The short answer

A full concrete slab is not always necessary. A properly prepared gravel pad and approved supports may be acceptable depending on local rules, soil and manufacturer requirements. Site requirements vary; ask local officials and qualified installers before delivery.

Concrete versus gravel

Compacted gravel may work in some locations; a local professional must evaluate drainage, soil bearing, frost depth and required support or foundation systems.

What must be ready before delivery?

Confirm zoning, permits, site access, grade, appropriate supports and anchoring before delivery. Optional patios and landscaping may wait.

Start with your fully equipped home

Your home comes fully equipped with its standard living essentials. Delivery, permits, utility connections, site preparation and installation are separate. Required safe supports, anchoring, access and approvals must be completed when applicable; optional exterior improvements can often wait. See Delivery and Setup and Fully Equipped Pricing.

Frequently asked questions

Can optional improvements be added later?
Often yes, depending on local rules. Required supports, anchoring, utilities, safe access and inspections must not be deferred.
