Building Systems

From one wall element to a whole house.

The same element builds a single-family home, a townhouse row or the infill walls of a taller frame. Below you can see what it is used for, the ready-made house models, and the tools to size a project.

What you can build

Load-bearing up to low-rise. Infill for anything taller.

Single-family

Custom and production homes, single-layer load-bearing exterior walls.

Multi-family & townhomes

Duplexes, terraced housing, and small apartment blocks.

Commercial & light industrial

Retail, public buildings, warehouses and outbuildings.

Frame infill

Non-load-bearing infill and interior partitions in concrete and steel frames, including high-rise.

Also used for fire separations, retaining walls, basement and partition walls. Load-bearing height limits depend on local code, typically up to 40 to 65 ft.

Home built with SYSTEM 3E
Single-family home built in SYSTEM 3E technology, Poland.
Ready-made designs

MODULAR: eight proven house designs, ready to build.

Alongside custom projects, SYSTEM 3E offers MODULAR, a catalog of ready-made home designs already engineered for 3E elements. Every wall is pre-planned to the element, so there is nothing to dimension on site: the kit arrives on trucks with an assembly manual and stacks together dry.

Tools and downloads

Everything an architect, engineer or contractor needs to specify 3E.

Estimate how many 3E elements your building needs, then take the technical documentation with you: data sheets, test reports, structural procedures, CAD and BIM files.

Element calculator

03E elements
0Gross wall area (sq ft)
0Approx. wall weight (lb)
0Est. crew-days for walls

Add up the exterior walls of the building, for example 30 ft + 30 ft + 33 ft + 33 ft = 126 ft. The estimate uses 5.71 elements per m² of wall (0.53 per sq ft) and does not subtract window and door openings, so it is deliberately on the safe side. Final counts depend on openings and building geometry.

Construction cost calculator

Indicative build cost for a 3E house, based on SYSTEM 3E group build data from completed European projects, converted to sq ft and U.S. dollars. It is a reference figure, not a U.S. quote. Site work, foundations, land, permits and local labor rates vary by state.

0Indicative cost (USD)
0Per sq ft (USD)
0Range low (USD)
0Range high (USD)

Reference model converted at 1 PLN = 0.2694 USD (Sep 2026) and excluding VAT, since U.S. projects are not sold with European VAT. Figures cover the house itself. Ask us for a firm U.S. quote with local costs.
