Hall County approves "system built" housing

Modular Home Builder blazes trial as North Georgia’s premier modular home contractor

After several informed round-table forums with county officials and two zoning hearings before the county commission, Building Systems Network is rapidly moving forward with plans to become the preferred residential, Multi-Family and Office Builder in North Georgia using building systems.

Hall County officially took steps to make the latest in home building technology available to it’s residents on July 7,2002 by approving systems built homes for all zones.

This change allows the latest in technological advances in the home building industry to be used in Hall County. A planning department report said that this building process “exceeds county building standards.”

Building Systems Network has been developing affordable, quality built homes since 1998 and set their first systems-built home in Hall County in February 2002.

“These are not manufactured homes,” said Grant Smereczynsky, developer of Building Systems Network . “These are modular homes. They use 30% more material than a site-built process an can be built faster, stronger and better because construction takes place in a climate-controlled environment.”

Regardless whether you’re talking about factory-built, panelized or modular homes, implant construction quality is invariably superior to what can be done on a job site. Parts cut with a hand saw or a hand-help power circular saw at a job site cannot possibly be as precise as those cut with a $10,000 radial saw or a $100,000 component cutter in a factory.

So, what is a modular home?

Simply put, a building system is a highly engineered method of producing building or building components in an efficient and cost effective manner. The use of building systems is common in many different types of residential and commercial construction.

Systems built housing is one of the fastest-growing modern forms of construction gaining a growing recognition of its increased efficiency and ability to apply modern technology to the needs of the market place.

Smereczynsky believes that once people see the product actually set on the foundation, they will understand why they are superior to today’s site-built home.
Systems built and site-built homes are constructed to the same building code required to your state, county and specific locality and therefore are not restricted by building or zoning regulations. A quality control process provides 100% assurance that our home has been inspected at the plant during each phase of construction. Evidence of this inspection is normally shown by the application of a State or inspection agency label of approval.

Today’s modular homes encompass the entire spectrum of the housing market from the affordable sing-family and multifamily housing to high-end luxury homes (several companies produce models that sell for over half a million).

Building Systems Network’s Sales Manager Greg Ryan confirmed the company’s intent to establish a Model Home Center in Gainesville. “Hall County is the hear of our market and is where we intend to focus our efforts to deliver homes ranging form 1000 to 5000 plus square feet. We are specializing in affordable, high Quality Lake home that can save the home buyer from 5% to 20% over other builders.”

Building Systems Network is a member of the National Association of Home Builders, Modular Building Institute, Modular Building Systems Association and the Building Systems Council. Rowland also stated that Building Systems Network has exclusive relationships with several of the large systems building companies including HandCrafted Homes, Excel Homes and Genesis Homes. Building Systems Network is “Top Performing Builder” for HandCrafted Homes in 2002.
