While this may seem like a simple promise, the process that goes into making it a reality is quite extensive. The Clayton Built® team knew that in order to create a home that lasts, we had to find materials that would hold up to our high standards. While we found some, others just didn’t make the cut. So, we decided to make them ourselves. That’s where Clayton Supply comes in.

We knew that in order to make our supply chain as efficient as possible, we needed an amazing team that would stop at nothing to complete your home as quickly as possible, use high-quality materials in the process, and prioritize cost-saving measures to save you money. That’s why we created Clayton Supply, our own internal supply chain.

Over time, we have established more distribution centers across the U.S. This has allowed the Clayton team to buy items like lumber, cabinetry, and plumbing in bulk and send necessary materials to the building facility where and when they are needed. This process allows us to buy materials at their lowest price and pass the savings on to you.

Who we areOur homes reflect a unique product where quality meets efficiency, and cutting down the number of steps in the building process helps us offer the best value to our home buyers. From building in climate-controlled facilities to working with experienced architects and engineers, every aspect of the building process is thoughtfully planned to reduce waste, cost, and construction time.
Cut out the middleman: We can help reduce costs for our home buyers by buying directly from regional suppliers at the lowest prices available. This approach limits additional steps between the suppliers and retailers and allows us to order materials in quantities that meet our exact needs. This process also helps support our overall affordability and improve efficiency in how materials are sourced, stored, and shipped.
Time is everything: We know when you purchase a home, you begin to count down the days until move-in. That’s why Clayton Supply has perfected a streamlined building process designed to get you home sooner. Handling more steps internally allows us to manage material orders more accurately, which means we waste fewer materials and save on unnecessary inventory.
Our Clayton Connect® team: Having our own transport team within our supply chain allows us to create a smoother delivery process for our home buyers. Our more than 200 drivers and support team members stop at nothing to transport our homes exactly where they need to go, covering millions of miles every year.
The Clayton team is proud of the steps we’ve taken and the milestones we’ve reached to deliver you a seamless modern manufactured home buying process, from start to finish. To learn more, explore home building articles on our Learning & support page.
