Honomobo has been at the forefront of modular homebuilding, providing sustainable and energy-efficient homes designed to perform in the harshest environments. With operations in both the United States and Canada, the company delivers homes that are built to last, meet rigorous energy standards, and provide comfort for their residents in any climate.
Sustainability at the Core
Sustainability is central to Honomobo’s building process. The foundation of their homes is built on durability, utilizing structural steel frames and floor-to-ceiling windows. These elements not only contribute to the structural integrity of each home but also play a key role in ensuring energy efficiency. From extreme temperatures ranging from -40°F to +120°F, to seismic D zones and snow loads of up to 130lbs per square foot, Honomobo ensures their homes are equipped to handle even the most demanding conditions.
Energy Efficiency Standards in the U.S. and Canada
Honomobo goes above and beyond to meet or exceed the most current energy codes in both the United States and Canada. Their homes feature Cool Roof Rated/Energy Star single-ply roofing membranes, high-quality windows designed to mitigate solar gain, spray foam insulation, and energy-efficient HVAC systems. These components work together to reduce energy consumption, lower utility bills, and create a comfortable living environment year-round.
Cross-Border Operations: Shaping the Business
With a strong presence in both the U.S. and Canada, Honomobo has been able to provide high-quality homes across North America. Their homes are designed and built in Canada, where they meet and exceed some of the most stringent building codes on the continent. The U.S. market, being the largest segment of their overall demand, has shaped their operations and led to the development of homes that meet the diverse needs of both markets.
As a company that operates across borders, Honomobo is compliant with the United States-Mexico-Canada (USMCA) Free Trade Agreement and offers homes classified as a 0% duty/tariff item, making them an attractive option for U.S. buyers.
Design Flexibility Across Markets
One of the key advantages of Honomobo’s homes is their ability to meet the demanding conditions of both the U.S. and Canadian markets with minimal alterations. Their standard design and specifications cover around 90% of North America’s conditions, allowing for flexibility and customization based on local regulations and client needs. This adaptability is crucial for maintaining consistency and efficiency across various projects, regardless of location.
Upcoming Projects and Design Trends
Looking ahead, Honomobo continues to focus on innovation and sustainability. They have been actively involved in rebuilding efforts in California since 2018, where they’ve built non-combustible homes that exceed current fire regulations. These homes are particularly crucial in fire-prone areas, ensuring both safety and durability for homeowners.
Additionally, Honomobo is reintroducing a new Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) product line, returning to their roots with a focus on smaller, more affordable homes that are perfect for today’s housing needs. This new product line reflects the growing demand for flexible living spaces and contributes to the broader trend of sustainable, compact homebuilding.
Looking Ahead
As Honomobo continues to grow and innovate, they remain committed to providing homes that are not only energy-efficient and sustainable but also flexible and adaptable to the needs of modern homebuyers. Whether you're looking for a durable, fire-resistant home or a customizable ADU, Honomobo offers innovative solutions built to last in the toughest environments.
