We cannot be everything for everybody.

Our homes are not for everyone. We get MANY inquiries asking us to do things that we do not offer. To be very clear up front, we CANNOT be your general contractor, we do not offer custom homes and we cannot give you a price to build your home from start to finish. Our solutions are great for some projects, but not the right fit for other projects. Please read below so you understand what we offer.

What we do offer:

  1. Small modular homes built to the IRC building code and are set on your foundation. – See our gallery of modular homes we offer.
  2. RVIA certified modular container homes
  3. Complete floor plans and a “builders packet” – so you can build your own home or find your own general contractor to build from our floor plans.
  4. Panelized framing kits. This can be a great option in expensive and hard-to-build areas such as ski resort towns and remote cabin locations.

What we do not offer:

  1. General contracting services. We CANNOT be the general contractor for your home.
  2. Complete estimate to build your home – start to finish.
  3. Custom floor plans. We only sell our floor plans. We do not customize floor plans.
  4. Additions to your existing home.
  5. Help you find a general contractor in your area.

Site plans are located under the “Floor Plan” tab, then you select what unit you are interested in and it is located in the “Photos” section. Site work usually includes a foundation (crawlspace) and utilities.

PANELIZED SHELL KITS

Our Shell Kits are for those that want to larger home ranging from 600 sq ft up to 3000 sq ft. We are a Design and Wall Supplier, not a General Contractor. What this means is that you would have the responsibility of finding a GC or becoming an Owner Builder to be able to manage your project start to finish. The site work would have to be taken care before we would be sending a shell kit for the entire house. Below is listed what we include in our shell kit:

  • All preframed exterior wall panels
  • All reframed interior wall panels
  • Preframed garage wall panels
  • Windows and Exterior Doors
  • All precut structural beams and posts with hardware
  • Roof panels or trusses (depending on the home)
  • Lumber to finish trusses and roofing
  • Ice and water shield for roofing dry-in
  • Optional metal or wood siding (upgrade cost)
What this means is that we will provide all the walls and roof panels preassembled in our shop and delivered and put together on site. Once the shell is dried in, then the GC comes back with the various trades to finish the interior of the home.

PROJECTS THAT ARE A GOOD FIT FOR OUR POD UNITS AND SHELL KITS:

Workforce or employee housing in areas that require modern, attractive homes. In many locations, including resort towns, ski resorts, etc. manufactured, unattractive employee housing projects are not accepted. If you need a workforce, employee, or affordable product that is contemporary, efficient, and can be built quickly, we are a great option. Small home subdivisions with a modern look. We specialize in modern, affordable tiny homes ranging from 250 sq.ft. to 750 sq. ft. Construction is fast and hassle free. Resort hotel type projects, rental units, etc. Building in resort and remote areas is difficult and expensive. Doing as much construction as possible offsite saves you time and money.
