How to start
Who we recommend
Building a home takes more than a frame kit. We work with lenders, builders, and local subs to help make your project possible.
Construction lenders
Building a home is expensive. We want to make that part easier — and the right lender makes a real difference. We recommend Tori Doucette at Revolution Mortgage. She knows our kits and can help you get the financing you need to turn one of our kits into your dream home.

Builders & raising crews
We add builders and raising crews here as partners come on board. Need someone now? Contact us — we often know a crew in your area and want to help you get to raise day.
Land
Most kit buyers already have a lot. If you are still looking, reach out — we know a few brokers and can point you when timing fits.
Site work
We do not do septic, well, or excavation — that is all site-specific. When we know a local sub who fits your town, we will make an intro. Contact us with your location and timeline.
Partners, not employees. These are professionals we introduce you to — we do not employ them and do not guarantee their work or your loan approval. Verify licensing and insurance and get your own quotes.
