Vermont Business Magazine Responding to the persistent and unprecedented housing shortage throughout New England, and recognizing the need for growth and diversity, the Brushwood Home Manufacturing Company recently launched a line of high-performance, panelized modular homes designed for rapid deployment. 

Born from Alger Brook Design Build’s reputation of custom home excellence in Vermont and New Hampshire, the Brushwood Home Manufacturing Company transforms high-performance homebuilding through innovative panel construction. 

“We make well designed, high performance, net-zero ready, homes attainable, combining proven construction methods with straightforward pricing and simplified processes,” says Sam Newman, the founder of Brushwood Home Manufacturing Company and Alger Brook Design Build. 

Based in Thetford Center, Vermont, Brushwood Homes currently offers three pre-designed home models, each one featuring meticulously selected fixtures and finishes, superior insulation, and advanced mechanical systems. Every all-electric Brushwood Home is designed to maximize both comfort and energy efficiency, and eliminate the complexity of home construction and ownership. 

The unambiguous process is designed to eliminate decision fatigue while delivering a comfortable, practical, durable home in less time than conventional construction. With transparent, fixed pricing and predictable timelines customers will know their costs and move-in date from the start. 

Brushwood Homes are the Goldilocks of modular homes— minus Papa Bear’s oversized McMansion. We offer three home sizes (small, medium and large) that make every square foot count. 

“While others are building houses big enough to get lost in, we’re keeping it real with homes that are attractive, attainable, practical, and won’t require a second job just to heat the guest room you use twice a year,” says Newman.

By optimizing every step—from land selection through move-in day—Brushwood delivers exceptional value without compromise. The in-house design-build team has carefully pre-selected materials, finishes, and features that combine lasting value with energy efficiency, so the customer can focus on what really matters rather than countless small decisions. This refined approach means clients get more than a house; they get a thoughtfully crafted home that exceeds expectations in performance, longevity, and livability. 

Instead of on-site improvisation, Brushwood builds wall, roof and floor panels in a climate-controlled panel manufacturing facility, then carefully assembles them at your location. This approach helps achieve a level of precision that surpasses traditional construction and delivers exceptional homes faster than traditional custom building. 

A Brushwood home is typically “dried-in” in a matter of days. The result is a range of living spaces that are healthy, comfortable and climate-resilient—protected by quality that lasts, with significantly less maintenance than conventional homes. 

Prices for move-in ready Brushwood Home Models range from $359,800 to $647,500. That includes basic site work and utility hookups, but does not include tree clearing, driveway, well drilling, or septic system. A dedicated team of Brushwood carpenters can deliver and finish the home, however the company is also interested in partnering with general contractors and developers.
