About Factory-Built Housing Consultants

Independent advisors and advocates for factory-built housing — serving the industry since 1995.

Built on Experience

For more than three decades, Factory-Built Housing Consultants has worked within the factory-built housing industry, helping manufacturers, builders, developers, suppliers, and industry partners navigate the practical challenges of bringing factory-built housing and building products to market.

Our experience spans IRC modular construction, HUD manufactured housing, panelized building systems, domestic manufacturing, imported homes and building products, construction materials, regulatory pathways, and market development.

Whether a company is entering the U.S. market for the first time, expanding into new states or product categories, evaluating a factory-built housing opportunity, or working through regulatory and industry requirements, FBH provides independent guidance based on practical industry experience.

We help clients better understand the codes, approvals, processes, resources, organizations, and industry relationships that can affect a factory-built housing project from concept through delivery.

Independent Advice. Practical Industry Perspective.

Factory-Built Housing Consultants is positioned as an independent industry advisor.

We are not tied to a single manufacturer, construction system, product supplier, or housing technology. This allows us to evaluate opportunities from a broader industry perspective and help clients identify practical pathways appropriate to their projects, products, and markets.

Our goal is straightforward: provide useful information, experienced guidance, and industry connections that help move factory-built housing forward responsibly.

We promote better access to reliable information concerning building codes, IRC modular approvals, HUD manufactured housing requirements, permitting, accessory dwelling units, transportation, installation, inspections, construction products, and other issues affecting factory-built housing.

Industry Connections and Collaboration

We connect manufacturers, builders, developers, suppliers, service providers, government agencies, associations, consultants, and other stakeholders working to improve housing delivery and expand responsible factory-built construction.

Responsible Market Development

We support the responsible growth of IRC modular, HUD manufactured, panelized, domestic, and imported housing solutions throughout the United States and international markets.

We also work to help companies understand the opportunities and requirements involved in introducing new housing systems, building products, technologies, and construction methods into established markets.

Built for the Real World

Factory-built housing succeeds when good ideas are matched with practical experience, appropriate codes and approvals, capable industry partners, and a realistic understanding of how homes are manufactured, transported, installed, permitted, financed, and delivered.

That is where Factory-Built Housing Consultants can help.
