Current News
The Uni-Panelized (Universal Panelized) Construction System full-scale Prototype is successfully completed (soon to be unveiled). Oregonized Builders has perfected/simplified its Class III Panelized Systems Technology with the development and construction of a working, full-scale model of the Uni-Panelized Construction System
(a redesign of the ICS). Apart from the overall improvement in manufacturing and assembly of the structure, the panels/components can now be easily installed or removed independently during or after construction. In addition, there is no longer any need to custom install the utilities (e.g. electrical, plumbing) into separate building panels, since now all the utilities can be easily installed into built-in channels (chases) that are easily accessed by removing interlocking access panels/blocks.

ICS advances Building Technology into the 21st Century.
This Building Technology simplifies the manufacturing, handling, and
on-site assembly process of modern housing. The innovative building process
utilizes building panels which are small, standard-size segments of the
entire structure. ICS panels quickly interlock together onsite without fasteners, resulting in a completely
prefinished home with preinstalled electrical, plumbing, etc... while
providing superior overall structural integrity.
ICS Building Advantages |
Real World Applications |
Low Cost, Affordable Housing
Superior, Longer Lasting Structures.

Full-Scale ICS Manufacturing Benefits
An efficient assembly/production line approach (much like automobiles) can be
realized by concentrating lean manufacturing technology to automate the
production of a limited combination of smaller “standard sized” ICS
panel/sections, thus reaching a production level not possible in today’s
manufactured/modular housing plants (where a multiple combinations of full sized components are conventionally framed in-plant) or on-site in custom construction.
The complete pre-finishing and preserving of these standardized ICS panel/sections can be more efficiently accomplished along the assembly/production line to produce a higher quality, longer lasting building component, compared to finishing full-sized components of modular and manufactured housing in-plant, or on-site construction using conventional finish application processes.
Current Building Technologies invented in the 19th Century
With the advent of the two-by-four and stick framing, Current Building Technologies were first invented in the mid 1830's and designed around a better quality material resource.
The lifespan and structural integrity of Homes built today is much less than that of Homes built over 50 or more years ago, consequently they're requiring major repairs within their first few decades of service.
