Home Centers stocking Clayton Built® homes will feature interactive QR codes throughout its models.

This will provide customers the tools necessary to select a floor plan while discovering how manufactured and modular homes are some of the most affordable, reliable and beautifully designed options for homeownership today.

"Off-site built homes are a modern, quality option for anyone looking to buy a home," said Kevin Clayton, CEO of Clayton. "These affordable homes are energy efficient and stylish, though many people aren't aware of the level of craftsmanship built into each design. The Behind the Build experience highlights the benefits the off-site home building process offers home buyers as they make one of the biggest purchasing decisions of their lives."

The Behind the Build digital experience is part of the larger Clayton Built® Promise of strength, integrity and accountability. All Clayton Built® homes are a step above standard federal guidelines, and include the following features that improve overall quality, efficiency and durability:

• Manufactured home energy efficiency standards and products that include Low-E windows, SmartComfort® by Carrier® heating and cooling features, an ecobee® smart thermostat and more.
