RTM House Delivery

[@stedmans4christ]

I've never seen a mobile home with decent architecture like this one. They did a great job

[@aaronsuek]

They're actually classified quite differently from your standard mobile home. They're the equivalent to a normal home, but built with a more robust base to allow for transportation. This one, excluding the verandas, is 1700 square feet, and has vaulted ceilings throughout. You'd never know from the inside that it was on the back of a truck at one point. It's pretty impressive what they can do.

[@jaalawhyte511]

[@aaronsuek]

@@jaalawhyte511 The builder has photo examples on their website that you could take a look at for now: jhhomes.com/floor-plans/the-rockglen/

[@johnatyoutube]

Isn't this a modular, not a manufactured home? They're set on a permanent foundation, not a mobile frame. Sure looks like a mobile installation though. It's what code it was built to in the end that determines its type, not its movement. Modular qualifies as conventional real estate, manufactured does not. This is set on a foundation so most likely modular. Indistinguishable from stick built once installed.

[@johnatyoutube]

Beautiful home!!! Amazing installation in one piece! How was it transported like that? I thought there was an 18 foot wide max on roads, at least in the US.

That Rockglen house is a beautiful house.Our Daughter had one delivered to Southey. We just had a Spiritwood delivered to our farm and are almost ready to move in. J&H seem to build solid good quality houses. You're lucky it was dry then. We had so much rain this fall that they got stuck and had to leave it in the middle of the driveway for a week. Enjoy your new home

[@tomdeininger7379]

beautiful home. I liked seeing this. Fascinating how they put something that size in place.

[@EyesWideOpen77]

It's not a motor home, it's not a mobile home...it's a manufactured home. It's an important distinction and if everyone would stop using the terms interchangeably, maybe more people would be able to get financing and homeowner's insurance for what is a really much more like a stick-built home (a permanent home on a set perimeter foundation) and not something that you can climb into and drive away.

[@anniewright6358]

I’ve had three separate houses moved onto site, but this is far bigger, far better than any of them. I was amazed how they moved it, and as someone else asked, how in hell did they get that through the streets

[@thewhiteknight02]

Wow. That’s huge. They usually bring in sections. But wow.

[@matthewrousseaux1022]

I so appreciate you posting this. We are looking at J&H homes too. How was your experience? How has the house held up since 2015? I know they have a 5 year warranty so now that it has expired does it feel like it's starting to fall apart? How willing were they to work with you on colors and flooring etc?

[@aaronsuek]

The build process was great, including all of the selections. After sale service left a fair bit to be desired. I believe we only had a 1 year warranty, though, and their scheduling and planning for the warranty repairs was quite terrible. We gave them a week while we were on vacation, but they delayed the work until we were back (which was a huge pain). Things have held up fairly well, although some of the siding was poorly done and we've found numerous gaps in the sections. It doesn't feel like it's falling apart in general, though.

[@edwinleach7401]

I've never seen such a huge house be delivered on a trailer like that

[@Losttoanyreason]

No way would that "trailer" be allowed on our roads. It would have to be chainsawed in half to fit, LOL. Looks to be a nice modular home. I always wondered how they placed one of these on a permanent foundation. Would have loved to have seen how the steel was removed. Cool to see them still using rollers to move heavy loads 5000 years later, LOL.

[@jjoannejj]

Hi, what was the price of this? I'm from Colorado and we are in the "looking" stage at the moment. Any video coverage of the inside? Does the builder J&H deliver to Colorado?

[@aaronsuek]

The builder is Canadian based. They do transport to adjacent provinces, but I don't believe they would be able to transport across the national border.

[@cbro777]

Very cool. Patience was the key here.

[@quitepossiblylucky]

Cool! What I wouldn't do to live away from the city at a place like this!

[@Sazzy_Country_Cutie]

So how much was the home and the moving combined? I am guessing as much or than building a stick frame home?

[@aaronsuek]

We estimated that it was 10 to 15% less than building on site, mostly due to it being in a rural location. I believe the house portion that was moved on the truck and the moving costs were around $240k CAD five years ago, but there were many other additions (garage built on site, foundation, power and natural gas connections, water well/treatment, basement mechanical, etc.) that added to the cost and would have needed to be captured regardless of the construction method.

[@gloriasalsman1017]

Can you get regular home owner insurances? A double widetralior is higher price for insurance. Plus you have to look at the siding?

[@aaronsuek]

Gloria Salsman Yes, regular home insurance. The only difference from a regular build is that the house is built remotely and moved onto the basement. Looking inside it, you'd never know that it was on the back of a truck at one point as it is nothing like a double wide trailer. This one was the "Rockglen" design by J&H homes with huge vaulted ceilings, and we chose every fixture, color, siding type, etc., and made some design modifications for an additional veranda off the master bedroom. A 1000 square foot garage was tied in on the one side with the roofline continuing along it.

[@rayfair9279]

where did you get thw waaaaay oversized load permit? would it be cheaper to onsite build this?

[@aaronsuek]

Permits are cheap through the ministry of transportation here. Overall, it was a fair bit cheaper to build offsite, but we did add a 1000 sq.ft. garage on the side after the house was in place.

[@sissymurphy9620]

they used 2 cranes to put my house on the basement and I am up on a hill .2440 square foot house up about 20 feet in the air is scary .2 section house over 96 feet long and it took 12 hours to set and level and bolt together .Then came another 6 hours to raise the roof and dry the sides in

[@DBRinDallas]

Beautiful home.

[@dander1964]

Not a mobile home, not a sectional home, but maybe modular? But it’s one piece. Very interesting better then site built home, it was built strong enough to roll down the road!

[@aaronsuek]

Yes, I believe they're technically classed as modular type, and they definitely have a strong main floor system to support transport.

[@nickmisner1846]

how has the house held up over the years? what make and model ?floor plan is it? its a very nice looking home

[@aaronsuek]

It's held up just fine, about the same as any standard construction home. It's a modified Rockglen floor plan by J&H Homes in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada.

[@Reggie47581]

I agree with xadam2dudex just when you were going to get the house off the red beams you cut to something else and we didn't get see how they did it. But it is a beautiful house I would take it in a heart beat. I only have 1 question.If your going to have a basement under it (a foundation) why have it so high in the air? window wells would be good. Believe me as a mobile home owner your going to get tired of all the stairs. I would have the house at ground level. Nice house!

[@aaronsuek]

Starting at around 11 minutes, you can see the hydraulic jacks that they used to lift the house up by the joists. They did that in multiple positions to allow them to strategically tip the house and slide the rails out. As for the foundation, we've been in the house for over four years now, and the few steps haven't been an issue whatsoever. We wanted it at that height to improve the natural light transfer into the basement, especially in the front where there's an overhanging veranda. We had window wells in a previous home, and we regularly had debris collecting in them and were concerned about emergency egress. We also couldn't go deeper into the ground here due to restrictions on our development permit, so it was somewhat necessity unless we wanted to further slope the grading beyond what it already is. To each their own in the end I suppose :-)

[@xadam2dudex]

Well crap just when they got close to showing how they were going to remove those big steel rails under the house the video cuts to them being gone ...you cut out all the best parts

[@aaronsuek]

I honestly don't remember why I didn't record that part, I wish I had. I have a few photos showing that they used the hydraulic jacks in the basement to lift the house up by the joists at different points to allow them to slide the rails out the back.

[@Vipateta]

Yeah it's pretty hard to fathom why you would overlook something like that.

[@shirleyvinson3894]

Yep, I needed to see that. I think this is the solution to what type of home I need. Using a basement structure solves another problem for me. I will have to look into this.

You mean how it was lowered down after being positioned on the foundation? Those hydraulic jacks in the basement lifted it off the beams and lowered it back down. Is that what you're referring to?

[@paulonorato7501]

Why not just Have a site built home ? You can't tell me it's the price. How cheap can you be ?

[@aaronsuek]

It absolutely was the price. The cost for labor when including mileage costs when outside of a major center is a huge factor. In our case, it was much more cost effective to have it built off-site and moved.

[@catherineprayer8258]

Does Michigan accept this type of building?.

[@wilettamiller9387]

surprised the front of home wasn't facing the beautiful water

[@tomdeininger7379]

One thing though. I wanted to see how they get those beams out.

[@aaronsuek]

I'm not sure why I missed taking video of it (I'm still kicking myself for it), and I'll be eventually making a follow-up video with some photos of that part of the process. Essentially, they used a system of large hydraulic jacks lifting up from the basement to tip and lift the house and pull out the beams.

[@alm7707]

they line the house up with the basement and push on the end and roll the house on with short pipe rollers on the basement walls. Neufeld movers just put our new J&H home on its basement. The same day they had another crew moving a 2 story house and its concrete basement.

[@eddie8166]

the one thing I wanted to see was the removal of the red beams

The options for builders will depend on your location. This home in particular was built by a company in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada, and they serve this province and Alberta if memory serves. You can likely search online for RTM builders in your area, and they can explain the details of what's required. Since you already have a foundation, it would probably have to be a custom build to fit the foundation dimensions.
