Our factory built homes were the subject of an article in Quality Digest, a publication that recognizes only products of the highest quality. The article focused on the quality assurance, efficiency of production, and rigid standards that are an integral part of the manufacturing process. The growth of the factory on an international scale is due, in part, to its reputation for quality, and we are proud to be the only producer of manufactured housing to be recognized and featured by this fine publication.  CHARLES WESTBROOK (modified) This 2,548 sq. ft. (living space w/ garage) home was “totally erected” in 24.75 hours by an 8- man crew of experienced and inexperienced personnel. The owners moved in 73 days after the arrival of the second container. The total cost of the home is $193,750, which includes $40,000 for the lot. The completed appraisal is $295,350. This created a $101,600 equity position at move in date. “I would say this is a very affordable and valuable purchase.” Bill B. of OR TUDOR (with extension) “After dry-in, which took 11 days for the 2,500 sq. ft. superstructure, the project proceeded very smoothly. The homeowners happily completed their dream home with $19,000 equity. I am pleased with this project and look forward to many more.... Thank you all for your assistance, patience and guidance” Brad S. of CO (builder) M3400 TWO-STORY “Our house features 5,000 square feet with three finished levels and a detached garage with a guest house. The approximate cost to complete the house was about $220,000. The house appraised at $290,000.” Ted and Estelle of MD MANOR (modified) “Our 1,368 sq. ft. Manor style home appraised at $91,240, this was great considering we only had $72,000 out of pocket. We highly recommend to anyone who wants a quality product.” Roy of SC NORWALK “The total cost for this home with land came to $108,000. The appraised value was $139,000, which gave us an instant equity of $31,000 upon move in.” Greg T. of AL M2000 SINGLE-STORY “I bring this up not to brag, but to illustrate the value we received. We were able to afford many extras because of the savings in the construction. Our budget was $150,000; we spent about $142,000. By using a comparison approach, the house appraised at $192,000. By using a cost comparison, the house appraised at $222,000." George H. of OK M1000 SINGLE-STORY Roy built this 1000S Model in the Bahamas as a vacation / future retirement home. “The total cost for everything (including pots & pans) ran about $145,000 for this 2 bedroom, 2 bath home with expansive deck and steps to the beach. Informal estimates have a resale value appraised at approximately $300,000.” “Even though a primary reason for our housing selection was for a hurricane resistant design and the quality construction, we were still not psychologically prepared for what followed: A level 4 hurricane was headed right for our home. We watched the weather channel throughout the entire three days as “Hurricane Floyd” laid waste to the Central and Northern Bahamas. It appeared as though the eye had passed over us at the peak of its power. With all communications to the island being a memory, a week later we received a report that our house was still intact and minimal damage was sustained. In fact, only a handful of shingles were blown off and not a window was damaged, which was even more remarkable as we had no hurricane shutters. The eye had passed within 8 miles and winds were measured at 155 to 185-mph for a six-hour period and constantly over 100-mph for the next twelve hours. This is said to be the worst hurricane in the area in the last 65 years. I would say that due to the design and construction by the builder, the somewhat protected geographical location, and the Grace of God (not necessarily in that order) directly collated to our being able to say that our paradise survived.” Roy P. of NY M1700 TWO-STORY “Our home is located just past Marco Island. We have survived a major hurricane with our house still intact. On Sunday, August 23, 1992, we were located in the direct path of Hurricane “Andrew”. This category 5 storm had already devastated the South Miami/Homestead area. Over 65,000 homes had already been destroyed and “Andrew” was heading our way. It was Monday night before we were allowed back into our village. There was no power and no phones, but our home was standing proudly. No damage!!” Cliff and Rosie M. of FL - 1992
