The home
The Alder at a glance
Everyday living opens toward the garden, with kitchen, dining and family spaces gathered at the center of the home. A separate front lounge and study offer quieter places to relax or work. Three bedrooms include a primary suite with a walk-in wardrobe and private bathroom, while a pantry passage and dedicated laundry support daily routines. The double garage connects to the entry foyer. The base design is on a slab; an optional unfinished basement introduces a stair hall in place of the study. Warm wood cladding spans the entire left front gable to the central valley, beside the charcoal garage gable.

How it's built
The Alder, built with panelized construction
MBS builds The Alder from factory-made wall panels, floor cassettes and roof panels, CNC-cut in our St. Louis plant to the approved drawings. Panels ship flat and are set on a conventional foundation. The finished home is wood framing, not a modular box or a manufactured home, with a 50% quicker construction schedule.
Pick your package
Framing only, open or sheathed panels, or closed panels with windows, cladding and MEP rough-in.
Keep your crew
Your framer sets the panels, or MBS coordinates installation with your GC.
Fixed price, standard trucks
A fixed factory price, valid 30 days, with freight included within 1,000 miles of St. Louis.
