| Editorial Review | Indiana Building Systems produces above average modular homes. This is a good option for all Midwest home buyers. They are part of the large IBS network and have a long reputation of quality construction. Our mystery shopper had an average time dealing with their customer service. We would recommend that you contact them to learn more about Indiana Building Systems and make your own decision. They are worth a consideration. |

Personal Reviews of Indiana Building Systems
 Brian J Barnim from Bayfield,Ont,Canada We purchased 4 Indiana building system modular home's, we are extremely distraut with the lack of quality control and workmanship. We purchased our home's for a small subdivision we were building close by, it was our intent to try to control cost by using factory built verses stick built. Dove Precision Homes of watford,Ont,Canada was the distributor of these homes for all of Ontario,looking after sales and service including all warranty related issues.Dove Precision Homes has since ceased their relationship with IBS as well as their obligation to " Us ".We have many issues with these homes, and the most important in my opinion is the lack of 6 mil vapour barrier. with our climate and fluctuating temperatures, these houses are condensating in the wall cavity and litterly buldging at the seams. The most prominent area's are the washrooms/fireplace and every partition wall. We are working very closely with CSA, We are out several thousand dollars in these repairs alone, without getting into quality issues. I would highly recommend contacting CSA if you are experiencing this condition.  Ron Hoffart from Yorkton Sask. Canada My wife and I purchased our new mobile home through Sask West Homes in Moose Jaw, Sask, Canada in July 2008. I have recently built a one car garage with an entryway beside the trailer. I wired in some lights in the entryway and had to cut a hole in the exterior wall to do so. Upon doing so I noticed there was no vapour barrier on this exterior wall and I was wondering if the whole trailer has no vapour barrier on any exterior walls ? I have'nt gone as far as looking behind the drywall to check this out but I'm very concerned about the one exterior wall I discovered with no vapour barrier. I also looked at some pictures online from your factory and noticed one where the sheathing was being installed on the floor and I see no vapour barrier on the warm side of the insulation. We have a Y06 model and are pleased with it, but it is a cold trailer for being built in 2008 and if I'm correct in thinking there is NO vapour barrier in the complete trailer how and why was this trailer CSA certified. And also if this is the case I was just wondering on who the certification was done by and a contact email address. Thank You Ron Hoffart
