Champion Homes

Champion Homes and the factory-built housing model

Champion Homes is a North American builder specialised in factory-built housing. Its catalogue covers manufactured and mobile homes, prefab modular homes, park model RVs and cabins, and accessory dwelling units such as in-law or granny suites, backyard studios, vacation and long-term rentals and she-sheds. The company presents itself as one of the largest modular homebuilders in North America and states that its structures can be found throughout the United States and western Canada.

Beyond single-family housing, the company produces multi-family homes and commercial and government modular buildings. Its output reaches buyers through a network of retailers, builders and developers, which the company describes as large and growing, so Champion-built structures appear in settings ranging from rural to urban.

Product lines on offer

• Manufactured and mobile homes: presented as high-quality, affordable housing for buyers.
• Modular homes: prefabricated homes in which the buyer can take part in the design.
• Park models and cabins: park model RVs with fully functional living spaces on wheels.
• Accessory dwelling units: secondary units for family use, studios or rental purposes.

The range spans single-section and multi-section homes in a variety of styles, according to the company's description of its family of brands.

Scale and track record

Champion quantifies its activity with three figures: more than 3 million factory-built manufactured, modular and mobile homes sold by its family of builders, 24 Champion brands and over 8,400 employees. The company dates its origins to 1953, when it was founded as a single facility in a small town, and describes itself as one of the most storied manufacturers in the sector.

How buyers reach a Champion home

The website is organised around a home finder that lets users set a build location by city, state or zip code and filter by number of bedrooms and bathrooms, showing available models within a given radius. A separate search allows browsing manufactured home communities featuring Champion homes, aimed at both first-time buyers and empty nesters. The company also publishes a homebuying process guide, a guide to manufactured housing communities, a monthly payment calculator, FAQs and a glossary of terms.

Brands, media presence and corporate information

Champion's family of brands is presented as delivering a wide range of manufactured and modular products, from single- and multi-section homes to park models and cabins. The company appeared in an episode of Designing Spaces broadcast on Lifetime Television, which showcased its home designs, the benefits of offsite construction and a tour of the Olivia, one of its offsite-built homes. The corporate site also lists sections for investor relations, news, careers, history and a dedicated area for builders and developers, including a Concord Duplex Series and community solutions.
