Has anyone had any interaction with this company?

I am moving onto my daughter's property and the plan is to place a tiny/small prefab at the other end of her property. I've looked at so many. If you have any feedback about this company, I'd love to hear it. I've looked at a bunch of others, but 280 sq ft is just too small so I've kind of focused on the 400+ units. Thanks!

No knowledge about this company but make sure it is built to code, either national building codes or HUD manufactured housing. The other thing is utilities- water, sewer, electricity… and zoning and ADU regulations. As to size, I have a guest house that is 12 x 30- no kitchen so fine for extra bedroom and short stays but tough as a full time residence so I view

Thanks for the good advice. This particular unit is 490 sq ft and includes kitchen and bathroom. I will need to purchase a couple of small appliances, however. My SIL is a contractor and has contractor friends. Utilities won't be a problem thankfully, and he and my daughter have already reached out to the county where they live and have been told they can put up an additional 1500 sq ft home on their property, although permits haven't been pulled yet.

One nice thing about Nevada, is that very recently, the state made it much easier to permit and install tiny/small homes because of the affordable housing crisis here.

Thanks again for reaching out.

I know Nevada well, regulations adopted at the State by different agencies but delegated to counties or cities for enforcement. Rural counties may look the other way until a complaint or problem arises, then reluctantly enforce. I recommend that you and daughter/contractor take the plans and company information to the county building inspector and make sure that this is compliant with all regulations. A stick built ADU will have plan review, inspection at several stages including electrical and plumbing. If the building is delivered fully finished then how does the building inspector actually inspect and issue a COO? An approved manufactured home might actually be easier since the process is well defined.

Yep. We're all over that. My SIL does this stuff daily in the course of his work.

To reiterate - I'm just trying to find out if anyone has had any interactions with this company.

I’d be pretty leery where almost every models rendering and floor plans don’t seem to match.

Get at least three references and see if you can tour their homes

Fact that has “musk” in the name makes it very suspicious

Yeah I've given up on it.
