Mobile homes are supplied in defined sizes. Single wide units are usually around 16 feet wide, transported in a single piece. Double wides arrive in two parts joined on site, providing space comparable with conventional housing.
Groundwork shapes whether setup proceeds. The base has to be correctly graded and compacted. Utility connections need to be stubbed to position ahead of delivery. Access matters too: transport requires adequate width and turning room.
Going direct to the builder eliminates the dealer margin and this factory direct home builder often represents significant cost to the price. What changes lies in handling logistics: the three stages require organising. Working with a company providing build, delivery and install avoids the main difficulty.
Installation involves a clear sequence. The unit is set on the prepared foundation, after which secured to meet wind zone requirements. On multi-section homes the two parts are joined before the seam gets closed and trimmed. Utility hookups complete the process.
