Modular homes are a popular alternative to traditional site-built construction. The design and construction process of these homes offers numerous benefits.
Modular homes are often confused with sectional-designed manufactured homes. To narrow this down, we consider the application. If your home is going on a rented lot or would be set on piers, you would choose a manufactured home. Modular homes are only set on real estate and designed to be set on a permanent foundation, whether a basement or crawlspace.
Unlike traditional home construction, modular homes are built in a controlled factory setting. They are constructed in smaller sections that can be transported to the building site for assembly. Modular homes are held to the same building codes as site-built construction.
Modular construction delivers more than building to the same code as site-built construction. Quality control, efficiency, and training are important in delivering a high-quality home to our buyers.
Modular homes are built with the same insulation values as site-built constructions. All sides of the homes are sheeted, minimizing air leakage and lowering heat transfer. That means the climate inside your home will stay more consistent all year.
The efficient construction style of modular homes cuts down on excess material waste and excess time spent on a construction site. The homes are fitted with the newest Low-E windows, LED lighting, and new energy-conserving appliances.
When you choose a modular home, you also receive a one-year warranty that protects you from unexpected repairs in the first year. The high-efficiency furnaces will save you money for years to come by reducing energy consumption and lowering utility bills.
