Press Release: Domain Brings Innovative Approach to Custom Homes Built to Last

Atlanta, March 9, 2016 – While many residential builders may employ quality construction practices in an attempt to build houses to last, one Atlanta custom home builder in particular is utilizing a combination of innovation, craftsmanship and one of the most durable elements on the planet in order for his homes to withstand the test of time. The phrase “necessity is the mother of invention” is extremely fitting in the case of Jason Tillery and his company, Domain Custom Homes. A shortage of premium lumber and skilled framing contractors in Summer 2015, as well as a desire to be increasingly eco-conscious meant that Tillery had to become as imaginative with his construction as he had always been with his designs. That creative quest led him to an uncommon relationship with the team at Marietta-based Metal Benderz – a company that specializes in the design, manufacture and fabrication of exceptional light gauge steel framing for commercial, industrial, multi-family residential and single-family residential applications. Today, Domain Custom Homes is proud to present homes of exceptional beauty and durability, built around light gauge steel frames.

“There’s nothing unique about light gauge steel or the practice of panelization, but bringing the two together is unique,” explained Tillery. “We take our designs and employ builder information modeling (BIM) in order to create a 3D fly-through for our clients. They can sit at a computer with us and see the placement of every wall, window and door, and make any requested changes to the plans right then and there. This virtually eliminates change orders during construction, as well as waste because those plans are then used to create all of the construction elements – cut to order. The panelization process is kind of like a big erector set, but the benefits are far-reaching – straighter walls, faster production times, lower flammability, greater durability, no termites, lower insurance premiums… the list goes on and on.”

Near the top of the list of benefits for Tillery is that fact that each home he builds with the light gauge steel panelization system saves an estimated 40 trees. The new system also means less waste, which equates to a more pristine and safer job site – not to mention the fact that his company isn’t contributing surplus lumber to the local landfill.

“I’m a big fan of not only doing things differently, but better,” said Tillery. “We’re able to create better designs because of the strength of steel, and we’re able to construct a better product at a faster pace. On a typical job site, so much time is spent simply moving heavy lumber from one end of the lot to the next. Domain Custom Homes is doing things that should have been done years ago. We’re rewriting the script on how houses can be built.”
