Expand your business with MH Advantage-eligible homes

MH Advantage-eligible homes cut down on construction time because they are produced in a factory. Building the homes in climate-controlled factories optimizes construction technology, cuts costs, reduces waste, and avoids weather delays. Drivers transport the homes to the homesite for installation and final inspection. The time saved during this process means faster production schedules, more precise budgeting, and less inventory onsite in comparison with the production of site-built homes.

Homebuilders and developers can realize significant cost savings during construction. Cost savings come from various factors like economies of scale that can significantly drive down the unit costs. These savings also help increase profit margins and offset higher land costs. A recent research study determined the hard cost for construction, site preparation, delivery, and installation of a new MH Advantage qualified home ranged from $70 to $120* per square foot depending on the market. If your hard costs are above that threshold, leveraging MH Advantage eligible homes in the next development project could help you generate substantial savings.
