The MHE Experience: Great Beginnings to Successful Projects

At MHE Homes, we understand the challenges of purchasing a new home. That’s why we are committed to providing effective offsite construction solutions. We work closely with you and our trade contractors to ensure the final product is a home that will serve you and your family well for years to come.

Our Process

Step 1:

Define Project and Scope

During this step, we work closely with you to understand your project needs, determine styles, define a timeline, and assign your project manager. Success begins with close collaboration, and our collaboration begins here.

Step 2:

Financing and Pre-approval

Once approval is established, we move into the contract phase. Think of a contract as a box: we list what is included, and that is what is in the box. We document all agreements in writing, avoiding verbal commitments. Any modifications to the contract will be made through a signed change order between the buyer and the responsible MHE party.

Step 3:

Customer Engagement

At this stage, you will work with our customer representative and project manager. They will assist with floor plan selection, help establish décor and finishes, review costs, and arrange for production timeline scheduling.

Step 4:

Site Preparation

This step includes preparations for your home’s delivery, such as:

Conducting a site visit to determine costs and scope of work
Grading the land
Ensuring site access
Making utility preparations
Prepping the foundation
Coordinating arrival and unit placement details with your designated project manager

Step 5:

Delivery

Our construction timeline runs concurrently with your site preparation efforts. This means delivery and installation of the home follows once your site is ready.

Step 6:

Close-Up

At this point, we bring the home together and complete interior and exterior detailing in a functional and efficient manner.

Step 7:

Keeping The Process Safe & Efficient

Moving a mobile home can be a complex and daunting task, but it is possible to do it safely and efficiently with the right planning and preparation. Here is a step-by-step guide to moving a mobile home:

Choose a reputable moving company. Not all moving companies are experienced in moving mobile homes, so it is important to choose one that has a good track record and specializes in this type of move. Get quotes from multiple companies and compare their services and prices before making a decision.
Obtain the necessary permits. In most cases, you will need to obtain a permit from your local government before moving a mobile home. The permit process can vary depending on where you live, so it is important to contact your local government office to find out what is required.
Prepare your mobile home for transport. This includes disconnecting all utilities, securing all loose items inside and outside the home, and removing any awnings or other structures that could be damaged during the move. You may also need to remove the wheels from your mobile home if it is being transported over a long distance.
Transport your mobile home to its new location. This is the most difficult and dangerous part of the move, so it is important to leave it to the professionals. The moving company will use a special truck and trailer to transport your mobile home to its new location.
Set up your mobile home at its new location. Once your mobile home has arrived at its new location, the moving company will set it up on the foundation. This includes connecting all utilities, leveling the home, and making sure that it is properly secured.
