Simplex Homes Review

Simplex Homes is a Scranton, Pennsylvania based designer and manufacturer of both pre-engineered and custom prefab homes. Simplex Homes has an in-house design and engineering team which can work with outside builders and architects to design and manufacture a fully-custom, modular home. They also offer pre-designed homes which come in a variety of designs such as modern, ranches, capes, beach homes, traditional 2-story homes, and even multi-family designs. Simplex homes allows for the customization of interior finishes such as tile, counter tops, flooring, and cabinetry  as well as exterior options such as windows, doors, and shingle color. Furthermore, Simplex Homes has the ability to manufacture homes that can meet Energy Start certification requirements.

It is worth noting that Simplex Homes operates using a business-to-business model; This means that rather than selling directly to interested home buyers, they sell their homes through their contractor network or through 3rd party builders. As a result, it is difficult for a prospective buyer to get cost information unless you are already working with a qualified builder. Simplex Homes does note that they can assist individuals in finding a qualified builder in their area to begin the process. From a review standpoint, Simplex Homes has received more than one 1-star review relating to the quality of their product and the professionalism of their builder network however, the proportion of negative reviews to completed projects is still low.

Strengths:

  • They work with commercial builders and architects and can manufacture 3rd party designs

  • Can manufacture and ship home modules in a highly-finished state

Reasons they might not be for you:

  • You are looking to work with the same company from start to finish: design, permitting, manufacturing, installation, and finishing

  • You are located outside of their Northeastern U.S. service area

  • You are concerned about prior reviews
