    Affordable Housing with Avrame Home Kits

    A 30-year mortgage that owns you isn't the only way into a house.

    Affordable housing used to mean settling: a smaller lot, a builder-grade finish, a floor plan someone else picked for you. Avrame flips that. A pre-engineered, pre-cut kit is the one build method where the price is locked before anyone swings a hammer.

    No interior load-bearing walls means you design the inside however you want, not however the floor plan allows. Do the labor yourself and the budget drops further. Bring in help for the parts you'd rather not do, and it still costs less than building from scratch.

    This is what affordable housing actually looks like when it's done right: not the cheaper version of a real house, but the version where you know exactly what you're paying for.
