ABOUT DESIGN/BUILD SUSTAINABILITY TEAM CONTACT US HOW WE BUILD The panelization process begins in our factory Our panels are easy to transport Our team assembles panels on site We also panelize roof and floor elements From here, the building is customized to fit our clients vision Interior Finishes conclude the last stage THE PROVEN BENEFITS OF HEALTHY BUILDINGS We panelized our first project in 2004. From 2004 to current day, we have advanced and perfected the panelizing process. With the advanced Design team, we can provide our specialized workshop with digital models. Through that, we simplified the assembly process and significantly cut construction time on site. In addition, we can plan the elements for high performance insulation, advanced heating-cooling systems, water conservation and non-toxic interior finishes. THE ELEMENTS OF OUR SYSTEM We don’t promote sustainable trends. Rather we provide our clients with the Periodic Table of Sustainable Elements. This guide allows us to foster sustainable options in the build environment. Whether we design an Auxiliary Dwelling Units (ADU) in a backyard, or a net-zero home with upgraded interior finishes, advanced insulation and grey water systems, we aspire to build with high performance to achieve the clients’ goals. Our integrated system of design, engineering, fabrication, and construction developed during more than 150 projects and 30 years of green and efficient building design and construction. We have perfected an integrated system with design, management, and construction services in-house—ensuring that design elements are carried through to construction and operation as efficiently as planned. We operate our own, local factory to fabricate our beyond-green building panels—that arrive on the construction site with computer-controlled features ready to assemble in up to half the time of conventional construction. This is a new way to build that is healthier, reduces your carbon footprint, and saves you money. Manufacturing Innovation In our local fabrication facility, we pre-assemble our panels in a climate-controlled environment using light-gauge steel framing and non-toxic and sustainable materials. Though we enjoy the time and money-saving benefits of pre-fabrication, we are not modular or manufactured construction. Our system allows us to build anything we design, up to four stories in height, in single- or multi-family applications. We meet all building codes in the 50 states, and comply with all forms of conventional funding. Quick Installation For a small single family home or Accessory dwelling unit the wall panels arrive at your building site complete with all window and door openings, shear panels, transfer posts, all studs, headers, and plates. These panels are up to 30 feet long and install as a single unit. A single story home can be fabricated in our factory in about two weeks while your foundation is being built on site. Once transported to your site, the assembly of a home takes only two to three weeks and is complete in six to eight weeks after that. From start to finish, you could move into your new home quickly and in less than six months, depending on site conditions and size of your home. Quality Control Panels are fabricated in a controlled environment by our skilled and experienced crews. There are no rain delays or stop of work when the weather gets too warm. Our computer-controlled system enables precise placement of framing components, windows, doors, ultra-high insulation, and electrical and plumbing fixtures. Strong and Lightweight Assemblies Light-gauge steel allows for stud placement at 24 inches on center. Steel is stronger, rot proof, and resistant to mold. The walls are straight and do not twist, warp, or shrink as wood walls do. Light-gauge steel has a large percentage of recycled material in its makeup and it is 100 percent recyclable. Find out more about why we use light-gauge steel rather than wood in our panels. Large-Format Panels Panels can be made as large as eight feet by 30 feet for fast warehouse construction. With the use of a high reach forklift or a small crane, these lightweight panels are installed quickly, fastened together and ready to roof with in a few days, depending on the size of the home. Cost Advantages Through our digital modeling process, we can predict resources, time management and cost more accurately than with traditional construction. In addition, pre-panelized buildings are constructed faster, making it easier to cut costs, which typically result in reduced expenditures. New construction loans are often shorter, saving homeowners and/or developers interest payments. Healthy Buildings Design Group, Inc. Healthy Buildings Construction Group, Inc.
