Accurate Housing Systems

Accurate Housing Systems in East Troy, Wisconsin switched from eFrame™ to MiTek® Structure-and modernized their truss design and manufacturing capabilities in the process.

1,300 single-family and multi-family projects in a given year

“With [MiTek] MVP®, I can tell how long it took to build a particular job. I can tell if we are making money or not making money on a job,” says general manager Sean Kelly. Justin Nagel has found “the 3D capabilities really eliminate a lot of errors.” [Structure] is a really great program,” sums up Sean Kelly. “We’d recommend it to anyone…anyone who doesn’t compete with us, that is.”

BACKGROUND

Accurate Housing Systems operates from a 65,000 square foot facility in East Troy, providing components for some 1,300 single-family and multi-family projects in a given year. Seventy-five percent of the business is providing roof trusses.

Challenge
