Earlier this month I made my way over to Mesa, Arizona get a look at what I missed in my previous home tour video. After getting that footage I decided to head over to their factory to get a behind the scenes look at how they're building. In this video you'll see how they're building the Zennihome models and what changes they're making to increase production. Watch and get a behind the scenes look inside the Zennihome factory.

72 year old here, so bear with me when I say: Sweet man, you felt like you got your hand slapped, but you made a very informative video in response for the cost of travel. Thank you for that.

I found the production tour fascinating! It seems I come across the comments from many prefab companies saying that scaling up to meet demand (& profit goals) has been a significant hurdle, & often is the reason cited for abandoning prefab production. It seems like American Made is on the right course.

I would say if you look up the individuals who are running and started Zennihomes you will see the differences there, if nothing else. Quality is no comparison as well. Zennihome so superior with design and materials used. WIll be on a actual foundation base, no wheels! They also had their ducks in a row before they offered investing and purchasing.

Problem here is you can still build a home from the ground up for a lot cheaper. The small one is $280/sf and the large one is $195/sf, and that's before delivery and installation. Add that in, and it's $300-500/sf easy. Even being furnished, it's just not worth it.
