Retail Customer Information

At Pine Grove, we do our very best everyday to build homes that fulfill our homebuyers dreams, whether it be a starter home for a newlywed couple, a spacious home for a growing family, a luxurious retirement home, or a dream home. Many homebuyers, however, are tentative, cautious, and uncertain about the process, and rightfully so. After all, most people only build a few homes in their entire life- some only one. We've built quite a few over a quarter of a century and, hopefully, the experience we've gained might help to alleviate some of your apprehension or clear up your questions.

Do Your Homework

When it comes to choosing a manufacturer we consider it extremely important for homebuyers to educate themselves about the different products, specifications, nuances, what can and cannot be done, and how manufacturers differentiate themselves from one another. You wouldn’t buy a vehicle or a laptop without a reasonably intimate knowledge of its specifications, and building a home isn’t any different. While it may not be on the top of your list of things to do, we cannot overstate the importance of learning the significance of one set of construction specifications versus another, or the abilities of one manufacturer versus those of another, and so on.

The Home-Building Process

The following sample schedule can provide you with an idea of what to expect when building a manufactured home. As you might expect, much of what needs to be done is very similar to a site-built home, the only real difference being that you must have your options selected and finalized before ordering the home. Please keep in mind, however, that this is by no means an all-inclusive schedule. Your specific home-building process may entail even more requirements, or—if you’re lucky—less.

While building a manufactured home is typically completed faster than a comparable site-built home, you can still expect the entire process to take anywhere from two to six months from the point of the issuance of the building permit. There are, however, numerous variables that can affect the construction time, so it would be prudent to have extra time built into any construction schedule.

As you will see, just about any construction project involves seemingly endless steps and challenges, including the acquisition of numerous permits & inspections to the attention to detail incumbent in quality home construction. It is partly for this reason that Pine Grove relies on hundreds of highly-qualified retailers and communities to assist potential homebuyers with the process. Homebuyers should work closely with their retailer/community to foster a good relationship, open communication about what each party's responsibilities are, etc. Keep in mind that Pine Grove only manufactures the modules of your home and provides absolutely no support for any of the dozens of steps listed here. As always, if you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to drop us an email or give us a call.

REMEMBER: Any and all pricing inquiries must be made through your respective retailer or community operator.
