Dutch
Housing, the leader in quality and
innovation, was created in 1991
through the combined efforts of five
individuals with varying areas of
expertise in manufactured housing.
This collective effort set the
standard by which many consumers make
their housing choices today. Dutch
Housing is located in LaGrange,
Indiana, and became a part of the
Champion Enterprises family in 1994.
Dutch provides a full range of
HUD-approved homes ranging from 746 -
2,305 square feet. The vast selection
of sizes meets all of our customer's
needs. With the ability to produce 40
plus homes each day, our size
guarantees the best value and timely
delivery available in the market
today.
Our production team is made up of
highly skilled, long-term employees,
who boast the lowest turnover rate in
the industry. Their commitment enables
us to infuse high value and high
quality into every Dutch home.
Dutch Housing has established
long-term partnerships with many
nationally known suppliers, including
General Electric, Georgia Pacific,
Owens Corning and many others that
assure Dutch Housing consumers that
they are getting the best value and
quality that is available today.
Since its creation, Dutch has produced
more than 50,000 homes. This success
is due largely to the thousands of
satisfied homeowners and retailers
that realize our vision:

Over 20
Million people across the country
have decided to make a manufactured
home their way of life, and that's
because they have become informed
about the amazing quality and
construction of today's manufactured
home. Here's what happy manufactured
home owners have discovered:
Superior Insulation. The high
level of insulation in today's
manufactured home is equal or superior
to a site-built home. With R-values
exceeding R-30 in the roof and R-19 in
the sidewalls and R-11 in the floor, a
manufactured home stays comfortable
the whole year through. Engineered
Walls. Our manufactured homes have
interior walls three inches thick,
covered with 5/16-inch vinyl covered
sheeting or 1/2" gypsum (Drywall),
this is equal or superior to most
site-built homes. Exterior walls on
manufactured homes are often built
using 2x6" construction.

Putting Safety First.
Insurance company statistics have
found that manufactured/modular homes,
in many ways, are safer than the
conventional stick built homes. The
University of Michigan found that
manufactured homes in the Midwest have
a lower rate of catching fire than
site-built homes. Both types of homes
have the same copper wiring, but the
national electric codes are actually
tougher for manufactured homes than
they are for most stick built homes.
The Dutch Housing Warranty. All
Dutch Homes are covered by a standard
one year limited warranty. All Dutch
Homes warranties cover structural
workmanship, factory-installed
plumbing, heating and electrical
systems, which also may be covered by
separate appliance manufacturer
warranties. What other type of home
can offer you a commitment like that?

Quality Controlled Environment.
The high quality of manufactured
homes, unlike site-built homes, is
regulated by the U.S. government under
a national building and safety code
administered by the U.S. Department of
Housing and Urban Development. The
national code means design,
construction, durability, strength,
fire resistance, energy efficiency,
and more, are all federal matters. The
homes are built well-Uncle Sam makes
sure! Stringent Codes by Design.
Manufactured homes are built to a set
of standards as tough as those facing
the site-built home builder. They must
comply with The Federal Manufactured
Home Construction and Safety
Standards. The Department of Housing
and Urban Development enforces these
standards through the National
Conference of States on Building Codes
and Standards. The code covers design,
construction, durability, strength,
fire resistance, energy efficiency and
more.

Factory Inspections.
Uniformity and consistency of the
quality of manufactured homes are
often superior to site-built homes
because the government inspections
take place in the factory, during each
phase of construction, and follow
behind the manufacturer's own in-plant
inspection and quality assurance
teams. This allows for more
thoroughness since time is spent
inspecting homes rather than traveling
to inspection sites. Also, consistency
of high quality is maintained because
fewer people inspect more homes. The
enforcement procedure is much less
susceptible to individual
interpretations, as would be the case
with on-site inspections in every
jurisdiction across the country.
Our Promise to our Customers!
Before leaving our factory, each
manufactured home must have a numbered
certification label affixed to the
exterior of each section of the home.
This label certifies to the homebuyer
that the home has been inspected in
accordance with the federal government
enforcement procedures, and that it
complies with all stringent national
building and safety codes administered
by the Department of Housing and Urban
Development. Only when all inspection
parties are satisfied that the home
complies with the code, will the
certification label be affixed to the
home. A consumer seeing the home for
the first time will have the assurance
that the home has been thoroughly
tested and inspected from the design
stage through final construction, and
found to be built according to the
approved design.

elevation options for you to choose
