1. Vast Factory

This photo provides a sneak peek of our vast factories, with several homes being built in a row. It’s easy to see the unique development stages of each home – from the flooring to the walls and the roof – all in one shot.

3. Awe-Inspiring Welding

In the construction of manufactured homes, the chassis is essentially the foundation of the structure; composed of primary steel beams, cross members, axles, leaf springs, and wheels that make up the running gear. Additionally, a steel hitch assembly is included, but it is typically removed for aesthetic purposes. When welding the frame or chassis, it is important to keep these elements in mind.

4. Moving Walls n’ Things

Watch as this team member places a wall onto the floor of a home using a jig to move entire wall sections into place. This not only looks cool, but it’s also incredibly efficient!

5. Taking Care of Business

Our factories employ teams of skilled tradespeople who specialize in a wide range of tasks. In this photo, our electrician installs a wall panel box. 

6. Roll-Out

HONK HONK! The single-section home is complete and ready to leave the manufacturing facility. The next step is to have a tractor pull it out of the factory, followed by a mobile home hauler hooking it up and towing it to the final destination.
