Manufactured Housing

Direct Equipment is the world's most affordable homebuilder.

Property developers who use our systems build homes for half the cost of stick-built houses, and do so much faster.

For most projects, steel-framed housing is most appropriate. Typically our homes are factory built for about $350 - $500 per square meter ($33 - $48 per square foot), plus shipping and tariffs.

A small local crew of five is sufficient to have our homes move-in ready in under 30 days, after the foundation is prepared. Final construction cost is determined by local crew time and wages.

Other developments utilize modular and container house designs. These require even less local crew time, and are ideal for low-income housing, dormitories, and worker quarters.

For Airbnb's, ADU's, and luxury projects, capsule housing is a great option.

For Property Developers

Construction companies and contractors across the world use our solutions to cut total construction costs by over two thirds.

Steel-framed housing can be customized to almost any design.

Modulars and container housing are also options, for faster builds and even lower overall costs.

For Governments and Nonprofits

Our factories are solving the global housing shortage, and work with local governments and charitable organizations worldwide.

The homes and buildings come ready-to-build at low cost, using your local crews with basic carpentry skills.

We can build to any local standards and codes, and have deep experience in even the most extreme climates.

For Families

Using your plans, or one of our available designs, we can build the perfect home for your and your family, delivered anywhere.

Property owners who already use a local crew can save over 50% of the costs, compared to a fully stick-built project.

Our shipping agents will ensure timely delivery directly to your property, and that all customs duties are paid.

Capsule Houses

Capsule Homes are a high-end solution for resorts, hotels, Airbnb's, and ADU's.

We can build to custom sizes and interior layouts. Full options for appliances, washer/dryer, fixtures, and entertainment packages.

Our homes are built to withstand extreme weather, including typhoons and hurricanes.
