FAQs

How are your homes built?

Insulated metal panel construction. We use high-performance building panels for floors, walls, and roofs, in residential, commercial, and specialty structures and applications​

  • Panels created using a continuous manufacturing process that laminates 26-gauge galvanized steel on each side of a pre-shaped expanded polystyrene (EPS) core.​

  • The edges of each insulated metal panel have a “Z-lock” connection that runs the length of the panel.​

  • Continuous panel lengths up to 53 feet maintaining engineered specifications and strength​

  • Panels deliver high-performance, low emission sustainable building material​

  • The result is a building system that is very strong, predictable, energy efficient, and cost effective without costly maintenance and repair and upkeep costs​

What are the benefits of a BBS home?

  • Easy, Fast Construction

    • Tongue and Groove Connections, Quick Setup​

  • Customizable Exteriors for Aesthetic Flexibility

  • Durability and Resistance​

    • Disaster-Resistant Design, Long-Lasting Performance, Fire (up to 2-hour load bearing ratings) and Moisture Resistance​

    • 3x stronger than traditional framing and can withstand wind speeds beyond Category 5 threshold​

  • Thermal Efficiency (R-Value)​

    • Superior thermal insulation; homes stay energy-efficient year-round resulting in 50% reduction in energy use​

    • Energy savings for homeowners due to reduced heating and cooling costs.​

    • Less demand on the power grid​

    • Conventional 2"x 6" R value = 17.24 versus BBS 6" panel R value = 27​

  • Proven Durability​

    • Used for 30+ years in residential, industrial and government applications.​

    • Resistance to humidity, extreme weather, and harsh environments.​​

How does BBS construction compare to traditional wood framing?

Durability:​

  • Panels are more resilient in extreme weather, less prone to rot, mold, or pests compared to wood framing.​

  • Lasts 100+ years with minimal maintenance.​

  • Does not warp, twist, crack, or add heavy foundation loads.​

Speed:​

  • Significantly faster than traditional wood-frame homes, which can help alleviate the housing crisis more quickly. ​

  • Average build time for wood framed homes is 6 months. Our build time is one month​

  • 1 week for foundation work​

  • 2-3 days to install floor system​

  • 2 days to erect the walls​

  • 2 weeks for finish work​

Cost-Effectiveness:​

  • Lower long-term maintenance and operational costs compared to wood-frame homes.​

  • Easy to assemble with fewer and less skilled workers needed; this equals less trade management and less room for error.​

  • Standardized panels, reducing time spent on-site.​

  • Minimal to no material waste​

Energy Efficiency:​

  • Superior insulation (R-value) significantly outperforms wood in terms of energy savings.​
