From our humble beginnings for illusion homes that started just before the virus struck, James Bolin and Mike Leslie, here in Naples were working to create an indestructible home. Due to the fact that we have both lived through multiple hurricanes in SW Florida with seven hurricanes over the last 10 years we had a vision and we had the know-how. Now with the skyrocketing insurance rates, not only for the manufactured homes, but also traditional homes if they had all been built more durable, they could have survived, but the results were devastating as they were destroyed by high winds and water.

We were always fascinated by the longevity of a steel containers. We’ve been manufacturing products in Asia, mainly in China for nearly three decades from laptop computers, generators, TV’s, atmospheric water generators, commercial mowers, heavy equipment along with several other products with our long-established partnerships with over 40 plus factories.

What caught my eye when I was in Asia many years ago, was how homes were being made out of shipping containers with some very unique characteristics creating the expandable style home using one container that would expand out two to three times its normal size.

We have done years of extensive research since the virus shut everything down as we were building a couple of new models here in Florida. The shutdown created a domino effect which was causing labor issues and was harder to get people to do anything and as a result it basically stopped us in our tracks.

With lots of time on our hands, not just months, but years to review, research, design and redesign endless times both here and at our home building factories in China, we continued to worked on different types of steel and aluminum for the structural designs and costs factors to create the indestructible home beyond our earlier vision that would not burn down or blow away.

We wanted a home with the lowest insurance rates possible, that would be hurricane proof-tornado proof-fire proof-burglar proof-earthquake proof-termite proof-mold proof-mildew-proof and will with stand 200 mph winds to meet and exceed Miami Dade Florida codes which are the toughest in the nation.

Our relentless pursuit allowed us to create the most perfect home that could be mass produced into finished modules, delivered, set and welded onto a concrete foundation and be move in ready in a matter of days. By having only one size module, the factory is extremely efficient for mass production as a one size fits all. Each module containing 640 square feet 16’x40’ finished completely on the inside with simple quick connect for multiple modules creating endless home configurations. For anyone not wanting the container look exterior, the options for cold form metal light weight trusses for the roofs with endless options of colors and styles of roofing along with siding or stucco for the exterior walls that are site installed that will make your home look like any other house in any neighborhood.

What we originally conceived was manufacturing the homes here in Florida setting up a dealer network in states east of the Mississippi River and eventually expanding to states west of the Mississippi River.

After all this time and research which has been a blessing in disguise, we have come to the conclusion that the high costs of overheard based in Florida doing the manufacturing and selling to the dealers adds extra layers of overhead costs and the additional added profits for the company thus making the homes more costly for the buyer as the dealer also has to mark up for their profits which adds more to the selling price for the buyer. Then add in the high cost of shipping by truck across the country is not conducive to keeping the cost of the home at its lowest price point. And the lowest price point is a no-brainer. It’s in the state where the homes are micro manufactured and sold. So, instead of creating a huge company here in Naples which will consume a lot of cash for overhead and personnel for a corporate headquarters to run a National Organization based in Florida. We felt the most cost-effective approach for everyone’s interest, especially for the home buyer would be to set up micro manufacturing facilities with key licensed contractors/investors in states where they live, build and sell homes. What has happened is, we have cut out 3 layers of added costs by eliminating corporate headquarters manufacturing mark ups for profit, dealers’ markups for profit and long road transportation delivery costs. This decision has created a huge savings for the home buyer giving them an indestructible home, with factory direct prices with no middlemen in their home state with a fantastic price point.

For Builders and investors, owning their own micro-facilities using our blueprint and our supply chains to manufacture our indestructible homes using our third party inspection services which are approved by the states in the US that inspect the homes as they are built, they will then apply the appropriate approval sticker on the lid of the electrical box inside the home that shows this home, for example was manufactured in the state of Tennessee and is approved for occupancy and ready for delivery in the state of Tennessee.

By manufacturing the homes in their own backyard, there manufacturing costs go strictly for materials and labor without having to pay monthly franchise fees, dealer fees and all the ongoing percentages on everything you sell when you own a dealership or a franchise operation that last forever as an owner.

When we set up the client for a new micro-manufacturing operation, we will guide them all the way and they will be operational within 120 days or less. One fee sets up full ownership and you keep all the profits. Regards, James Bolin and Mike Leslie, Naples.
