Deltec Homes - anyone built one?

[Leonid Sapronov]

Looking to connect with anyone who's bought and built a Deltec Homes prefab house. If you are in Maryland or Northern Virginia - even better. If you've built another company's prefab, would love to hear about your experience as well. This is the company I'm looking at:

We have been the GC and builder of 1 Deltec home for a customer.  In regards to dealing with the company I would say they were easy to work with.  We put the home together with our own crew and I personally worked on the kit as well.  I would reccomend finding a crew that specializes in putting the shells together, Deltec has a number of set crews they can help you finding.  While the build was not difficult, there is a learning curve that I believe after the fact would have been more economical to pay for a seasoned set crew.  Be prepared for extra expenses on the interior part of the home because of the non conforming shape of the building that creates alot of customization for trim, drywall corners, cabinets, built in's, etc.  On a personal note, while the home has a cool factor to it, the interior flow of these homes can be a little disjointed  due to the shape and I would spend a lot of time on the design to minimize these issues if possible.  Hope this helps.
