General

We have modular homes, and we have container homes, no mobile or manufactured homes.

Modular homes are set to a foundation similar to a traditional stick-built home and have the same appreciation value and maintenance. Mobile homes are designed to be able to move around. Mobile homes don’t hold their value as well.

No, our container homes are not shipping containers. Some may merely have the aesthetic look of shipping containers.

Land Preparation

A real estate agent can help find the land, and a contractor can assist with the setup and foundation preparation.

We can offer guidance, but finding land and preparing it, including pouring the slab for the foundation, will be the responsibility of the homeowner and contractor.

No, this is an additional cost provided by your local contractor.
