About Us

Hurricane Harvey

Evolution Building Systems is an innovative off-site building company based in Texas with manufacturing facilities in Navasota Texas and Boydton Virginia.

As a Texas based company our hearts go out to those affected by Hurricane Harvey. We are uniquely positioned to use our talent and resource to help those in need. We have developed a series of efficient, well designed plans that can be produced quickly at our Navasota facility. These options offer well built solutions to get people back at home quickly without compromising long term quality and durability.

We integrate innovative building technology and off site fabrication systems to produce intelligently designed, precision built, environmentally friendly homes - the evolution of building...

Off-Site Construction Our facilities build in the same manner as site built construction except that we build in a controlled environment, without exposure to water, adverse weather, or labor diversions. Because of this, our process is faster and more reliable than site built construction and produces less waste. Sections or “modules” are produced off-site and only the final assembly occurs on site. Our process is not to be confused with manufactured homes or mobile homes which are considered temporary structures. Instead, we produce permanent structures, build on engineered foundations just like site built construction and feature the same high quality materials and name brand products found in site built construction. We also build to a higher standard and perform additional testing and quality controls throughout the process. In the end our structures look and feel exactly like site built construction - both inside and out, except our structures have increased strength, performance, and energy efficiency due to the rigors of our process.

Energy Efficient

Sustainable

Our homes are also energy efficient and environmentally friendly. Every home built by Evolution Building Systems meets or exceeds government guidelines and codes for energy efficiency by using thermal pane windows, elevated levels of insulation and energy saving appliances. Additional testing procedures optimize the performance of our homes.

Off-site construction is inherently more sustainable than site build construction for a number of reasons. We produce less waste and are able to recycle more materials due to our controlled environment. Unlike site built construction where materials are subject to moisture, swelling and often mold/mildew, our materials are not exposed to weather in the construction process providing straighter construction, reliability, and improved indoor air quality. There is less disturbance to the site because instead of a prolonged construction process which can impact trees and erosion, only the final assembly occurs on site. We also build to a higher standard which increases strength, performance, and energy efficiency of our homes. Safe access to all areas of the structure during construction, through movable catwalks and other measures allows more precise, tighter construction. Quality controls and additional testing throughout the process ensure consistency and performance. We can also produce under rating systems such as ENERGY STAR AND USGBC LEED Certification.

Disaster Recovery

Speed & Quality

We offer a series of efficient, well designed plans that can be produced quickly for disaster recovery. These options offer well built solutions to get people back at home quickly without compromising long term quality and durability.

Our facilities provide a streamline process to deliver pre-designed and pre-engineered homes with quality and speed. Our turn around time can be as little as several weeks rather than several months required for site built construction. Additionally our climate controlled facilities are not subject to weather delays and can operate with additional secondary shifts as needed. Our experienced workforce and quality control process assures that our homes meets all code requirements and are built to the highest standards. Our homes are built to the same building codes as site built homes and are erected on a permanent engineered foundation system, just like a site built home. And, the framing for our homes is the same as a traditional homes except we use additional lumber to guarantee a safe delivery to the site plus the handling by a crane once there. In essence, our modular homes are stronger, sturdier, and over engineered in order to withstand the transportation and installation process. In fact, FEMA has recognized that off-site modular construction is stronger than site built construction with the release of findings in its 1992 report of Building Performance after Hurricane Andrew in Florida.
