how we build
our primary method is to build the home offsite and trailer it to the site where it is placed on the foundation.
We also can do prefabrication if required. Generally the onsite work such as the foundation is done by a local
contractor. we can sometimes assist in locating a local contractor for you or we can subcontract it.
