The factory

One factory. One family. Three homes a week.

We design, engineer, and manufacture every Clever Builds unit at our 85,000 sq ft facility in Ensenada, Baja California — 90 minutes from our San Diego office, an hour from the US border.

Certifications & standards

Pre-approved at the state level.

Our units are inspected by the State of California during factory build — which means local jurisdictions can only inspect the site work, not the factory work. Major time savings versus stick-built.

The Clever Tiny Homes line ships nationwide as Park Model RVs (ANSI 119.5). Clever Builds modular ADUs are CA-only and HCD-certified.
