Begin Constructing Your Dream Home
Once your design and location are finalized, your home will be created in our climate-controlled environment, where the integrity of our materials remains impeccable, resulting in the highest quality home—no site-related issues, like weather, to worry about.
Our homes can take anywhere from six weeks to 6–12 months to arrive. While your home is being built, our team will begin site construction, including excavation and foundation installation.
Obtain Proper Permits, Licenses, Etc.
Building permits are still necessary for modular and manufactured homes. These permits are based on your city, county, and state. This may seem like a daunting process, but our team of experts can help you submit and obtain building permits to make the planning process simple.
Delivery of Your Home
If you have chosen a Clayton Homes of Grand Rapids-constructed modular or manufactured home, we will work with our delivery partner to transport your new home to you. From picking it up at the factory to placing it onto the carrier to transporting it to your site, we handle it all—all you have to do is show up and move in.
If you have chosen a modular home, your structure will sit on top of a metal frame. A crane will lift it off of the carrier onto the existing foundation. Manufactured homes, conversely, are pulled onto the slab foundation, and a supportive block wall is erected afterward.
Final Inspection & Move-In
Your home will be around 75% completed when it is delivered and set on its foundation. Finishing work will then commence. From there, your utilities need to be turned on. From this point, it will be about 6–8 weeks until you are able to move in.
The last few steps to take before move-in day involve some necessary inspections, permit approvals, and a final certificate of occupancy. No worries—you can keep packing while our team at Clayton Homes of Grand Rapids will handle all of these tasks. As soon as we receive that final authorization, you will be welcomed into your brand-new dream home.
