What does the Build-Rite process provide?

Build-Rite offers a complete structural analysis of a house plan. Using sophisticated software operated by experienced design professionals, Build-Rite professionals build a virtual house in 3-D. All aspects of the project (roof, wall, floor, and foundation or slab) are designed together using the same software and design team. The Build-Rite team looks at all major components and how the components interact to produce an efficient design.

What are the advantages of using the Build-Rite Process?

The Build-Rite process typically generates material savings ranging from $500 to $5,000 per analyzed plan. Exact and simple-to-use schematics enable less skilled or inexperienced workers to get it right the first time. There is no guesswork or communication gaps, dramatically reducing call backs and liability. By eliminating guesswork, plans are built faster. Efficient designs require less material to be carried around on the jobsite or installed. Working with an exact material list reduces delays and the extra paperwork that comes with piece orders required to finish jobs. Not only is money saved by purchasing and handling less product, expensive disposal fees are also greatly reduced.

Does the Build-Rite process come with a guarantee?

Build-Rite backs its work with a unique guarantee program. Build-Rite makes the investment; the builder reaps the rewards without assuming risk or negative cash flow.

What Does the Build-Rite process generate?

The process develops squaring diagrams for foundations or slabs; plates for each floor; schematics that provide exact dimensions and exact placement of every piece of required lumber; sheathing diagrams that show the exact placement for all roof and floor sheathing; complete and exact (not estimates) materials list; quantitative analysis detailing the cost savings generated when using the Build-Rite design; total surface area calculations for all interior and exterior walls, floors, roofs, and ceilings; all lineal measurements for soffit, fascia, gutter, flashings, ridge cap, interior mouldings, and exterior trim.

Does Build-Rite eliminate the need for designers and engineers?

The Build-Rite team works with the builder's designer and engineer to understand the scope and parameters of the plan being analyzed. The Build-Rite team doesn't make any architectural changes unless requested by the architect or engineer. Build-Rite looks for the most efficient construction methods and materials that meet or exceed the design requirements as determined by the builder, building codes and or engineer or architect.
