Company spotlight: Biltwise and its innovative approach to prefab homes for the modern market

Biltwise Structures specializes in off-site modular home construction, delivering private-label housing solutions tailored for builders and developers across the U.S. By streamlining the building process in a controlled factory environment, Biltwise ensures that homes are built faster, stronger, and with greater precision than traditional methods.

What Biltwise offers

Biltwise Structures provides a range of pre-designed modular homes optimized for both single-family and multi-family developments. Their catalog includes versatile models that can be adapted to different lot sizes and client needs, including:

  • The Austin: A 2-module design, perfect for front-facing lots, featuring an efficient floor plan with classic elevation.
  • The Mountainbrook: A 1-module unit ideal for accessory dwelling units (ADUs), cabins, or retreats. Its compact size makes it suitable for backyards or small plots.
  • The Stockbridge: A 3-module home that mimics the classic 1950s shotgun style, offering a square footprint under 50×50 feet.

These models are built to high standards of energy efficiency and durability and are designed to withstand harsh weather conditions, including hurricanes and earthquakes.​

How the process works

Biltwise’s modular homes are constructed in a factory using an assembly-line method. This means that the home can be built while the foundation is being prepared on-site, cutting down the total project timeline. The factory-controlled environment ensures each home meets stringent quality checks at every stage of production.

From the first station to completion, homes are built in less than 10 days, providing a significant time advantage compared to traditional construction. Each unit is approximately 90% complete upon leaving the factory, with only minor finishing touches required after installation​.

Costs and customization options

While specific pricing depends on the size, design, and materials chosen, modular construction typically costs less than traditional site-built homes due to reduced labor costs and minimized material waste. Biltwise works on a cost-plus model with its clients, ensuring transparent pricing with no hidden fees.

In addition, they also offer customization options, allowing developers to tweak rooflines, orientations, and additional features such as garages. For larger projects, Biltwise provides design consulting services, enabling builders to create private-label homes that suit their specific needs and branding​.

A solution for the housing crisis

Modular construction is increasingly viewed as a solution to the housing crisis, providing affordable, high-quality homes at a fraction of the time and cost of traditional builds. Biltwise’s commitment to innovation and expanding U.S. facilities make it well-positioned to support the growing demand for sustainable housing.​
