Once you have secured a place to build, choose your home design and finishes. Our core home plan designs—the Värm, Xyla, Zum, Tradd, and Nano—each have their own style and unique benefits. You can choose one of our ready-to-build plans under the “Express” route for maximum cost and time efficiency or choose any of our plans as a starting point for a “Streamlined” plan where you can modify the design.
Once your design is finalized and permits are secured, it’s time for the build phase! While your general contractor prepares your site, Unity begins crafting the shell of your home in our cutting-edge off-site factory. This parallel processing shortens construction timelines, allowing us to assemble your home swiftly all while meeting rigorous standards of performance and sustainability.
We send our skilled Building Systems crew to raise the shell of your home using the prefabricated components from our factory. The shell includes the insulated high-performance exterior envelope with insulated wall and roof panels, installed windows and doors, interior partition walls, interior service layer, floor systems, and any timber frame that may be part of the design. Our homes are typically raised in only 1-2 weeks.
Once the shell of your home is raised and weather-tight, your local builder begins adding the finishing touches that start to make your house feel like home. This phase includes installing plumbing and electrical systems, as well as drywall, siding, trim, mechanicals, flooring, and paint.
