Kit Manufacturing was founded in 1945 and has built thousands of HUD-code manufactured homes over the years. Like many companies, they were hit by the manufactured home slump that occurred in the late 90’s, as they were primarily selling in this market. They were then bought out by Miles Standish and Michael Wolf, both well reputed in the industry, and re-launched as Kit Homebuilders West LLC. Now they focus strictly on the HUD-code market specializing in homes for the entry-level and mid-range buyer. From their website: “Kit Homebuilders West, LLC continues a tradition that was started by its predecessors in 1945. Having housed thousands of families over the past number of years, we are excited about providing housing opportunities for the families of today and tomorrow”.

Modular Home Construction The factory built housing idea is not new. Sears Roebuck offered a prefabricated modern home in their spring 1908 general catalog, which was shipped by train. Sears sold around 100000 of these homes from 1908 to 1939. The use of production line techniques really kicked into high gear after World War II and made a sizable contribution to reducing the housing shortage at that time.
Modular Housing Facts Sheetrock is often glued and screwed to wall studs and triple headers are used over window openings and around stairwells to withstand the stress of transportation and being picked up by a crane.
California Modular Homes Most factory built homes are constructed entirely within a controlled climate. Construction continues year round and assembly line workers don’t need to be skilled carpenters and are paid about half of what on site contractors are normally paid. Many of the laborers working in the manufactured housing industry have steady jobs with benefits and can afford to buy the products they make.
