose from home models ranging from 1,600 sq. ft. to 3,000 sq. ft.

Benefits of a Systems-Built Home Versus Traditional Home Construction
Speed
Our Sytems-Built homes are completed in a fraction of the time. While the site is being prepped, the home is already under construction in the factory.
Consistency
Because our homes are built in quality-controlled environments, weather, contractor competence, and other challenges faced with stick-built homes are avoided.
Reduced Impact
Site prep is the only work done on the lot prior to placement, and materials waste is avoided thanks to factory quality controls. This reduces environmental impact.
We Make it Easy to Build Your Dream Home in Fraction of the time.
The Five-Step Systems-Built Process is Easy & Fun

Step 4: Construction

Some actions include:
- All plans are ready for construction at the factory.
- Foundation and site prep begins.
- Factory construction is completed.
- Home is set on the site.
Step 5: Completion
Home is Finalized and Turned Over
The final step is nearly here, and the move-in date is just around the corner.
Some actions include:
- Flooring, trim details, paint, and finishes are completed inside.
- Landscaping, external details, and any exterior structures such as a garage are completed outside.
- Final walk-through and then the keys are turned over to the new homeowner.
