Mobile Home Builders and Manufacturers

More consumers are investing in manufactured homes and are hiring builders to construct their homes, piece by piece, in an off-site location. There are many advantages to choosing a manufactured home, besides the relatively lower cost. Extended periods of time spent in construction out of doors can cause damage to valuable materials; woods can buckle or be ruined, and you would have to pick up the bill. Nowadays, off-site manufacturers and builders will involve the consumer in every phase of the building process, from fitting their construction to the floor plan and models that they choose, to consulting with the buyer during the installation process.

Among the finest builders of manufactured homes are Silvercrest, Champion, Cavco, Redman and Fuqua. All of these home manufacturers can guarantee quality and reliability and their builders have the well-deserved reputation of being the best in the business. After you have selected your floor plan, the manufacturer will show you a model of how your home will look. Based on this model, you will be able to get an idea of your new home.

Of manufactured home builders, Champion is perhaps the largest and best-known name in the manufactured home construction business. Champion can build a home as small as 800 square feet or as large as 2,400 square feet. With Champion builders, you can find the kind of features that are not often seen in manufactured homes, such as fireplaces, skylights, luxury bathrooms and tailor-made cabinetry. Champion manufacturers have a network of builders located all over the country, all with excellent credentials.

Silver crest is another popular choice among home manufacturers. Most models are two to three bedrooms and are known for their superior construction. You can count on a rapid completion of your project, and at the same time, you can be assured that the best builders are constructing your home. Every home is approved by HUD, and you will experience no zoning headaches or other technical problems.

Cavco is the home manufacturer that is known for its fine selection of RVs and vacation homes. You can also find builders to work on the construction of your regular home, whether it is in a subdivision, a planned lease community, for your private property or located in an urban setting. You can find many special features that many home manufacturers can’t provide.

Redman and Clayton are also quality home manufacturers, and Redman specializes in classical construction styles, and Clayton builders guarantee your home’s sturdiness, fire safety, energy efficiency and insulation. When Clayton homes are constructed off-site, the builders inspect every section during every phase to ensure that there are no minor flaws that can create serious problems later on.

Fuqua is another well-known name in home construction. Fuqua manufacturers offer many special features, such as a 12 foot floor truss, that is stronger than the typical joists that are used. Fuqua builders use 50% more lumber than other brands, and they can guarantee their crack resistant ceilings. The roof insulation and the windows provided by Fuqua manufacturers reduce heat loss and the shingles have a 30 year warranty.

Once you have selected your home manufacturer, you might want to double-check with friends who have used the same company. Usually, word of mouth is best indication of whether or not you will be satisfied with a particular company, and a builder’s reputation is the best indication of good construction. Make sure that you are happy with the model and the floor plan before construction begins; it is always more difficult to change things later on.
