When you are thinking about buying a home, the home building company you choose is of utmost importance. You want a company that you and your family can rely on. There are so many companies out there now, it makes it difficult to decide which to choose. Always do your own research on the subject and ask for references.
There are some companies that already have a stellar reputation and many building companies that are on their way to building a great reputation. Below we share with you some building companies, we think you should watch. These companies are up and coming, and getting known as companies that will work with you to build the home you need.
10 Kit Home Companies to Watch
1. Method Homes
Method Homes is a custom manufacturer of precision–engineered, prefabricated, modern structures. Master craftsmen create their modular homes, commercial structures, accessory dwelling units, and garages. This 4,672-square-foot “Sage Modern” model in Truckee, California features rift-sawn white oak cabinets and doors, extensive built-ins, and hydronic radiant heat.
2. Zip Kit Homes
Zip Kit Homes spent over a decade building many different residences—over 500 homes and multi-family projects. After experimenting with all different types of building construction—standard site-built homes, panelized homes, and modular homes—they recently launched kit homes to offer precision-built, sustainable, small homes that can be shipped anywhere in North America. They also offer many site-built floor plans that are both energy-efficient and simple to build.
3. ideabox
The ideabox construction process goes easy on everything except quality, beauty, and fun, using a highly efficient, indoor, quality-controlled construction process to build beautiful, comfortable boxes that fit your modern lifestyle.
4. California Pre-Cut Homes
California Pre-Cut Homes provides a panelized wall building system that allows you to construct your own project—”sweat equity”—or to manage construction via sub-contractors.
5. Small House Kits
Small House Kits are designed so that every bit of space is used to the best advantage. Although some are for homes as large as 875 square feet, others are well under 300 square feet. Those designed to be on wheels may be less than 100 square feet. These houses are more energy efficient than a small old house, thanks to superior materials and increased insulation.
6. KitHAUS
This Beverly Hills kitHAUS delivers modernist prefab modules that transform open spaces into anything-you-want hubs—yoga studios, home offices, weekend retreats, pop-up kiosks, guest rooms, or “reality-escape pods.” The custom-configured homes can be completed on-site in days, tie-grid or off-grid.
7. Prebuilt
Australian-originated Prebuilt integrates efficient, economical, design-led architecture with modular prefab construction. Whether creating a modest country weekender or a landmark home in an expensive street, each of their prefab homes is architect-designed, built undercover, and transported in modules across Australia.
8. Hanse Haus
Together with a personal Hanse Haus specialist, pre-configured house designs can be adapted simply and easily in order to suit all tastes and specifications.
9. GreenTerra Homes
Canadian-based GreenTerra Homes manufactures steel frame homes for assembly on-site, as well as steel frame factory-built modular homes and structures. They’re Canada’s first and only CWB CSA QAI-certified steel frame modular home factory, with a mission to make it easier for families to build the home of their dreams—from how GTH homes are built, to the materials used in construction, to the support team at your side.
10. Scandinavian Homes
The “Marie” model by Scandinavian Homes brings modern with shades of Art Deco in two-story, 3/4-bedroom, timber-framed, self-build homes. At the front of the house is a well-lit breakfast kitchen, with a separate dining area. To the left of the front door is a pair of porthole windows that provide natural light to a cloakroom and shower room. At the rear of the house is a living room with several large windows and a door to the garden—and a study off to one side. The integral garage has a door to a workshop/store at the rear, and a side door into the utility room.
