Meet the Feasibility Package. A simple way to confirm your land, layout, budget, and project feasibility before committing to a prefab. You’ll get clarity on every major step — plus starter plans — and if you move forward, the full $1,000 applies to your prefab deposit.
We perform a virtual due-diligence review of your parcel — access, slopes, utilities, setbacks, terrain, and red flags that could impact cost or viability.
A realistic, high-level cost projection for the entire project — prefab shell, foundation, utilities, finishes, and contingency.
A conceptual layout showing recommended home placement, driveway, structure footprints, and orientation for views, privacy, and solar gain.
A dedicated working session with the DEN team to review findings, site plan, budget, goals, and next steps.

Great question — and also kind of like asking how much a wedding costs. It depends… but we can help you get close!
What we do know is this: our prefab packages are insanely affordable, especially if you're building in a high price-per-square-foot market. Seriously — you're getting a fully insulated building shell, with premium windows and doors, for less than a luxury car. And unlike a car, this thing won't depreciate the second it hits your land — it's a house. A real one. One that'll last generations and possibly outlive us all.
Want to know how much your total project will cost turn-key?
👉 Use our cost calculator here.
Plug in your local construction costs, and then drop our prefab price right in the middle of that budget range. That'll give you a solid sense of what your site work, interior finishes, and utilities might add up to.
And remember — if you're comparing this to stick-built, you're probably going to be pleasantly surprised.
The prefab package starts at $133,750. This includes the panelized construction system, engineered plans, windows and exterior doors, and shipping within the continental United States. Additional costs will include site preparation, foundation, interior finishing, and mechanical systems installation by your local contractor. Taxes and additional fees may apply.
No. All of DEN's Prefab Packages come with fully engineered and stamped plans ready for permitting. These comprehensive documents include all necessary specifications for your local contractor to complete the build according to design.
Yes. Customizations are available and carry a flat 5% fee of the total prefab sticker price. We’ll review all requested changes in preconstruction to ensure they can be integrated into the prefab system.
Extremely efficient. Our premium steel and closed cell foam panel system provides superior insulation that exceeds all local building codes. Combined with the mini-split HVAC system and optional wood or gas stove, DEN prefabs maintain comfortable temperatures year-round with minimal energy consumption, even in extreme climates.
Yes! DEN's entire catalogue was designed with both private retreat and hospitality ventures in mind. Its efficient space planning, luxury amenities, and striking design make it ideal for the short-term rental market.
Your prefab is cleared for shipment as soon as the final payment is fulfilled. Once paid, the kit is released from the factory and routed to your delivery location.

The panel system can be erected in roughly 5-15 days with a small crew and lightweight crane. However, total project completion time will depend on your local contractor's schedule for foundation work, interior finishing, and systems installation. Most clients can expect the entire process from foundation to move-in to take 3-6 months.
Our panels utilize premium steel and closed cell foam construction rather than traditional structural insulated panels (SIPs). This provides superior thermal performance, structural integrity, and longevity. Unlike standard SIPs, our panels won't degrade or rot over time, and they exceed all local insulation codes.
DEN's Prefab Packages can be built on a variety of foundation types, including concrete slab, crawl space, or walkout basement. Your local building codes, site conditions, and personal preference will ultimately determine the most suitable foundation. This decision is finalized during the preconstruction phase, and the prefab package will be adapted accordingly.
Local engineering is required to generate a stamped foundation design, which will account for soil testing results and site-specific conditions. DEN provides you with a complete engineered plan set from the foundation up, ready to support your project through permitting and construction.
You start by placing a $10,000 deposit, fully refundable for 14 days. This deposit initiates your kickoff consultation with the DEN team and begins the preconstruction phase.
During preconstruction, you’ll work closely with DEN to finalize site orientation, foundation requirements, code guidance, permitting support, and your complete project packet.
At the end of preconstruction, you’ll receive your engineered plan set along with a manufacturing contract for your prefab package.
The manufacturing contract includes two payment milestones:
These payments initiate fabrication and prepare your home for delivery. Third-party construction financing may be available depending on your lender.
