SPANISH FORK, UT -- Beverly Hills closed tony Sunset Boulevard as eight semi trucks delivered a million dollar, factory-built home, with fully finished wood interiors. The home was fitted with hand-hewn interior cabinetry, built-in woodwork throughout, exposed ceiling beams, hardwood doors and case mouldings, all preinstalled at Irontown Housing Company, Inc. The over-the-top prefabricated home, principally built of wood, joins a growing list of high-profile projects by Irontown Housing, a 25-year-old Utah firm operating in a 60,000 square-foot plant.

Irontown Housing delivered this latest custom home to Beverly Hills July 14th. (Trucks left the factory in a long convoy.) The home features exquisite hand hewn cabinetry and  custom painting, majestic fireplace, exotic granite countertops, custom granite showers, and upgraded insulation. Also included are Pella windows, tile roof, GE Monogram appliances, Moen fixtures, imported tile flooring, home automation, and double-layered security system.

Eight individual modules were craned onto the foundation in one day and finishing will be completed within a few weeks on site.

Irontown says homes are 95% finished when they leave its Spanish Forks, UT factory. Irontown Housing says its 60,000-square-foot climate-controlled production facility, which opened in March, allows interior and exterior construction workers to have all their resources centrally located, which allows a focus on strict quality control, precision scheduling and material waste prevention.

The production area is four times the size of Irontown's old facility, and features 45-foot tall ceilings and 180-foot span  overhead cranes, allowing it to build two-story structures exactly as they will sit the building site, eliminating any installation discrepancies. The plant has a capacity too build single homes, or a 200-home subdivision or a hotel, says Irontown.

Irontown Housing recently completed a home in the Moab Desert in Utah (shown) Moab desert with
bamboo flooring, wood-paneled walls, and recycled counter top materials. It has also placed upscale homes several other California, including Manhattan Beach, Goleta, Montecito, Los Altos, Santa Barbara and Los Gatos.  "These municipalities are realizing we are a help to them and to the construction process," says Jason Valgardson, Irontown VP. With tight space constraints on so many California properties, building a home can be a nightmare for the entire neighborhood. Our homes are set on the site in one day instead of having a noisy, messy construction site for 12 - 15 months."
