- A first look at zoning, access and utilities
- A ballpark budget for the whole project

Foundations
Three ways to set your home on the ground
We design the foundation for your soil, slope and model, then send the plan to a local contractor. Most of our homes sit on piers.
Perimeter footing
A continuous concrete footing around the edge with a ventilated crawl space underneath, so plumbing stays easy to reach.
Best for: Multi-module and two-story homes
Slab on grade
A flat concrete slab the home sits directly on. It costs more, but suits flat sites and patios at the same level as the floor.
Best for: Flat lots and homes with level patios

How long does setup take on my land?
Most single-module homes are set and connected in a day. Multi-module and two-story homes take two to four days, depending on the crane and how many modules are joined on site.
What does my site need for delivery?
A firm, clear route about 14 ft wide and 14 ft high for the truck, and room for a crane near the foundation. We check access during your free site review and plan around tight spots.
Can I visit the workshop during the build?
Yes. You are welcome to see your home at any stage. We also send photo updates every week, and you do a final walkthrough at the workshop before delivery.
What does the warranty cover?
The steel structure is covered for 10 years, the roof and building envelope for 5 years, and fixtures, appliances and systems for 1 year or the manufacturer's warranty, whichever is longer.
