Design + Build Process
How Do We Fit In?
Designing and building the high performing home of your dreams is an emotional and expensive undertaking.
As your design evolves, the number of decisions about building layout and material choices can be overwhelming … particularly as you struggle to remain within budget. Don’t let “cost conscious” decisions come at the expense of realizing the levels of comfort, energy efficiency and sustainability that were always part of the dream. Instead, choose to Build SMART.
We’ll show you how to save money while keeping your dream alive. Build SMART shifts the challenge of constructing a truly high performing building envelope away from congested building sites and into our factories with greater control over material quality and the building process.
Our process gives truly high-performance builders – challenged to staff their projects with skilled labor – a huge boost in productivity, producing standardized components of the structure in our factory … you then assemble them on site. Working together, we dramatically reduce your construction cycle time and deliver higher performing, occupied structures sooner.
Coordination + Virtual Build
Our Design Team collaborates and coordinates with your Project Designer to ensure an integrated product delivery. We develop detailed shop drawings and resolve open questions about desired energy performance of your building envelope.
Fabrication
Once Build SMART shop drawings have been reviewed and approved by your design professional, we will procure all necessary materials, and begin fabrication of your building systems.
Shipping
Your building envelope system will be shipped direct from our facility to your site with delivery arrangements made for you by Build SMART.
Installation
In addtion to a complete installation manual, Build SMART will be available for assistance and advice every step of the way.

Our Values
Climate + Health
In 2019, Build SMART became an official corporate signer of the Kansas Climate + Health Declaration, an initiative to “increase awareness of the impacts of climate change on public health, to increase civic engagement on climate action in Kansas, and to advance policies that build community resilience and safeguard the future of our state.” Enduring and resilient buildings should be the rule to guide our decisions about the built environment.
By focusing on climate and health goals, Build SMART aims to contribute to a sustainable future by creating energy-efficient, environmentally friendly, and healthier buildings. We strive to push the boundaries of innovation in the construction industry while ensuring a positive impact on both the planet and the well-being of occupants.
