The Way We Build
Resource Management
Because we construct homes at scale inside of our building facilities, we can order many materials in bulk, such as lumber, siding, and sheetrock. This allows us to reduce packaging waste and establish recycling partnerships with our vendors, both of which help to save on costs and make our homes more attainable.
Renewable Energy
Clayton is expanding its use of renewable energy in its operations. In 2023, Clayton will install several solar systems at home building facilities in east Tennessee and at Clayton’s home office. As we reduce emissions in our operations, we will continuously look to incorporate more renewable energy solutions including fleet modernization.
Clayton Built® Partners
We partner with some of the world's leading home building brands to ensure our homes include long-lasting, innovative products and features. We are proud to partner with brands that are putting sustainability at the forefront of their product development and operations.
ISO® 14001:2015
Clayton’s home building facilities continuously implement new, innovative methods and partnerships to increase recycling efforts and reuse materials, reducing waste. In 2014, we began launching our ISO® 14001 program*, the gold standard of environmental management systems, in all Clayton home building facilities and Clayton Supply centers. Since then, we have significantly reduced waste in our operations through improved resource management and landfill diversion efforts. Learn more about ISO 14001.

eBuilt® Homes in the City
Recently, we announced the introduction of two new eBuilt® CrossMod homes in the city of Atlanta, the very first of their kind within the city’s perimeter. CrossMod homes are built off-site in home building facilities and finished on-site with a foundation, garage and porches. The city of Atlanta allows off-site built homes within city limits so long as the homes are secured to a permanent foundation.
