Ready To Move homes are not the same as prefabricated and factory-built modular or mobile homes. Modular homes are typically constructed in factories, in 2 or more pieces. The pieces would be sent to you and put together on your site. Mobile homes are mass-produced in factories with a limited number of floor plans and finishing options available. The materials used are usually not comparable to those used in site built or RTM homes. 

All of our RTM homes are constructed from the ground-up in our Rosetown construction yard by passionate and skilled tradespeople. The completed home is then loaded onto moving beams connected to the moving truck that delivers your new home to your permanent foundation.

Yes! In fact, RTMs are built stronger with extra structure than a site-built home in order to minimize the risk of damage during the move.

An RTM is a cost-effective and time-effective option that provides convenience and quality control. We build all RTM homes at our centrally located construction site, which brings several logistical advantages and makes for an efficient and timely build process. The quality and availability of our tradespeople is guaranteed in advance so you can ensure that RTM will be ready on time, in good time.

After your home is moved onto your foundation and you have had your power hooked up, Greystone Homes’ service people will visit your home to fix any of these deficiencies caused during the move and to re-install the products that were not installed before the move. Our painters will then come to your home and apply a final coat of paint as required.

Absolutely! If you do not find what you are looking for amongst our selection of floor plans, you have lots of options. We can work with you to adapt or customize any of these floor plans, develop a new floor plan designed specifically for you, or build from another plan that you might already have.

With our support and guidance, you will be responsible for arranging for the foundation to be completed while we are building your RTM. We can provide you with a foundation drawing that can be used by the contractor of your choice. We can also refer you to the skilled tradespeople that we trust will provide you with a suitable foundation and/or basement. To learn more read our blog about RTM foundation preparation.

Absolutely! If you would like to add a garage to your RTM home project, we can build it and have it delivered as part of the RTM house.

Moving an entire house isn’t your typical move day! We employ the professional services of the Neufeld Building Movers to ensure your RTM home is transported safely. For information about the type of equipment and processes that are used to load, move, and unload an RTM home, please visit the website of Neufeld Building Movers at http://www.neufeldbuildingmovers.com/. 

To ensure that your finished home is not damaged during the move, we employ the professional services of the most experienced and trusted building movers in Saskatchewan. 

Although an RTM home is built stronger with more structural reinforcements than are necessary for site-built home, it is normal to expect some minor cosmetic damage during the move. But don’t worry, any damage will be repaired by our crew after the move is complete. We wait until after the move to install interior doors and fixtures to protect them from damage and prevent the need for replacement or re-installation. Finishings and final coats of paint are also completed after the move.

The moving costs depend on the location of the site and the size of the RTM. We work with Neufeld Building Movers and can help you arrange an estimate for your move. 

We can deliver RTM homes to anywhere within Alberta, Saskatchewan, or Manitoba. 

Because time is money! RTMs are built in a controlled, centralized location where all trades and parts are readily available, RTMs eliminate the delays and extra costs associated with contractors travelling back and forth from your rural location. RTM’s provide the best value for anybody considering a home-build away from a major centre. You’ll save time and money! 

RTMs are ideal for rural lots, small towns and lake town lots. RTM homes may be allowed in some city lots depending on the city’s bylaws and development standards, as well as the architectural guidelines of individual subdivisions.

Before you qualify for an RTM mortgage, most lenders will require that the home be laid in place on it’s foundation and that the home is insured. You may also be required to provide a local building permit, copies of blueprints for your project, a purchase contract, and land ownership documentation. We are here to support you and help provide the necessary documents for the mortgage application process.

Greystone Homes is a registered member of both the Saskatchewan Home Builders Association. All homes are covered with the National Home Warranty. We also carry course-of-construction insurance on all projects. 

At possession, a walk-through of the house is completed using a detailed spreadsheet that covers all items in the house, listed room-by-room. The homeowner and builder complete the Certificate of Possession together and each sign it before sending it to the National Home Warranty. We, the builders, are then responsible for the rectification of any problems identified on the Certificate of Possession.
