Method Homes builds distinctive architect designed homes through advanced off-site construction methodologies
Since 2007, we have successfully completed over 400 projects in the Western US and Canada. Our strength lies in our integrated process with architects, engineers, craftspeople, and local contractors all working together with a rigorous dedication to sustainability and quality. Whether you bring your architect to Method or work with Method’s in-house architect team, we have a robust collaborative approach to both the design and fabrication of your new home.

At Method, we believe everyone deserves to live, work, and learn in healthy, quality buildings
For almost two decades, we’ve been committed to building homes and commercial structures with the highest-quality local materials to ensure every project is efficient, comfortable, and resilient. Our designs are guided by leading environmental certification standards—including LEED, Energy Star, the Living Building Challenge, and Passive House. In addition, our nearly net-zero, state-of-the-art off-site construction facility protects materials from the elements and theft while significantly reducing waste and minimizing damage.
Harmonizing your design vision with the site requirements to ensure your project’s success
Defining Project Goals: We will use a detailed questionnaire and varied architectural visuals to explore your story, understand your aesthetics, and begin to know your lifestyle to set the direction for the design of your home.
Conducting a Site Review: We’ll assess the feasibility of accessing the site and perform any necessary tests for Mechanical, Engineering, and Plumbing (MEP).
Complying with Local Zoning: We will conduct a broad review of local zoning code to confirm setbacks, height limitations, easements, shoreline regulations, and any environmental considerations for the site plan and design.
Bringing your vision to life, creating an immersive model of your new home and developing a detailed estimate.
Design Inspiration: We’ll review various design images together, guiding us through the design process responding to both your vision and the specific topography, climate, and natural site conditions.
Schematic Design: We will go through multiple iterations of designs, from initial floorplans, to 3D models and photorealistic renderings, to Virtual Reality models to transform your ideas into tangible plans.
Design Development: We will refine the design of your home with the structural engineer and prepare and submit plans for permitting.
Construction Documentation: Working closely with the interior design and specifications team, we will finalize interior selections. Throughout this process, we will develop line-by-line estimates to prepare for your fixed contract build.
Constructing your home at our Ferndale Factory
Your home’s construction: We’ll assign a senior project manager to guide you through the construction of your new home. You’ll receive biweekly updates and photos while they closely coordinate with the onsite general contractor.
Finishing touches: We’ll finalize casework shop drawings while our construction and interior design teams provide samples, as needed, and coordinate the final finishes.
Transporting your house from our factory to your home
Transportation and Delivery: Our experienced team coordinates with trucking and crane operators to place your home on to the foundation. A Set Manager from Method Homes will be on site to oversee the installation and provide leadership for the crane company, trucking company and set crew. The Set Manager will also coordinate with the General Contractor to ensure and facilitate a smooth transition to completing outstanding scope.
Setting your home: In just one day, the Method Set Team, crane operator, and trucking team will set your new home
Completing all of the finishing touches to make your home move-in ready.
The project manager will work closely with the site general contractor to ensure and facilitate a smooth transition. Method will remain engaged through the completion of the home and the final certificate of occupancy.

Residential
With over 400 projects successfully completed, Method Homes is at the fore-front of innovation in modern prefab home construction. We customize every project to complement your lot, lifestyle, and budget. Whether your design is crafted in-house, by an external team, or predesigned, we are excited to welcome you to modern living made easy.
Commercial
From multifamily projects to boutique hotels, Method Homes works with architects and developers to design, build and install high quality commercial structures. Method provides infinitely scalable options with unmatched flexibility, a cost-effective process, and a speedy turnaround.
Method is proud to service much of the Western US and parts of Canada. As a prefab builder working within a controlled factory environment, we have a unique advantage for servicing remote areas, alleviating the weather challenges that arise in mountainous or rainy climates, and providing a faster, more predictable timeline.

Our homes are crafted by skilled artisans in our state-of-the-art factory, empowering our team to consistently deliver the craftsmanship and detail on which we’ve built our reputation. The controlled factory environment allows us to build with greater precision and less damage to materials. We also tailor each project to the specific climate of your location, ensuring that your home will endure the changing seasons for decades to come.
Method can build a custom home 60 percent faster than the traditional site-built construction cycle, which means you get a new home on a fixed budget within a predictable timeline. Since we construct the modules at our facilities concurrently with local site work, we are able to shorten the project duration by an average of six months and provide less disruption to your neighbors. Our construction process also minimizes waste, recycles materials locally, and significantly reduces damage to materials compared to traditional stick-build homes.
The Method process supports full architectural customization, allowing us to unite our high level of craftsmanship with your personalized finishes, details, and specifications. A custom designed home from Method is tailored to your land, the topography, local weather patterns, and most importantly, you. The design process is a dynamic collaboration between the land, your vision, and the architecture team.
"For many years, we talked about what kind of structure we might want to create for ourselves. Above all, we knew that we wanted something that was built in a responsible manner. From our first meeting with Method, we had complete confidence in their ability not only to help us realize our vision, but also to enhance it with their knowledge of green building. Throughout the process, we were so impressed with their responsiveness and guidance in reaching a finished product. The result of our collaboration, the first M2, is a peaceful weekend retreat for family and friends."
“We are very pleased with Method. Each and every visitor to our new home is amazed at how spacious and beautiful the interior is — no one believes it’s modular until we show them pictures of the installation. The home is well-built and insulated, with walls of windows to take in our mountain views. We had a long cold snowy winter outside, and the radiant floor heating system was up to the task, keeping us toasty inside. Method provided excellent, post purchase support whenever we have questions and their employees are a pleasure to work with.”
“There are many reasons that prefab will begin to grow in the United States. Skilled construction labor is in increasingly short supply, fewer students are learning building trades, and those who do, prefer to work in more comfortable conditions, such as a factory. Time and cost savings are other significant advantages to prefab construction. Prefab houses can be built much faster and to a higher quality standard… such as this modular house in California built by Method.”
