People confuse modular with manufactured housing - mobile homes - and that's not what it is. "That perception is 100 percent inaccurate. Industrialized modular homes are built to the same building codes as traditional site-built housing. a short description. FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE / PRURGENT
Building Systems Network’s newest luxury, 8000 square foot modular home, “the Homestead,” being established in Atlanta Ga with an appraisal value of $1,105,000. BSN CEO Grant Smereczynsky invites city and county officials and the community to observe the process as part of his efforts to educate the public on the newest home construction technologies and trends.
The blending of hand-craftsmanship and heritage materials with the industrialized building process of this “systems-built” home is a significant example of how home construction technology has evolved in general. Not only is the Homestead one of the largest and highest-appraised homes built by BSN, but it represents the trend in American homebuilding as an example of what can be accomplished through the advanced technologies of the modular building process combined with custom finishes.
BSN describes the Homestead as a “blend of mountain retreat-American heritage-Craftsman design” with an elegantly rustic, boldly square styling, and details borrowed from the past. Set against the historic backdrop of Highway 60’s Squirrel Creek area, the site of the Homestead was the home of an early 1900s oak barn. In keeping with the Craftsman-style motive—to design and construct in honest handcrafted traditions—BSN crews carefully disassembled the barn’s oak timbers and preserved them for use in the Homestead’s interior as well as exterior trims.
“The Homestead” is a fitting name for this luxury retreat, a true homestead in the fullest sense of the word. Behind the main house is a matching garden house, complete with an oak-trimmed front porch, children’s playroom, garden room, and woodworking shop.
The main house offers a retreat-type lifestyle throughout its 8000 square feet of rooms infused with luxury finishes and handcrafted details. Natural materials suggesting “heritage” are found throughout, including hand-hewn Amish hardwood floors, and handcrafted oak trims. The Homestead features granite kitchen counters, two fireplaces, a state-of-the-art theatre room, craft room, teen suite, cozy finished porches, and a three-car garage with a 1,100 square foot guest apartment. The homeowner’s suite is a highlight of this retreat with a 600 square foot master bedroom, and elegant marble finishes throughout the master bath.
Smereczynsky is an award-winning builder, honored with three first-place awards in the national Building Systems Council 2003 Excellence in Marketing & Model Home Design Awards for his commitment and contributions to the systems-built industry. He encourages homebuyers and consumers in general to “keep current with the trends in home construction, and to not let their thinking or education become obsolete.” Smereczynsky said, “Take advantage of the fact that systems-built construction projects are being implemented here in the Gainesville area and across Atlanta. Find out about the process. Don’t lose out by letting technology pass you by. Instead, take advantage of the benefits and opportunities that come from being informed about new industries and trends.”
Industrialized, or systems-built, homes are constructed under optimum building conditions within controlled environments, at fractions of the cost and time of traditional site-built or “stick-built” homes. Unlike systems-built homes, site-built homes are exposed to unfavorable weather conditions during the construction process. The interior of a systems-built home will never be rained on during construction unlike site-built homes whose interior framing, insulation, flooring, electrical, and even finishes are subject to rain or weather damage.
The Homestead and other BSN homes represent a significant development in home construction technologies, and a brighter future for homebuyers. Homebuyers of systems-built homes like the Homestead will reap the benefits of the cost savings provided by the systems-built process. This includes significantly reduced construction time, which saves interest on construction loans, as well as considerable savings in materials costs due to the high-volume purchasing abilities of systems-built production facilities.
“See for yourself why systems-built homes are so sensible, that the future of homebuilding has arrived,” Smereczynsky said.
