Site Work & Setup for New Homes – Durham Mobile Park Project

This project took us to Durham Mobile Homes & Park Ltd., just south of Owen Sound—where our family has operated the park for three generations. We oversaw the setup of two new Northland Industries manufactured homes, handling all aspects of site prep and installation.

As general contractor, JCB & SONS managed new concrete footings, 24” Bigfoot piers set 4 feet below grade, and full frost-protected runners. We also handled leveling, axle removal, and final placement of the homes, followed by custom entrance decks and site cleanup. While this isn’t our typical residential renovation, it reflects the same standard of care, family commitment, and hands-on quality we bring to every project.

15mm rebar is installed in every pier as well as in the cement runner the wheels ride on while the home is being backed into place.

The new homes are carefully guided onto the new footings, ready to have the axles removed and set on cement blocks using a large tractor.

These new homes from Northlander Industries are both 14'-0" wide x 66'-0" long and are available up to 72'-0" long.  The factory also offers beautiful side entrance additions, as well as many customization options.

Once the homes are sitting on their new solid cement blocks a pressure treated frame is assembled to hold the new vinyl skirting.  Than the new vinyl skirting comes right from Northlander to insure a 100% perfect colour match to the new home.

We also built new Pressure Treated Decks with maintenance free aluminum railings.  This particular home also received a ramp for easy access for the client.

The sites were finished off with all the disturbed areas getting new topsoil levelled off and fresh grass seed for a beautiful future lawn.
