Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Manufactured Home?

A Manufactured home is a home constructed in a climate-controlled environment away from the harmful effects of Nature. Superior quality is achieved through state-of-the-art engineering, assembly line techniques, steady employment of skilled craftsmen, and independent inspections every step of the way.

What are some of the advantages of building a manufactured home?
There are so many! Here are just a few:

• They are built with more framing and fastening materials to withstand the stress of transportation, making them the strongest of all frame homes built.
• They have faster build times compared to homes built on site, while meeting or exceeding the same quality standards.
• There is no lost or down time due to bad weather.
• They use kiln-dried lumber, same code as site-built homes, virtually eliminating shrinkage.

Can I do some of the work myself?

Your home, your way! With Maisons Bellevue, you can be involved as much or as little as you like, from building the home yourself (kit house) to taking turnkey delivery and anywhere in between. It’s all up to you.

I want to build a manufactured home but I do not own land. Can you help?

Absolutely. We have many lots in and around the greater Montreal area or we can help you arrange one through our sister company, Plani-Choix.

Homes are built in a controlled environment, how do they get to the site?

To protect your home during delivery, we professionally shrink-wrap all cubes from top to bottom, before they leave the plant. Then, specialized trucks and a dedicated team of professionals use a crane to erect the home on its foundation. Generally, one day is all it takes to put it in place before finishing begins Factory Process

How do I finance a manufactured home?

Mortgage lenders treat manufactured homes the same as stick-built homes and offer the same mortgage options. Manufactured homes are also treated the same as site-built homes when it comes to appraisals and insurance. In addition, manufactured homes appreciate in value at the same rate as comparable site-built homes in your area.
