Bayfield

IRC modular construction: what it means for your site

The Bayfield is built to Indiana's residential building code (the IRC) — the same code as a site-built house — and inspected by the state rather than under the federal HUD program. It has no permanent chassis, sits on a permanent foundation (crawl space or basement), and appraises and finances like a stick-built home, including conventional, FHA and VA mortgages.

It is delivered in two sections of about 14 feet each and set by crane on the foundation your contractor prepares. Modular is the answer where local zoning excludes HUD-code homes, or where you want the home to be treated as real estate from day one.

Built in Topeka, Indiana, delivered from Auburn

Champion builds the Bayfield at its Topeka, Indiana plant, about 30 miles up the road from our Auburn showroom. Build time is typically 6–8 weeks, and most buyers are moved in 8–12 weeks from order once site work and permits are done. The short haul is why our freight line is lower than dealers farther from the factory.

We deliver throughout Indiana, Ohio and Michigan, and we quote the home, each option and delivery as separate line items — so you see exactly what you are paying for and nothing is bundled into a mystery number.

Why the Aspire series

Aspire, built in Topeka under Champion's Dutch brand as "Dutch Aspire", spans single-wides and multi-section homes with upgraded kitchens, primary suites and optional drywall. It is the broadest series we sell and the sweet spot for most families.

Options and finishes

Like every Champion home we sell, the Bayfield is ordered to spec. You choose exterior siding and shingle colors, cabinets and countertops, flooring and appliance packages, and on many plans an optional kitchen, bath or porch layout.
