The FBS System

The FBS System of Home Production consists of applying the latest factory automation technology to the challenge of producing top quality custom homes, production homes, multi-family and commercial projects.

All walls, roof trusses and flooring systems are engineered and produced using specialized machinery in a controlled, off-site location. The trusses, floor system and wall panels are assembled on-site using a boom truck, Gradall or similar equipment and fit together within extremely tight tolerances.
All wall panels are produced using KD and Engineered lumber to within millimeter of specification, something previously unheard of. Wall panels are produced and sheathed in up to 27' lengths and up to 12' normal wall heights, windows installed, electrical chases often drilled. Windows are placed in an opening of exact dimensions with the flashing to manufacturers' specifications in a controlled environment. Floor panels (when appropriate) are produced up to 10' wide and 30' long, using I-Joist or dimensional lumber and T&G sheathing. Material such as open web floor trusses may be requested.

All these factors come together to produce a Home, Multi-family or Commercial structure of greater Quality than previously available, superb amenities and superior energy efficiency. The QC standard in Europe using the equipment on completed panels is zero air penetration in a 50 mile-per-hour wind.
