One of the first things that sorts the lineup is how many sections a home is built in. It's not just a size label — it affects layout, delivery, and price.
Single-section homes
A single-section home is up to about 16 feet wide and travels to your site as one complete unit. These are the most affordable and the quickest to set, and they're ideal for smaller lots, individual buyers, downsizers, or anyone prioritizing value. Don't mistake "single-section" for "small inside" — thoughtful layouts make these homes live larger than their footprint suggests.
Multi-section homes
A multi-section home is wider — built in two or more units that are transported separately and joined together on site along what's called the marriage line. This opens up wider rooms, more bedrooms, and layouts that feel like a conventional house: 3, 4, even 5 bedrooms, larger kitchens, and open living areas. Most of our larger family floor plans are multi-section.
Which is right for you?
It usually comes down to three things: how much space you need, what your lot can accommodate, and your budget. If you're buying for a family and have the land, multi-section gives you room to grow. If you're optimizing for cost or working with a tighter space, single-section delivers a brand-new home for less.
