What happens in the session
60 minutes. One clear answer.
The Building Intelligence Session is where you stop comparing options in your head and start comparing them on paper — your paper, your lot, your budget. We come prepared with real data.
First 15 min
Your property, your goals
We review your lot, your budget, your timeline, and what matters most — rental income, resale, family use, or a combination.
Next 25 min
The real comparison
Side by side: what Abodu, Samara, and other catalog companies deliver on your lot versus what a custom PrefabIQ build delivers. Same budget, different outcomes.
Final 20 min
Your path forward
Our honest recommendation. If catalog is right for you, we tell you which one and why. If custom is right, we outline exactly what that looks like and what comes next.
Your best outcome — always
Whether you choose catalog or custom, our expert network of prefab architects and GC partners executes the work. We guide you to the right path, then make sure it gets built right.
Real lot data
We use your actual property dimensions and zoning — not generic examples — to make the comparison meaningful.
A decision, not a pitch deck
You leave with a clear next step, not a stack of brochures. Custom or catalog — you'll know which one and why.

How the build team activation works
From vision to
certificate of occupancy.
We activate a vetted build team for your project — proven CA architects, GC partners, and direct factory access through our supply chain — and stay engaged as your strategic partner from feasibility through completion. You're never on your own with a contractor, but you also get a full professional team, not just a consultant.
Phase 01
Design vision
We explore your style, your life, your goals. Design direction is set. Factory partner is selected. Interior finishes are curated.
Phase 02
Plans & permits
Engineering, site plans, permit applications — we navigate every jurisdiction-specific requirement and manage city communication on your behalf.
Phase 03
Factory build
Your home is built in a controlled factory environment — 75–80% complete before it ever touches your lot. We oversee quality at every stage.
Phase 04
Site & delivery
Foundation, utilities, delivery coordination, crane set, and final site-built completion — managed through our California GC partner network.
Factory economics
Our supply chain builds in markets where labor costs a fraction of California rates. You get a premium custom home at a cost CA contractors simply can't match.
Half the timeline
Factory construction happens simultaneously with site preparation. What takes 12–18 months site-built takes 4–6 months through PrefabIQ.
Equity at completion
Every home we've finished has appraised significantly above the all-in build cost. The spread between what it costs to build and what it's worth is where your wealth is created.
