What Is Modular Construction?

Modular construction is building a home in separate sections (or modules) within the controlled environment of a factory. They are built in programmed stages from flooring to finished product. Floor treatments, framing, insulation, drywall, roofing, windows, siding, cabinetry, plumbing and lighting fixtures are all installed and completed by skilled craftsmen utilizing state-of-the-art production technology. The home is the shipped 90% complete to the building site where it is assembled on a foundation. Generally only minimal site construction is required.

What Is The Difference Between A "Manufactured" And A "Modular" Home?

Manufactured homes, sometimes referred to as mobile homes or double wides, are constructed to a different building code. They are built to Housing and Urban Development (HUD) codes. Unlike conventional building codes, the manufactured houses are required to be built on a non-removable steel chassis. Our modular homes are built to the same building code required by the federal, state and local agencies, and therefore are NOT restricted by building and/or zoning regulations.

What Are The Advantages Of Building A Modular Home vs. Onsite Construction?

  1. NO cost overruns on the home or it's components from the manufacturer. Modular homes typically cost between 10 - 15% less than onsite construction.
  2. Overall building time is reduced - much of your sitework can be completed while the home is being built at the manufacturing plant.
  3. On-time delivery to your site
  4. Superior quality control including in-house inspections as well as outside 3rd party inspections
  5. Constructed to meet or exceed Federal, State, and Local building codes
  6. Homes are built by a highly skilled workforce with years of homebuilding experience performing standardized procedures with factory grade equipment.
  7. Home are built with name-brand materials like Armstrong, Delta, Certainteed, Owens Corning, General Electric, and more
  8. Environmentally conscious, highly engineered materials used in construction are stored inside and are not exposed to weather or vandalism

How Much Does Building A Modular Home Cost?

Modular homes typically cost between 10 - 15% less than onsite construction. This is because:

  • There is less wasted material, so lumber costs are lower.
  • There are never any cost overruns.
  • Overall building time is reduced, since much of your sitework can be completed while the home is being built at the manufacturing plant.

How Long Does The Building Process Take?

Once we have a building permit in hand, and the financing is secured, the average delivery time is 8 to 10 weeks, depending on the time of year and our factory building schedule. Once your home has been delivered to your site, it only takes a couple of days to assemble it on the foundation and make it weather tight. After being set on your foundation, the interior and exterior finish sitework typically take between 8 to 12 weeks, depending on the house's complexity. This includes connecting of all the utilities to the home.

Can I Use My Own Plan When Building A Modular Home

Absolutely. Our modular building system technology allows us to build virtually any style of house. Our design team will make sure that the design can be adapted to the modular building system and is structurally compliant.
