About Habicon & Our Heritage

Habicon has over a century of homebuilding heritage, beginning with Rulan, our "Greatest Great Grandfather," who pioneered factory-built wall and floor sections in Murray, Utah nearly 100 years ago. This legacy was carried forward by Jerry, who led Cottage Homes for more than 40 years. Today, Habicon combines this time-tested craftsmanship with modern technology to create homes built to last for generations.

Habicon is more than a homebuilder—we're a "Strategic Ecosystem Partner" offering a complete one-stop hub for all your homebuilding needs. Unlike competitors who offer only construction services, we provide everything from lot acquisition and financing coordination to long-term maintenance and family risk management solutions.

Our tagline reflects our unique position of combining 100 years of proven craftsmanship with cutting-edge technology and modern processes. It means you get the reliability and quality of traditional building methods enhanced by today's efficiency and innovation.
