Most people hear "factory-built home" and picture a trailer park. Jeff Zimmerman walks through the Fort Homes production facility in Grand Junction, Colorado to show what it actually means to build this way.
In this episode:
— QC inspection sheets on every home, tracking every stage of production
— LVL floor systems engineered to shop drawings, with state inspection at every nail
— The Colorado Cottage — 2 bed 1 bath attainable home built from the inside out
— Backing pre-installed behind walls for every fixture location
— Elevated floor system for full MEP and insulation access
— Shop drawings vs. field blueprints — why the difference matters
— Labeled pre-built interior panels for precision installation
— LightRock sheetrock — walls fully finished before the home ships
— 12/12 pitch LVL roof framing that looks nothing like a mobile home
— The two-piece volumetric system: floor box + roof assembly, stitched on-site
— Pre-cut bulk materials and the waste reduction math
