Creating dwelling space by structural units called “units” with high durability and compatible members and parts. This represents the concept of creating Heim. The “reuse system house” is only feasible thanks to our own unit technology that assembles units accurate to the millimeter in our highly quality-controlled exclusive factories.
Using ZAM gilded steel plates with a useful lifespan of 148 years (our calculated value), the durability of Heim's unit is originally considered to be 60 years or more. Demolished units to be used for “reuse system houses” have verified the strength of these units.
The “reuse system house” is a system involving the reuse of the house itself. It is a living system that is not only environment friendly but also represents a new living style for future generations. The system makes it possible for a Heim built by your parents to be relocated and still able to support their grand children and families. Needless to say, the rebuilt Heim enjoys the same guarantees and support as a newly built Heim.
* The construction may be restricted in some areas under local regulations.
* Inquire to our salespersons or local offices for further details.

Units are removed using a method equivalent to that for the new Heim. Under these circumstances, the unit is transported to one of our special factories to play a new role.

The Heim unit, likewise, is renewed like a new building in our special factory.

A new type of house, of which 70% can be reused
|
|
The waste emitted from the demolition of a single house is said to be 40 tons. If a house having completed its initial role becomes waste equivalent to the amounts carried by 10 trucks of 4 ton loading capacity, this cannot readily be accepted under current and future situations.
According to the concept of “reusing system houses”, the familiar house, where you have long resided, does not become waste. Instead, 70%, excluding the foundations, will be reused for a new role, meaning that it minimizes environmental loads and also responds to the emotional attachment of the family having lived in the house.
Flow of the “Reuse system house”
Old house
All Heim and Toyou Homes can be accepted as trade-ins to build a new Sekisui Heim.
|
Ecological demolition work
The demolished house is transported to a special factory unit by unit, meaning the amount of waste and environmental load can be minimized.
|
Transporting to the factory
The transportation system used to carry the units to a factory is similar to that of new products, meaning the quality can be thoroughly maintained.
|
Inspection and renewal
Strict quality inspection and maintenance work are meticulously applied to every unit for the reuse.
|
New members
Inspected units are furnished with new members, such as a water section and outer and inner finishing.
|
Exports from the factory
Renewal units are finally inspected in a way similar to that of new products and transported to other customer's building sites.

Reuse house

The renewal units are used to build a “Reuse system house” on a new foundation in a different site. The methods used for the transportation and construction of the “Reuse system house” are thoroughly the same methods as those applied to a new building.
