Prefab Manufacturing
The major components of the home, the roof, floor and walls, are manufactured in climate controlled factories, keeping the wood from the elements of nature. The result: cost savings, time savings, and superior quality.
Quality Controlled
Our goal is to keep manufactured homeownership affordable and attainable. One way we do this is by saving money and time through climate-controlled manufacturing. It ensures the lumber and materials remain dry and are not exposed to the elements, this way there are less warping and twisting and the lines stay plumb and perfect. A more comfortable atmosphere ensures there are no lost workdays to weather and our employees are comfortable too. That means we get your home shipped out from one of our facilities across the northwestern and central United States on schedule.

The Nelson Energy Wall
We build our panelized wall systems with the Nelson Energy Wall design.
Our factory assembled energy wall applies a 1 ¾” rigid extruded polystyrene insulation that creates a thermal break (no cold studs). This design reduces heat loss, increases energy-saving, increases R-value, and eliminates on-site costs for installing rigid installation. Exterior sheathing allows for the easy installation of any siding type.
