Steamboat Springs, colorado
With over 20 years of real estate development and sales experience in Steamboat Springs, the SmartPads team has created a solution for building luxurious residential housing at an attainable price that is relevant across the state of Colorado. Historically, building quality homes in mountain communities has been exceedingly more expensive than building on the front range or somewhere down the valley. The higher prices are typically a result of longer construction periods, higher shipping costs for materials, and little-to-no availability when looking to hire a consistent crew of contractors and sub-contractors. And of course, then there’s also the mountain weather to factor into the process.
How has SmartPads overcome these challenges? SmartPads utilizes modular technology as a way to build upscale homes at a feasible price. Our homes are built with the same materials as a site-built home, however they are constructed at a higher level of strength because of the need to transport the home to the site.
This translates to a stronger, more efficient home that offers top-of-the-line finishes, materials, and designs. Because we build the homes at our facility, we can build at a significantly lower cost and deliver a completed home in as little as 3-4 months. The biggest savings that our clients experience are a result of our fixed price guarantee.
Once you select your plans and finishes, SmartPads never changes the price of the home. Taking away this cost variable results in less risk, resulting in comfort for our clients. Banks and lenders also love SmartPads homes, making a SmartPads home an ideal candidate for a construction loan.
Now, you might be wondering, what is the resale value for a SmartPads prefab home? The value of our homes has been proven in a variety of markets. We have seen our homes resold at record prices in communities throughout the state of Colorado, with benchmark sales in Steamboat Springs, Hayden, Leadville, and Winter Park. Want to learn more?
