Site Preparation

You've found the perfect home and the right property; now the exciting part starts - preparing the site, installation, and preparation for occupancy. HomeCo can be a great resource for this process and we're here to help at every step. we help you clearly understand who is performing what functions at every stage in this process.

Have property in mind that you think would be good for a new or pre-owned home? There are some things to check out first:

Placement of the home on your property - Will the site accommodate the home selected?

Access to the site - Homes are delivered on heavy, oversized trucks, so road access is important.

Zoning, permits, development fees - Are there any regulations that would keep you from installing your home?

Utility location - Is there access to gas, electricity, water, sewer or space for a septic system, and all other utilities you need?

Preparing the site - The land needs to be cleared, graded, and made ready to accommodate your new home.

We will send a crew to your site to do a "site check" and let you  know if there is anything you need to do to prepare the site or for them to get the trucks and home onto the property.

Installation: Key to a Long-Lasting Home

Once your home is delivered, licensed/bonded/insured professionally trained installation personnel will complete the set up of the home, you will then need to connect all utilities, and arrange for any required inspections. The correct installation of your home is critical. Here's where working with a reputable retailer and experienced contractors really pays off. The steps will vary by home model and the location where the home is installed. Unlike a site-built home, installation typically only takes a few weeks rather than months.
