Rather than being built piece-by-piece on a home site, a more traditional type of building, the main components of a modular home (called “modules”) are built by skilled craftsman in a climate-controlled factory. Each module is built on an assembly line, using machinery built specifically for the task and unique to modular factories. By the time your new homes’ components reach the “end of the line,” they are complete with square walls, floors and ceilings in place, as well as interior fixtures including stairs, carpets, doors, electrical wiring and plumbing fixtures. That’s why a growing portion of the home building industry is catching on to modular construction technology. Once a small market niche known for turning out efficient but simple new homes, modular construction is moving, literally, outside the box. In fact, we defy you to distinguish a modular home from a “stick-built” home just by looking from the curb. What’s So Remarkable About Modular? Beauty. Computer software programs commonly used by builders and architects allow any home plan to be constructed with modules, and intricate designs or features can always be added on site. If you can dream it, modular can built it.

Speed. From first contact with your modular builder, you can be in your new home in just a few months. Once your home starts assembly in the factory, in can be shipped to your home site in a few weeks and set weather-tight in as little as one day. Depending on the amount of custom finish work required, you could be in a new modular home in 12 to 16 weeks. Cost & Quality. Modular construction helps reduce cost overruns by purchasing building materials in larger quantities than most builders, cushioning consumers from sudden spikes in material prices. Additionally, modular home construction eases the need for too much reliability on subcontractors, streamlining the home building process. And one of the greatest benefits of modular technology is that construction can take place in almost any weather. |
