Delivery & Setup

From Order to Move-In

1. 1

   Order & Build (6–8 weeks)

   Once you choose your floor plan and options, your home is built at the Champion factory in Topeka, IN — about 20 miles from our showroom. Factory construction is fast and weather-protected, so timelines are far more predictable than site-built.

2. 2

   Site Preparation (in parallel)

   While your home is being built, your site is prepared: clearing and grading, the foundation or pad, and utility connections (water, sewer or septic, and electric). You hire your own licensed contractors for this work — most buyers save money that way, and we'll share a referral list of licensed and insured contractors past customers have used.

3. 3

   Permitting & Zoning

   You (or your contractor) verify local zoning and pull the permits required for your county and parcel. Rural counties like DeKalb, Noble, and Whitley are generally manufactured-home friendly, and we're happy to point you to the right county offices to ask.

4. 4

   Delivery Day

   We arrange transport of your home from the factory to your site. A single wide arrives in one piece; a double wide arrives in two sections. Your setup contractor positions the home on the foundation and, for multi-section homes, joins the sections.

5. 5

   Setup & Installation (1–3 days)

   Your setup crew levels and anchors the home, connects utilities, completes the marriage line and finish work on multi-section homes, and installs skirting and steps as ordered. Timing depends on the home size and site.

6. 6

   Final Walkthrough & Move-In

   You walk the finished home with your contractor to confirm everything is right, and we're always available to answer questions about your warranty and care. Then it's yours — typically 8–12 weeks from order to move-in.
