At Trilogy, only the best goes into building our homes. From our construction philosophy, certified Field Managers and TradePartner®s with proven performance and safety records to our rigorous quality reviews, our state-of-the-art foundations and our plumbing systems, Trilogy homes aren't simply built better — they're built to provide the lasting value and peace of mind that come from owning a home of superior quality and craftsmanship.
Superior Safety Standards
At Trilogy, we build quality into every step of construction, starting with our TradePartners who don't just have years of experience under their belts — they have exemplary safety records. You can be sure they're keeping an eye on overall safety as well as on crafting the fine details of their job, reducing the opportunities for accidents and unnecessary costs due to on-the-job injuries.
Trilogy's Competitive Edge
Some builders use unskilled or inexperienced workers on the jobsite which can lead to lower-quality construction. Trilogy's exemplary TradePartners ensure not only the safest construction, but also one of the best-built homes in the industry.
Feature Details
- Exemplary Experience Modification Factor - TradePartner®s must have a 1.25 safety/X-MOD rating or lower — a measure of three years of workers' comp claims. The less claims or accidents, the lower the rating and the better the safety practices.
- Safe TradePartners onsite - With our quality TradeParners on the job site, you'll feel safe when you visit.
Eleven-Point Quality Check
Our dedicated Field Managers monitor our eleven point quality review and take the necessary steps to ensure the highest level of quality is being delivered for your Trilogy home.
Trilogy's Competitive Edge
Unlike most builders who use multiple managers for the same job, Trilogy assigns just one Field Manager to a home to ensure consistency of quality and efficiency — from start to finish. We also don't rely solely on routine quality inspections. Instead, we conduct extensive reviews and actively involve you in the entire process.
Builder of the Year
The high level of design and architecture of Trilogy homes sets them apart from all the rest. But it's the craftsmanship that makes them truly extraordinary. In fact, craftsmanship lies at the foundation of our sterling reputation, continuing JF Shea's 126 year legacy of quality projects.
Trilogy's Competitive Edge
An average home is just that — average in style and craftsmanship. Trilogy's unique approach to home building, however, results in homes that are nothing short of exceptional. With our 11-step quality process review, we systematically evaluate the home through various stages including site preparation, foundation, framing, mechanical, drywall, cabinets, finished operating systems and Quality Assurance team review. This diligent approach ensures no small detail is overlooked. Our systematic approach to home building has resulted in several national awards.

Reduced foundation movement will prolong your home's structural integrity, promoting lasting beauty to your walls, floors and other components of your home.

(minimum of 4000psi versus 3000psi standard) - Reinforced with steel mats/bars and/or cables for extra strength
- Foundation systems vary by community. Please check with your local representative for specifics.

Trilogy's Competitive Edge
Typical inferior quality paint can peel, be difficult to clean, have a strong odor and can even contain harmful toxins. The paint used on Trilogy homes is not only scrub-proof but it's also toxin-free. All of this while providing the latest interior design elements as inspired by interior designers around the country.
