| Unity, a brand of custom home company Bensonwood, is one of several companies in New England building homes in a factory. It’s a modern spin on the 1900s Sears Roebuck catalogue of mail-order houses, now with energy efficiency front of mind.
òðèï ñêàí
Companies like Unity and Maine-based BrightBuilt Home offer several basic designs that owners can customize. At Unity, much of the design is done ahead of time, before the house’s walls, windows and doors are assembled inside the company’s Keene, New Hampshire, factory, then wrapped tightly in reusable plastic and put on a truck bed. Once it’s on site, a panelized house can be built in a matter of days.
It is a very different model from traditional “stick-built” home construction, where the structure is built “stick by stick” on site and can take months to finish, all the while leaving wood and materials exposed to rain, snow and wind.

“There’s a logic to building a structure in a climate-controlled environment. That really resonates with a lot of folks,” said Parlin Meyer, managing principal for BrightBuilt Home.

“We put in offers on probably half a dozen houses well over asking and were perpetually beat out by people who were paying cash, coming up from Boston or New York,” Goodson said. “The housing stock was nonexistent, to say the least.”

House-hunting in cities comes with the same problem. When Tim Buntel and Cynthia Graber started looking for homes in Somerville, Massachusetts, they kept finding condos listed for far more than they were worth.
“They were often very expensive, and they were flips,” Graber said. “Developers come in, they take old properties and do a lot of things that are pretty in their eyes. And it’s really crappy quality.”
Massachusetts is one of the costliest states in which to buy a house. The greater Boston market has remained stubbornly expensive, with low inventory clashing with high demand.
Graber and Buntel eventually found a property with an old cottage they considered renovating. But after several sky-high quotes from architects, they decided to demolish it and build a new home with Unity.
“It was more flexible for our (urban) setting,” Buntel said. “Bringing the panels in on a flat pack and |
