Addendum Dwelling Units (ADUs) are another tiny house option. Perfect for someone who owns a regular house with a large yard and would like to share it with a family member or as a rental. ADUs, often called granny units are legal in many places where a tiny house on wheels might not be allowed. More and more prefab ADUs are being developed these days and Boxable out of Las Vegas, Nevada recently introduced their concept which will be put into full production later this year. Boxable is introducing the Casita as its first model. At 375 square feet, it is similar in size to a converted double car garage. Designed as a studio apartment with a full-size bathroom and kitchen appliances. At $49,500 loaded all is needed is a foundation to park and unfold it and connect it to local utilities. In the near future, more modules will be added to production. The boxable is stackable and connectable so can be configured in many different ways. If you are interested in one of these and want to be one of the first to have one you can reserve one. Boxable has given the Tiny House Blog a coupon code to save you $100.

When shopping for a factory-built home, you’ll often coordinate your home purchase through a licensed retailer in conjunction with a builder, so choosing the right manufacturer is one of the most important steps in the process. Keep in mind that the majority of the home’s construction will be completed inside the manufacturer’s facility—typically 80 to 90 percent of construction is complete by the time the home shows up at your building site. Modular home manufacturers produce houses in accordance with state and local building codes. Thus, not all manufacturers build homes for all 50 states. Typically, a manufacturer will build homes within a range of states, though there are national modular home manufacturers to partner with. The top modular home builders offer a variety of plans to choose from, with the ability to customize options to suit your situation. Quality building materials and attention to detail in workmanship are important factors, as is the ability to find a retailer or builder that will be your guide in the new home buying process. Whether you’re looking for a home with plenty of square footage for a growing family or a smaller pad for a getaway or the golden years of retirement, there is an abundance of modular home plans to choose from. Some custom modular home manufacturers will also bring your unique floor plan to life or modify existing plans to fit your vision. Get your search started with our list of the best modular home manufacturers.
