A Strong Foundation
Our pier and beam foundations use massive anchors driven deep into the ground to secure your home against the elements, and we have crawl space, slab or basement options to suit any need.
2” x 6” floor joists on 16” centers means we use 48% more joists in our average home*, which combined with our interlocking floor decking ensures a solid sub-floor.
*Compared to 24” center floor joists in a 56’ multi-section home.
Exterior Walls
Keep your world cozy, comfortable & secure with 2” x 4” studs on 16” centers that are packed with R11 insulation to help with energy efficiency while ThermoPly structural sheathing provides durability, moisture resistance and a best in class air barrier.

Three Ways to Save
Every home we build includes EnergySmart® features with the option to upgrade if you want even more efficiency.
*Energy savings are projected using NREL® BEopt™ to estimate annual electrical energy consumption of a home built to ENERGY STAR® Version 3.0 requirements and/or DOE Zero Energy Ready Home™ guidelines compared to the same home built to base HUD Manufactured Home standards in select cities nationwide. Actual savings vary by home, usage, climate, and utility rates. “Up to 50%” savings apply only to EnergySmart® Zero.
