Our units are built on site using traditional construction methods. Although we can appreciate a cool container or efficient modular, we believe in using optimized, traditional construction methods. Traditional construction methods are accepted and easily permitted in every city, neighborhood, and municipality within the Valley. The same cannot be said for alternative building methods. Additionally, banks will not finance many modular, container, or prefabricated homes because they are movable in nature. Traditional construction adds greater value to your existing property and more financing opportunities for our customers. It is our opinion, that on-site construction delivers the highest quality product for the best possible value.
