The B2B Buyer's Guide to Prefab Homes
Sourcing prefab tiny homes for commercial use is different from buying a single dwelling for personal use. This guide covers what B2B buyers need to know.
1. Understand Your Use Case
Different applications have different requirements:
- Resale/Distribution: Focus on broad appeal and easy customization
- Glamping/Resorts: Prioritize durability and rapid housekeeping
- ADU/Residential: Emphasize comfort and residential-grade features
- Workforce Housing: Consider durability and efficient space utilization
2. Verify Manufacturing Standards
Not all manufacturers are equal. Look for:
- ISO 9001 certification or equivalent
- Experience with export markets
- Client references in your region
- Clear warranty and support terms
3. Understand Shipping Logistics
International delivery involves:
- Manufacturing lead time (typically 8-12 weeks)
- Transport to port
- Ocean freight (3-6 weeks depending on destination)
- Customs clearance
- Last-mile delivery to site
4. Plan for Site Preparation
While your units are in transit, you'll need to:
- Prepare foundations or pads
- Run utilities to each site
- Plan crane access for placement
- Arrange assembly crew (though Renox units require minimal assembly)
5. Start with a Pilot Order
New buyers should consider starting with 3-5 units to:
- Verify quality meets expectations
- Test logistics in your market
- Gather customer feedback
- Build supplier relationship
