When it comes to modular home building, Genesis is the expert. Included here are questions and answers on our company and what you can expect when you work with us.  Who is Genesis? Genesis is part of the Champion Family of Homebuilders and is the first nationwide supplier of factory-built homes made to meet traditional site building codes and standards. How is a Genesis home different? Genesis homes are built in a more timely and cost-efficient manner than a traditional site-built home. Our homes are built in optimal factory conditions and then transported to your site for installation. By building in a controlled environment we can protect materials from weather damage while keeping to aggressive building schedules. Our homes are built by a highly skilled and committed work force with years of homebuilding experience. How would working with Genesis increase my profit margin? The off-site construction process reduces many direct and indirect costs -- construction loan finance charges are fewer because homes are built faster; there are fewer costs associated with employing, training and supervising labor; Genesis Homes – as part of the world’s largest home-builder purchasing materials in bulk - passes the cost saving on to our partners and the benefits go on. Although no guarantee, you can generally expect typical cost savings of approximately 10 to 15% with Genesis Homes versus building the same site-built home. The time and cost savings of off-site construction is the real benefit, giving builders an opportunity to build and sell more homes and drive profits significantly. What building codes apply to Genesis off-site constructed homes? Most off-site construction homes are built to the same state and local building codes as site-built homes. Genesis Homes will build to most codes -- if it will meet the needs of its builder and developer partners. Is the quality of a Genesis home consistent with a traditional site-built home? Genesis offers the same or even better construction than a site-built home. Genesis homes are actually built with more raw materials than traditional site-built homes in order to withstand transporting. Materials are protected and stored in a climate-controlled environment, and there are tighter quality controls, more frequent and more disciplined inspections by third-party engineer and State building inspectors. Numerous inspections and tests and quality materials throughout ensure all Genesis Homes meet or surpass the quality you would find in a traditional site-built home. Who sets these homes up on-site? Genesis Homes manages many of its own experienced setting crews to handle the final on-site construction process at your lot. For times when Genesis contracts with a crew from outside the company, Genesis Homes has put training systems in place to ensure the quality of work they do on site. Genesis Homes' builder and developer partners are also invited to use the training systems to train their own crews, should they choose to set the homes themselves. Who are your primary suppliers? We work with only the best name brands in the building industry. Our suppliers include: Moen®, GE®, Johns Manville and Merillat to name a few. How long would it take to get a new Genesis home? Typically, Genesis Homes are built within 90 days, from their start to finish inside off-site construction facilities, through their rough set and final finish on site. Genesis Homes are built faster because they are constructed indoors by a dedicated workforce and are not subject to the usual weather delays or material shortages. What type of design flexibility does Genesis offer? With styling in mind, Genesis offers several models to select from, with virtually limitless design opportunities. Whether you are a designer or an engineer, we will work with you from the beginning of any project to provide you with a unique housing solution, one that will undoubtedly meet all of your building requirements. How are off-site constructed homes appraised? There should be no difference in the appraisal value of a modular home as compared to a site built home. The home is built to the same code and could have the same design features. In fact, Marshall & Swifts "Residential Cost Handbook," the "bible" for appraisers nationwide, clearly states that modular homes should be appraised according to the same costs as site-built residences. How are off-site constructed homes financed? Off-site constructed homes are financed the same way site-built homes are financed: first with a construction loan to the builder who ultimately sells the home to the buyer, then with a mortgage from a financing company or bank. What can I expect from a working relationship with Genesis? We pride ourselves on superior customer service by providing you with one point of contact throughout the entire process. Not only can we eliminate labor and material headaches; we can lower your costs and shorten your cycle time to deliver beautiful quality homes. What kind of marketing support does Genesis Homes offer its builder and developer partners? Genesis provides marketing support even before you build. It begins with research on your housing market, specifically what style of homes are selling with what features. Then after the build, Genesis can provide its partners with sales materials and marketing support when needed. Does Genesis Homes handle callbacks? Genesis Homes has a system in place to handle callbacks for its builder and developer partners. All new Genesis homeowners receive a toll free number to call should they need to voice a problem or complaint. The call connects them to a quick-response team of skilled tradesmen capable of handling any complaint. It saves the homeowner from any hassles and saves the builder money. How can I learn more?
