Building in Sheridan, Wyoming
TROY, Michigan, Nov. 17, 2008 –
Genesis Homes, a member of the
Champion family of builders, the
largest modular homebuilder in the
nation, was chosen for a 7,648-square-
foot commercial office project in
Sheridan, Wyo.
The developer of the office building,
Lisa Rice, Esq., said she disregarded
site-built options “because there were
additional costs that would have made
the project not financially feasible.”
Using Genesis modular units also
“saved quite a bit of time,” she added.
“I was able to call upon the expertise
and assistance of the Genesis team to
complete the project from start-to-
finish in about nine months.”
Genesis was able to assist in the
design, saving money and
development time right from the start.
For the Sheridan project, the design
team at Genesis Homes of Colorado
supplied drawings and redesigned
plans for Rice’s office building to meet
her two tenants’ needs.
We worked together with Lisa to meet
her site needs in a way that fit within
Genesis Homes of Colorado’s
manufacturing parameters,” said
Amber Sterkel, program manager for
Genesis Homes of Colorado.
The Company also coordinated the
delivery, on-site installation and finish
of the building, where even more time
savings were realized. Since
approximately 80 percent of the
structure’s construction occurred in a
tightly-controlled manufacturing facility,
site construction, deliveries, traffic and
skilled labor required at the job site
were dramatically reduced, shaving
project timelines by up to 33 percent.
Stucco and porches were added on
site, as part of the finish work.
Genesis modular is an ideal building
process for developers of commercial
projects,” said Kevin Flaherty, vice
president, sales and marketing for
Genesis Homes. “A shorter
construction timeline means the
revenue flow begins earlier.”
The office building is of a design
typical to the Mountain-west region. It
has separate entrances for the two
tenants and a unique loft area. The
smaller office, at approximately 3,400
square feet, is home to an engineering
firm, and the larger, at approximately
4,200 square feet, houses state-level
offices of a national non-profit. Both
offices contain kitchen/lounge areas,
conference rooms, reception and
storage areas, as well as a number of
enclosed offices. Open work areas and
a “bull pen” were incorporated into the
floorplan of the engineering firm.
Using Genesis modular to build my
office building was definitely easier
than traditional site-built construction,”
said Rice. “I’ll definitely consider using
Genesis again.”
