FAQs

What is a Wisconsin home?
Wisconsin Homes is a residential house much like a quality site built home. The difference is that Wisconsin Homes construction is performed in a factory-controlled environment instead of outside in the weather. They are constructed in sections and put together by a builder on your building site. Our builder-partners help you develop a housing solution. Then the home is engineered and built by professionals at the factory. Back to Top

How does the Wisconsin Homes construction process work?
The building process for a Wisconsin Homes begins by using state of the art computer aided design programs. Customized floor plan drawings are generated and then approved by the customer. The physical construction process is similar to what you've seen during the construction of houses in your neighborhood. High quality materials are used by skilled craftsmen to build the home. A formal quality control process provides assurance that your home meets or exceeds building code compliance and workmanship standards. In-plant inspectors, as well as independent inspection agencies, inspect the home on behalf of your state and local government. Wisconsin Homes is a model of efficiency and quality. Back to Top

Can Wisconsin Homes save me money?
When you add up all the labor, material and time savings inherent in the factory building process you will find that the price of a Wisconsin Home is generally lower than a site-built home of comparable size. Buying materials in bulk and having a fixed cost instead of being subject to cost overruns are examples of why factory-building costs can be lower. Plus, you will keep saving money year after year as your energy efficient new home keeps your heating and cooling bills low. Back to Top

What is the difference between a Wisconsin Homes home and a manufactured home?
Manufactured homes, sometimes referred to as mobile homes, are constructed to a different building code. The Federal Construction Safety Standards Act (HUD/CODE), requires manufactured homes to be constructed on a non-removable steel chassis. Many communitites have restrictions on where manufactured homes can be located. Wisconsin Homes are subject to the same building codes required by any state, county and specific locaity as site-built homes, Therefore, building or zoning regulations do not restrict them. Evidence of building code inspection is normally shown by the application of a state or inspection agency label of approval. Back to Top

Each home travels through departments staffed with specialized workers who represent every building trade. Work is never delayed by weather, subcontractor no-shows or missing material. Materials are also protected from the weather instead of being piled outside. Quality engineering and pre-built construction techniques significantly increase the energy efficiency of pre-built home.
