SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. - Oct. 3 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- Altamont Homes, Inc., in Martinez, Calif., is the leading provider of a new type of housing being offered in California and surrounding states - Off-site Built Homes. Off-site Built Homes, also known as True Modular homes, are built in accordance with the same building codes which traditional on-site built homes are constructed - the Uniform Building Code (UBC) or International Building Code (IBC).

Off-site Built Homes are not to be confused with manufactured homes, a more common type of factory-built home constructed to a different building code - the HUD code - which can be more limited in architecture and not as favorable to appraise or finance.

Apart from attractive designs, Off-site Built Homes also boast higher strength, surviving hurricanes and earthquakes better than traditional on-site built homes or manufactured homes. These homes also have excellent energy efficiency.

Altamont Homes has a proven track record in helping their clients find the best Off-site Built Homes for their needs. Their factory suppliers pre-fabricate high quality home modules that Altamont Homes assembles and finishes on-site for their clients.

"We provide our clients with superior quality, faster completion, affordability and an easier build process," Eric Peterson, President, said.

Experienced building consultants will guide clients through the total construction process. This feature, combined with Altamont's superior customer service, has nurtured customer loyalty and repeat buyers.

"I have used Altamont Homes for four projects," Gary Stokes said, "and, I'm planning several more. They are professional and their off-site built homes are a terrific value over a traditional on-site constructed or manufactured home."

There is a wide array of models to choose from that range from log homes and modular mansions to custom estate homes and Altamont signature homes; there is something for everyone's budget.

"My lender referred me to Altamont Homes because their off-site built homes offered better financing and appraisals than a manufactured home, yet their homes still cost less than a traditional on-site constructed home," Dave Magann said.

Altamont Homes, Inc. was formed in 2003 by a group of experienced construction industry professionals who saw the need for housing that was more affordable without sacrificing quality, appearance, or value.
