Our Process

Watch each video to find out more on each step of the Order Process

1. Feasibility

The Feasibility Study is the first step in designing and developing a Homestead Model. The deliverables of this phase include: a site visit (virtual/physical), code Research, customer requirements, a schematic level (SD) site plan PDF, and an Early Panel (EP) 3D BIM.

2. Design Services

After the feasibility study is complete and the Homestead model with options has been selected - it's time to build your Homestead model - digitally. We make sure to integrate any constraints and requirements for your order. Once the digital fabrication and integrated design process steps are complete - it's time to build your Homestead off-site in our manufacturing facility.

3. Off-Site Production

When building the Homestead off -site we take special care to plan every day of production to ensure. Since we build panels - we make sure to build the house in a sequence required for shipping and offloading - so the correct panels go to the work site in the proper sequence. We only use recycled and wood-based materials with acrylic tapes and membranes - carrying through our commitment to healthy housing.

4. Onsite Assembly

It's the role of the Partner Builder to receive and install the Homestead Model. Phoenix Haus plays an active role in ensuring the Homestead Model package is shipped to your work site. Once the package arrives and is on-site the Builder takes over with their labor and overhead cranes to offload the Homestead Model for assembly on site. Phoenix Haus ensures that at least one team member is on-site to assist the Pre-Fab Builder - advising them on the new technology to ensure a proper offload and assembly of our product.
