Building & Delivering Homes Faster

During the housing boom that now seems like a distant memory, cycle times in all areas of homebuilding operations ballooned.  The slowing market has further exacerbated the problem.  Sales backlogs have dwindled and as builders’ inventories are reduced, the need to build and deliver homes faster will become paramount for survival.  IB understands this and has developed innovative processes built with the customer in mind that increase accountability while eliminating non-value added steps throughout the entire home lifecycle.  The IB “Handshake to Homeowner Process” TM includes the following phases:  contract appointment, contract generation, contract ratification, mortgage approval, design selections, permitting, job start, construction communication, homeowner orientation, closing and customer care.  IB has developed innovative construction scheduling solutions that leverage manpower measurements and even flow production techniques to reduce construction cycle times by up to 50 percent.
