FAQ
Approximately $600 per square foot for the entire turnkey package which includes design, plans, permits, site work, construction, landscaping, and taxes.
No. We stick to the contracted guaranteed price with no surprise change orders or cost overruns. Changes are addressed before the start of construction. All materials are delivered to our climate-controlled factory before building starts, so there are no delivery, worker or weather delays -- the usual reasons for additional costs.
Pricing is based on flat lots not exceeding 7,000 square feet. Lots must be cleared of all debris, including, but not limited to, trees, foliage, damaged retaining walls, basements, damaged hardscape, pool, fences, chimneys or any other obstructions that may impede the construction process.

Homes are built offsite in a controlled environment reducing weather delays, waste, and costs. Once completed, they are delivered and installed in just one day, with final site work taking 4-8 weeks.
We use the same materials and meet the same building standards as traditional stick-built homes, but off-site homes are often better constructed than standard stick-built homes. This is because all work is done together as a team under one roof so mistakes can be caught and fixed immediately in the factory. Inspections take place more frequently, providing higher quality controls in the building process.
Yes, very good. The hOME’s components are built stronger with more precision because of freight and hoisting demands. Workers in a controlled environment that perform the same processes over and over are highly experienced, skilled and reliable at their jobs.

We expect the process to take six months from order to occupancy. Lots and foundations are prepared while the home is expected to be being built offsite. For reference, a traditional stick-built calendar for plans, permits, and completion is 18-24 months.
