ABOUT US

LOCALLY OWNED & OPERATED SINCE 1982

General Housing Corporation (GHC) has been a trusted name in building high-quality modular homes in Michigan since 1982. Based in Bay City, our corporate headquarters and production facilities are right here in the Great Lakes State. Over the years, we’ve proudly built around 6,000 residential and light commercial structures across Michigan—each one crafted to meet or exceed the Michigan Residential Building Code.

Working in partnership with licensed modular home builders in Michigan, GHC brings your vision to life using proven modular construction methods. Compared to traditional site-built homes, our process delivers faster build times, reduces waste, and results in stronger, more stable structures. Our materials are protected from the elements throughout the entire building process—unlike site-built homes, where wood and other components are often exposed to sun, rain, snow, and wind.

Our selection of modular home plans is designed to meet the needs of families across the State of Michigan. Whether you’re building on the shores of a northern lake or in a bustling suburban neighborhood, we can help. Michigan’s unique geography—featuring miles of coastline and hundreds of inland lakes—often comes with distinct zoning and permitting challenges. Fortunately, GHC works with local, licensed builders who understand these regional complexities, making it easier to deliver modular homes in Michigan wherever you need one.

We’re proud to be Michigan owned, with Michigan employees making Michigan-focused decisions. When you choose GHC, you’re keeping your investment in the state—and supporting a team that truly loves Michigan.

We LIVE here. We BUILD here. We BELIEVE in modular homes made for Michigan.

Experienced Home Builders

BRINGING IT ALL TOGETHER!

We work with licensed home builders (contractors) throughout a majority of the state of Michigan, including half of the Upper Peninsula. A GHC licensed builder in your area will handle the permitting and site work such as driveways, grade alterations, crawl space or basement construction, and old building tear down if it’s needed. Your builder will also oversee utility hookups including well and/or septic, if appropriate. You can be confident knowing our builders are experienced, typically with their own staff and local subcontractors that work toward building the home of your dreams.

Your licensed builder will work in conjunction with General Housing Corporation to bring together all the pieces of your new dream modular home, but the scope of your builder’s duties in the project is up to you! Your builder can do as little as arrange delivery of a home for you, to a full turn-key project that includes a garage, deck(s), patio(s), porch(es), and even landscaping, if desired.

STAGED MODELS

We have two staged models at our 4650 Wilder Road offices. The models provide an opportunity to see our quality construction first hand. Staff is available to answer any questions or concerns you may have. Our models are open Monday through Friday, 8:00am – 5:00pm. They are also open the 3rd Saturday of each month from 9:00am to noon.

Our Glen Arbor II is a spacious 2,533 square foot open-concept home that blends elegance with versatility. Featuring 9-foot ceilings and a layout that suits both upscale subdivisions and scenic lakefront or hilltop locations, this home is filled with natural light thanks to two sliding glass doors and a striking gable window collection that highlights the vaulted kitchen, dining, and living areas. The master suite includes a generous walk-in closet, double vanities, a separate toilet room, and a beautifully designed walk-in shower. With the potential for up to five bedrooms and three bathrooms, this floor plan offers plenty of flexibility—and if you’re drawn to the design but prefer a smaller footprint, we offer several variations to fit your needs.

Our Ann Arbor model is a 1,470 square foot mid-century modern ranch that proves thoughtful design can make a modest footprint feel expansive. This open-concept floor plan offers nearly endless customization options, blending classic mid-century charm with smart, modern touches. From the welcoming front porch and gable window collections to transom windows in the upper eaves, every detail adds character and light. Inside, you’ll find an island with a bar sink, a stylish walk-in shower, and sleek plumbing and lighting fixtures that elevate the space. While compact in size, the layout is inspired by our most popular design—reimagined with fresh twists that make it truly stand out. If you’re drawn to the clean lines and timeless appeal of mid-century modern, this is a model you won’t want to miss.

CUSTOM CRAFTED CONSTRUCTION

SKILLED CRAFTSMAN AND DESIGNERS

We are extremely fortunate to have a group of skilled craftsman working at GHC to provide you with a home that is not only strong and square, but has the fit and finish you would expect from a custom home builder. We also have a dedicated engineering department with architects on staff to ensure code compliance and structural integrity, while providing a smart well designed floor plan. Traffic patterns, furniture layouts and window locations are all given careful consideration.

We love what we do, and are genuinely proud of the homes we build.  We would be privileged to be an integral part of building your dream home.
