Frequently Asked Questions

What is a system-built home?
Choo-Choo Homes system-built houses use conventional stick-frame construction techniques. Our homes are virtually indistinguishable from site-built homes and built to the same state and local residential building codes that are required for site-built homes. However, our homes are engineered and constructed in a quality-controlled environment where our materials are not adversely affected by weather, pilferage, and costly over or under materials purchases.

What is the difference between a system-built home and a mobile home?
A system-built home and a mobile home are not comparable. Choo-Choo's system-built homes are constructed to the exact same strict state and local building codes as site-built homes, and they are subject to the same zoning regulations as site-built homes. The manufacturing and construction standards of mobile homes are governed by what is referred to as HUD Codes.

What makes a system-built home a good buy?
A system-built home is a good value for the money. Like most site-built homes, system-built homes are more likely to appreciate in value with time. In most cases, when comparing labor, material and time to traditional on-site construction, you will save by building a system-built home.
