Factory-direct vs. dealer: how buying workforce housing actually works
2026-08-18 · buying guide
Most manufactured housing is sold through retailers. For a home buyer, that works. For a contractor ordering 40 crew units, each layer between you and the factory adds cost and time.
What factory-direct means here
We quote, order, and schedule factory-direct through our Texas factory partner, then coordinate delivery to your site. Ask us who sets the units and what the quote includes.
What to ask any supplier
- Who builds the unit, and where?
- What’s in stock today, and what’s the production slot for the rest?
- Who sets the units, and who connects utilities?
- What labels (HUD, TDLR) will the units carry?
- What happens if a unit arrives damaged?
