The single biggest difference between a system-built home and one built on-site is the building location, one is built on site and the other is built at an off-site Build Center with all of the advantages that go with that. Both are built to the same building code with the same materials. A site-built home has no financing advantage, no appraisal advantage and no appreciation advantage over a custom system-built home. Our homes have 10-year structural warranty at no additional cost, something very few site-built homes even offer. A system-built home is over-built so that it can be transported to the site and set on the foundation.
