Entekra is a design, engineering and manufacturing company that provides a Fully Integrated Off-Site Solution(R) - FIOSS(R) - for both residential and commercial construction. A unique construction approach in the U.S. market, FIOSS by Entekra leverages the integration and application of software, engineering, technology and modern methods of construction (MMC).
By consolidating a multitude of tasks that are normally parceled among architects, engineers, building materials suppliers and contractors, Entekra offers a more profitable alternative to the inefficient and often problematic on-site stick-framing construction methods currently used for more than 90 percent of new-home construction in the country.

With our Fully Integrated Off-Site Solution(R) - FIOSS(R) - Entekra is changing the way America builds. Developed by the most experienced team in off-site construction, FIOSS by Entekra completely integrates concept, design and engineering with precision manufacturing under factory-controlled conditions to deliver all structural elements of a building to a job site for rapid assembly.
A house being constructed with stick-framing is a common sight in the United States - nearly 90 percent of single-family residences are built in this manner. For home builders considering the transition to off-site construction, the prevalent and continued use of traditional construction methods may make them think, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it."
With FIOSS, we leverage technologically advanced - and proven - construction methods that have been around the world for more than a half-century to effectively improve productivity, build more sustainably, and address the need for more affordable housing. FIOSS completely integrates the concept, design and engineering of our projects with highly automated manufacturing under factory-controlled conditions.
FIOSS(R) significantly reduces framing cycle time. Framing a typical 2,500-square-foot house generally takes a crew of five workers 15 days (or 71 man-days) to complete. With FIOSS, the framing can be accomplished in just four days by a crew of four (or 14 man-days) with the assistance of a crane. This represents a productivity increase of more than 500 percent.
With off-site construction methodologies being relatively new concepts in the United States, there are often misconceptions about the process, the benefits, and other nuances. Here we help define what is fact and what is fiction. There are actually six different types of off-site construction - component, modular, panelized, precast, prefabrication, and volumetric.
