Watch as our team installs one of our modular homes on a peaceful island in Maine. From the northern woodlands to the Great Lakes’ scenic shorelines, modular construction makes it possible to bring a home to even the most secluded spots. Check out this video for a behind-the-scenes look at the entire setup process.
Many modular homes are completed and ready to be placed on your property within a year of ordering, offering a much quicker turnaround compared to conventional home construction.
More Affordable
Because modular construction eliminates many expenses tied to on-site building, it often provides a more budget-friendly path to homeownership, especially for retirees and those purchasing their first home.
Built for Michigan
Built in a climate-controlled facility, modular homes are constructed to meet Michigan Building Code standards and use materials designed to handle the state’s cold winters, heavy snow, and varying weather conditions year-round.
Easy Approvals
Since modular homes are built to Michigan’s code standards and placed on permanent foundations, they typically qualify more easily for zoning approval, financing, insurance coverage, and HOA compliance.
