Prefab homes in Oregon, from 300 miles up the same coast
Portland, the coast, the Willamette Valley and the Cascades. Our plant sits in the same rain belt and on the same subduction zone, which means an Oregon package is our standard specification rather than an adaptation of it.
We already build for your climate
Pacific Homes manufactures panelized home packages at Cobble Hill on Vancouver Island and delivers them throughout Oregon. Panels ship flat on standard trucks, so no oversize permits and no restricted routes, and your own licensed Oregon builder assembles on site.
The part worth understanding: coastal Oregon and coastal British Columbia are the same building problem. Same rain, same long wet winters, same subduction zone. The wall and the roof are engineered for it already because British Columbia requires it.
Why the specification does not change at the border
Most manufacturers shipping into Oregon are adapting a product designed for somewhere drier or somewhere stiller. We are not.
Where in Oregon
Portland and the Willamette Valley
The densest and most regulated part of the state, and the one where accessory dwelling units come up constantly. Our Island Series runs 505 to 1,170 square feet, which covers most ADU allowances. City rules have changed repeatedly, so confirm current requirements before design.
The coast
Wind driven rain, salt air and exposure. This is the condition we know best, because it is the one outside our own windows. Cladding choice and detailing matter more here than anywhere else in the state.
Bend and the Cascades
Real snow load and a wide temperature swing, with warm summers against cold winters. The envelope works in both directions, and the roof is engineered to your elevation rather than to a regional figure. Mountain builds.
Rural and remote lots
Eastern Oregon, forest properties, and anywhere a delivery route needs thinking about. Flat panels carry far more house per load than a finished modular box, which is what makes difficult access practical at all. Remote building.
What we do, and what stays with your builder
We manufacture and deliver the package: engineered wall panels, roof trusses, floor systems, windows, doors, and the rest of the components, cut indoors to consistent tolerances and shipped to your lot. The full component list.
Your own licensed Oregon builder handles assembly, permitting and site work. That is deliberate rather than a limitation: they know the county, the inspectors and the ground, and no manufacturer three hundred miles away knows those better than a local does.
Design, estimating and engineering are included in the package rather than billed separately, and more than 95% of the homes we build are customized before manufacturing begins. Bring your own drawings, an architect, or one of our plans as a starting point.
Building in Oregon
Yes. Packages ship from our facility at Cobble Hill on Vancouver Island, roughly 300 miles north of Portland. Panels travel flat on standard trucks, so there are no oversize permits or restricted routes to plan around, and delivery reaches the coast, the Willamette Valley, Bend and the Cascades alike. How delivery works.
Particularly well, because it is the same climate we build for at home. Coastal Oregon and coastal British Columbia share a rain belt, and the envelope problems are identical: moisture management, drying capacity, and comfort through a long wet winter rather than a short cold one. Our wall was developed for this, not adapted to it. The wall.
Oregon sits on the Cascadia subduction zone, and so does Vancouver Island. Our SmartWall was seismic tested at the University of British Columbia with FPInnovations against conventional wood wall construction and performed significantly better. That testing was done because British Columbia requires it, and it applies equally to an Oregon site.
Yes, and the size bracket suits it. Our Island Series runs from 505 to 1,170 square feet, which covers most accessory dwelling unit allowances. Portland's rules have changed several times in recent years and are widely misreported, so confirm the current requirements with the city before design rather than relying on anything you read online. More on ADUs.
A licensed Oregon builder of your choosing. We manufacture and deliver the package; local assembly, permitting and site work stay with your own contractor, who knows the county, the inspectors and the ground. If you do not have a builder we can often help you find one.
Tell us where in Oregon, and we will tell you what it needs.
Snow load, exposure and access all change the specification, and all three are easier to establish before a design than after one. Design, estimating and engineering are included in the package rather than billed separately.
