About Us
Established in 2007, Nor-Fab System Built Homes has helped our northwestern Ontario communities find affordable housing. We offer a wide variety of pre-designed, as well as, custom floor plans. Nor-Fab does not settle until you're happy with your home. Our homes are built by Shelter Home Systems. Nor-Fab will look after everything including placing and verifying your factory order, coordinating delivery and set-up, as well as the final inspection.
Environmentally Conscious
Building factory built homes typically have much less wastage. Building materials leftover from one home can often be used in another. Factory built construction allows for a tighter, more energy-efficient structure. A factory built home typically has more insulation than a site built home.
Cost Savings and Price
Factory design and construction offers many opportunities for economizing and increasing efficiencies. These cost savings are then passed onto the home buyer. When purchasing a factory built home, everything is typically included in the price “up front”, so there are never any costly surprises down the road.
Time Saving
Site built homes typically take 4-6 months from ground breaking. Custom factory built homes can be completed in 1 to 2 months, and as quickly as 1 to 2 weeks if purchased from a retailer’s lot. Factory built homes arrive on site as a completed home.
Quality Construction
The home is not subject to the elements such as rain, snow or freezing temperatures during the construction process and is constructed with strict on-site quality control following a detailed procedure manual. Our dedicated full time staff are fully trained and experienced. Each home is designed and built under the direction of our team of production engineers, supervisors, quality auditors and Intertek Quality Control Inspection. All our factory built homes are dielectrically tested and the plumbing system is pressurized and tested at 100 psi for 2 hours to confirm functionality prior to leaving the factory.
Home Owner’s Insurance

FAQ
Can I custom design my new home?
Yes. Every homeowner has their own individual preferences and we can accommodate these as long as the engineering department says we can build them!
How long do I have to wait from the time I order my home until it is delivered?
If you choose a “stock” home from our lot, this may happen within days. However, if you choose to factory order your home, the time will depend on how many homes are on order (backlogged) and the number of custom items in your home. The actual time to build your home would be about 2 weeks from the start of construction at the factory.
