Wolf Industries has relocated to their new modular home building factory to address increased demand for affordable housing in the Pacific Northwest.
The modular home manufacturer, Wolf Industries, based in Battle Ground, Washington announced last week that construction of their new facilities has been completed and has resumed production. At over twice the size of their last factory, the new location is nearly 2,000sq m and will accommodate double the production capacity – as many as 2 homes per week.
Derek Huegel, owner and president of modular home builder Wolf Industries, says the change couldn’t have come at a better time. “With about a 300% increase in demand, the new shop is everything we need to help meet a massively growing need for affordable housing.” Much of the company’s success, Derek says, is attributed to offering a ‘turn-key’ product. “We not only construct the home, we handle the site work, permitting, set up and delivery as well.”
Through the factory-assembled structures program in Washington state, Wolf Industries is able to produce modular homes built to IRC (International Residential Code) standards – the same specifications and requirements found in much larger and more expensive homes built on-site.
Last year Wolf Industries announced they had finalised an agreement with the Vancouver Housing Authority to produce modular homes for transitional housing as part of a larger ‘tiny home village’ project by non-profit Community Roots. The project – which aims to place a total of 19 homes – was awarded an additional $2,552,488 grant through the State of Washington’s Housing Trust Fund program.
Though they’ve seen major growth in demand for multi-unit projects, Wolf Industries states that they continue to remain attentive to individuals that still need lesser services such as guest modular homes, accessory dwelling units and even hardships – commonly used for bringing ageing parents onto a shared property.
“I really enjoy being able to hear about the ideas that people have for what they want to do with our tiny homes,” says Sophia Stewart, the Sales and Marketing Coordinator. “I would love to show people around and get them excited about any projects they have in mind, or even if they’re just curious what our houses look like.”
