Modular Home Construction
Our modular home construction service delivers high-quality, factory-built homes designed to meet Michigan's climate and building codes. Using precision engineering and premium materials like Pella windows and CertainTeed shingles, we ensure durability and energy efficiency. The controlled environment construction process reduces weather-related delays, while partnerships with local builders streamline site preparation and installation. This method offers cost savings and faster timelines compared to traditional site-built homes.
Floor Plan Customization
We offer extensive customization options for modular homes, including ceiling heights, roof slopes, cabinetry, siding, and window styles. Our online platform allows clients to personalize layouts from ranch to two-story designs, with over 100 material and finish choices. For unique requests, our team collaborates directly with homeowners and builders to adapt plans, ensuring each home reflects individual preferences while maintaining structural integrity and code compliance.
Energy Efficient Homes
Our energy-efficient homes feature airtight construction, high-performance insulation, and Energy Star-certified components. Certified by Green Built Michigan, these homes reduce utility costs and environmental impact. Advanced engineering ensures optimal thermal performance, while customizable options like solar-ready designs and eco-friendly materials allow homeowners to prioritize sustainability without sacrificing comfort or quality.
Builder Partnerships
We collaborate with a network of licensed Michigan builders to manage site-specific tasks like foundation work, permits, and utility hookups. These partnerships ensure regional expertise for navigating zoning regulations and environmental challenges, particularly in lakefront or rural areas. Builders handle full turn-key projects or coordinate delivery-only setups, providing flexibility for homeowners while maintaining the quality standards of our modular construction process.
Site Preparation Coordination
Our site preparation coordination service ensures seamless integration of modular homes with their surroundings. Builders assess property-specific factors like drainage, setbacks, and lot grading to optimize home placement. This includes coordinating demolition of existing structures, foundation construction, and utility connections. By addressing these elements early, we minimize delays and ensure the home's structural and aesthetic compatibility with its environment.

We are nearing the end of our journey, with a visit to the factory on 12/17 to see our home in process. I will leave a more detailed review once delivery has occurred and occupied. So far, the product has been presented great. My builder is great to work with. COVID has caused a couple of time delays, how could this have ever been anticipated

Mostly new employee's here who are still learning. They recently fired most of their long time employee's for varying undue reason's. Not sure what kind of business would do that during the hard times of COVID.

Looks like they know what they are doing here, we'll find out when we buy a house from them! You can also take a factory tour up the road, call Brandon at this location and set it up.

In the process of getting delivery on our home. I will give my full rating after the house is delivered and things are fixed. So far has been a very frustrating journey for my husband and I. Hopefully the road will be smoother from here on out. Time will tell. I'll update soon and leave my full opinion of General Housing.
