Irontown Service Information

Our new factory is approximately 30 miles south of Salt Lake City in Central Utah. We build custom homes for clients in Arizona, California, Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, Oregon, Utah, and Wyoming.

It started more than 25 years ago, and over the years we have built over 10,000 modular homes. We have delivered homes over great distances, including one with a site that was 1,300 miles from the factory, and our homes have been built in nine states. Recently we opened our fourth and current production factory. The company is full service with a trucking company, an on-site stitch crew, and a set crew. We believe our experience in the industry is the key to making beautiful custom homes.

There are financing companies we work with that help coordinate the building process. We offer help with creating a financing package that works with our construction draw schedule. You can also meet with your local bank to look at construction loans. If you have any more questions about financing, our project coordinator can answer them. For more information see our financing page.

Factory built, pre-fab, manufactured, and modular have been put into a general category what describes a home that is built offsite. Originally, homes built offsite were called mobile homes, but it was changed to “manufactured” when a negative connotation was attached to the original term. Today offsite homes are generally called pre-fab or modular. But what is the difference? The main difference is the specific code a home is built to. The federally regulated code for manufactured or mobile homes is the Housing and Urban Development (HUD) code. These homes use a metal frame, are considered personal property, and often need a VIN number. Due to these requirements it can be difficult to find financing. An appraisal of a manufactured home needs to be compared with a “like kind property” that is built to the same code. These homes often depreciate and have problems with financing and reselling.

Factory built homes are built under the International Building Code, which is the code site homes are built under. All states have divisions to regulate home construction. Each division sets up construction guidelines that fit with the local building department. Under the code, factory built homes are considered real property, like onsite construction homes. It is just like an onsite built home in that it appreciates and appraises the same way, and it will not have mortgage problems.

To build a panelized home you can purchase walls that come in pre-assembled pieces. This is often only used for the exterior walls while the remainder of the home is built with on site construction. Irontown does not build entire homes that are panelized, but we do use panelized systems for garages, etc.
