We’re proud to share that the work of our DBA BuiltADU in Manufactured Housing was recently featured in International Business Times. The article highlights how factory-built housing is emerging as a practical and scalable solution to California’s ongoing housing shortage — and how our team is helping lead that shift.

As the article explains, California cannot simply “build its way out” of the housing crisis using traditional site-built construction alone. Rising labor costs, material volatility, extended permitting timelines, and affordability challenges have made it increasingly difficult to deliver housing at the scale and speed required.
That’s where Manufactured Housing comes in.
Unlike conventional construction, manufactured homes are built in controlled factory environments, allowing for greater efficiency, consistent quality control, and faster delivery times. Once completed, the homes are transported to the property and installed on engineered foundations. This streamlined approach can significantly reduce project timelines and overall costs — without compromising structural integrity or design quality.
The IBTimes feature talks about our role in helping property owners, investors, and families leverage Manufactured Housing as a viable alternative to traditional builds. From backyard ADUs to primary residences, our projects demonstrate that factory-built homes can meet California code requirements while offering a more predictable and cost-efficient development path.
A major advantage of this approach is timeline certainty. While many traditional builds face lengthy construction schedules, Manufactured Housing allows much of the work to occur simultaneously — site preparation happens while the home is being built in the factory. This parallel process helps accelerate overall delivery and reduces exposure to on-site delays.
As adoption grows, inspection and compliance remain critical components of successful projects. Manufactured homes must meet federal HUD standards, local installation requirements, and jurisdictional approvals. Proper planning, permitting, and inspection ensure safety, durability, and long-term performance.
Being featured in International Business Times reflects the growing recognition that Manufactured Housing is not a fringe solution — it’s becoming a central part of California’s housing conversation.
We’re honored to be part of that movement and remain committed to delivering high-quality Manufactured Housing solutions that expand access to attainable homeownership across the state.
