Factory-Built Homes
Cottage Glen expects to use the most advanced construction method available today by using factory-built components to more efficiently construct the homes. One such builder that is being considered is Details, a new builder of upscale off-site constructed homes located in a former aerospace plant in Sacramento. This firm has made arrangements to build several designs by Ross Chapin and other leading architects. Details specializes in homes noted for their architectural integrity, authentic detailing, craftsmanship, environmentally considerate materials, and energy efficiency.
Factory-built homes today that are built to International Building Code standards (the building code adopted by Calistoga in early 2007) are very different from the common image of modular housing, and are indistinguishable from site-built housing when completed. The designs by Ross Chapin will ensure that the homes in Cottage Glen are attractive and embody the qualities of our most traditional homes. Factory-built technology and construction in a controlled environment ensure a quality and consistency that is unachievable by the site-built industry.
