What’s Included in Our Standard Spec for RTM Homes in Regina & Saskatoon


📌 Key Takeaways

Understanding what you're actually buying—and what you're responsible for—prevents costly surprises and keeps your RTM project on track.

  • Transparency Starts With the Spec Sheet: STAR's online specifications document clearly outlines what's included in your home purchase and what falls under homeowner responsibility.

  • Structure-First Philosophy: STAR delivers a precision-built home structure, not a turnkey property—foundation work, utilities, and transport coordination remain your responsibility.

  • Vetted Mover Access: While STAR doesn't arrange transportation, they provide a curated list of reliable movers experienced with their homes, streamlining your coordination process.

  • Local Contractor Coordination Required: Homeowners must engage local contractors for foundation construction and utility hookups, making early planning essential.


STAR handles construction excellence; you handle site logistics—this division of labour ensures expert execution at every stage.

First-time RTM buyers in Manitoba and Saskatchewan will gain clarity here, preparing them for the detailed planning steps that follow.

When you start exploring homeownership options, understanding exactly what you're getting for your investment is crucial. This is especially true for ready to move homes, a popular choice for their convenience and quality. At STAR, we believe in transparency, so let’s walk through where to find, and how to understand, our spec sheet.

The STAR Advantage

Our process focuses on constructing a high-quality home structure, ready for its next steps. Every STAR home is built with precision and care, ensuring it meets our high standards before it leaves our site.

It is important to understand the homeowner’s role in the process. When you purchase one of our ready to move homes, you are buying the structure. You will be responsible for arranging several key services. This includes working with local contractors to build the foundation, setting up utilities like water and electricity, and organizing transportation. While we do not arrange transportation directly, we are happy to provide a list of reliable movers who are experienced with our homes. You can then coordinate with them directly for quoting, permits, and moving the home to its final destination.

By focusing on what we do best, building exceptional homes, we ensure you receive a product built with expertise and integrity.
