Fremont Homes has guided West Michigan families through a proven modular home construction process since 1970. From the first conversation to move‑in, our team manages each step — design, permits, 8‑inch poured concrete foundations, utilities, garages, porches, decks, finishing work and final walkthroughs. This is just one component of our full turn‑key approach.

Helpful links:
Choose a starting plan, then personalize finishes and structural options to fit your life. Our design support helps you balance aesthetics, cost and timing.
We confirm specifications that align with your budget and the expected build sequence.
We coordinate with local officials on required approvals. Michigan requirements can vary by municipality; permit types and inspection sequences are determined by local authorities. If you have a specific jurisdiction in mind, we can review local requirements together on a planning call. For an overview, see Financing & Permits.
Strong homes start with strong foundations. We install 8‑inch poured concrete foundations — a cornerstone of Fremont Homes’ quality standard — and handle site work end‑to‑end.
While we prepare your site, your home’s modules are built in a controlled factory environment for consistency and efficiency. This parallel work stream is a key advantage of modular construction and helps keep the modular home timeline predictable.
The home modules arrive to your prepared foundation for setting and fastening.
We plan assemblies to minimize weather exposure and keep the schedule moving.
Our licensed trade partners complete the connections for plumbing, electrical and HVAC, then we perform system tests.

Local inspectors review work at defined milestones. Because inspection requirements vary by municipality, we coordinate directly with the authority having jurisdiction and schedule visits accordingly.
Exterior elements and finish details bring your design to life.
After final inspection and orientation, we hand you the keys. We’ll review maintenance basics and care for your new home. See similar projects in our Project Gallery and read real customer experiences in Reviews.
Every project is unique. The factory builds while we complete the foundation and site work, which compresses total duration. After an initial consultation and site review, we provide a tailored schedule and sequencing to fit your location and season.
Here are answers to some common questions we are asked about our services.
Timelines vary by municipality, site conditions, and selections. The advantage of modular is parallel work: factory building occurs while we complete site and foundation work. After an initial consultation and site review, we’ll give you a tailored schedule.
Inspection requirements are set by your local authority having jurisdiction and can vary across Michigan. We coordinate directly with local officials and will confirm the exact checklist once we know your project’s municipality. Please share your location during our first call for specifics.
We handle modular home site preparation as part of our turn‑key service, including excavation, wells and septic (when applicable), and utility trenching. If you already have a prepared site, we’ll verify it meets requirements during a site visit.
Fremont Homes coordinates trenching and tie‑ins for electrical, plumbing, and HVAC with licensed trade partners. See Utilities & Excavation for an overview.
On‑site work can be weather‑dependent. We build year‑round and plan sequencing to minimize exposure, including rapid weather‑tightening after modular home delivery and assembly. If extreme conditions arise, we communicate adjustments promptly.
