The
manufactured housing industry has been a part of America's home ownership
dream since the early 1900's. Sears and Roebuck was one of the early
pioneers of the pre-cut idea. in America. Pacific Modern
Homes, Inc. (PMHI), was one of the first in California. The
concept of pre-cutting and pre-packaging building components and materials
has helped many contractors and owner-builders complete their projects
with cost savings and in much less time then with traditional "stick
building" procedures.
We at PMHI have
packaged over 16,000 homes worldwide. In addition, we have packaged
numerous apartments and light commercial buildings, from restrooms to fire
stations, to a court house annex. We have worked successfully with
contractors and developers throughout the world and would welcome the
opportunity to work with you. Our years of experience, quality products,
and the additional services we provide, assure you of a satisfied building
experience.

Our
most economical and practical standard plans for the true owner-builder
are called
Signature Series Plans.
If our standard plans do not meet your needs. Or, if time and cost are
not your prime consideration factor, our Drafting Service can modify any
Signature Series Plan
to meet your needs. If you prefer, we can work with you to develop a
truly "custom" home from your ideas, sketches, and dreams, such as the
home pictured above. All plans are available in either Metric or
Imperial dimensions.
Upon
completion of your plans, our Estimating Department will prepare a
computer-generated quotation for your specific PMHI
package.
Each PMHI
home, barn, or garage package begins with the exterior and
interior walls being designed by computer.
 Then,
the walls are pre-framed in sections or panels per the current
Uniform Building Code (UBC) in our factory.
Each
wall panel is numbered and identified by number on the panel plans
included with every package. This insures fast and efficient
erection of the package shell on you subfloor or slab foundation.

All roof trusses are
also computer designed and engineered for your specific plan and
roof load requirements. The truss webs and chords are then cut on
our new computer controlled Alpine Linear Saw. Not only are all cuts
precisely made, the computer optimizes the use of the materials for
minimum waste too!
Next, the trusses
are fabricated on new state-of-the-art layout tables. The Alpine
truss plates are pressed while the chords and webs are held in jigs
to assure proper alignment and the uniformity of adjacent trusses.
We also provide
rafter roof systems where trusses will not work or are not desired.
All
materials are neatly bundled and keyed to the shipping list for easy
identification.

All
of us at PMHI are proud of our heritage and our
reputation as a leader in the industrialized housing industry, both
domestically and internationally. We have established new traditions and
standards for packaged housing that following generations will strive to
achieve.
