nVolve Technologies develops high concept housing products by leveraging in-house build fusionSIP panels (Structured Insulated Panels) that can be configured on-line, with components being built in a controlled environment that can ultimately be assembled on-site in less than three weeks by no more than three people. We are not just a small house builder or High-Tech Construction company rather we control the full patent pending product cycle from Design to Manufacturing and deliver most of the fusionSIP products and solutions through selected partner network. The rationale behind the company is the recent radical shift in homebuyer demand which is being driven by tech-savvy, multi-tasking, enterprising Millennials which currently make up the largest generation of homebuyers in the market today. “These new buyers want high tech, high concept, high efficiency homes that really work for their growing families and active lifestyles,” states Chairman of the Board, Kari Myllykoski. “Large “cheaply manufactured” track homes are giving way to highly efficient residences with a lower cost of ownership and significantly higher resale values.” The patent pending nVolve Building System was developed to radically change and improve the homebuilding process and provide the Best Cost of Ownership to our customers. “We don’t build “affordable” homes!” he exclaims. Instead, nVolve offers a very high-quality home that can be delivered quickly, delivered and installed with minimal need for local contractors, and is designed to make effective use of living space in a very energy efficient package giving the homeowner or the real estate investor the best cost of ownership and possibility to easily expand the house at the later day. We are creating the biggest change in 100 years of building by bringing construction into modern times in the areas of business process, product and technology.
