Modular housing is has become one of the fastest growing sectors of the construction industry. Looking to avoid untimely weather delays, quality control problems, fluctuating and unpredictable material costs, and skilled labor shortages, more and more home-builders and developers are turning to factory-built construction to expand their market and get a head-start on their competition.
Today’s modular housing is better than ever. On-time and volume purchasing enables manufacturers to provide the consumer with amenity-filled homes at a reduced cost. Design flexibility allows for modular construction to be used for a range of housing types, including both single and multi-family uses. Using modular housing also drastically reduces the development cycle time, and building homes in a quality-controlled factory environment with a reliable workforce enables the delivery of homes year round!

Benefits

  • All aspects of the construction process are controlled.
  • The weather doesn’t interfere with construction and cause delays.
  • Inventory is better controlled and materials are protected from theft and weather-related damage.
  • All technicians, craftsmen and assemblers are on the same team and professionally supervised.
  • All construction materials, as well as interior features and appliances are purchased in volume for additional savings.
  • Cost of interim construction financing is significantly reduced or eliminated.
  • Modular homes are financed using conventional mortgage products
  • Modular homes are built on a permanent foundation and are viewed exactly the same as site-built homes in local construction codes and zoning laws.
  • All aspects of construction are continually inspected by not one, but several, inspectors.
  • Modular homes come with all the features that you would expect in a site-built home. Once completed modular homes are virtually indistinguishable from site built homes.
Construction cost stability:Factory-built houses come at a guaranteed price, without cost overruns resulting from labor or material shortages.

Weather resistant construction: A site-built house open to the rain can cause the wood to warp or swell, problems the homeowner will never get rid of in a lifetime of ownership. Modular houses are built in controlled environments under the factory roof and are shipped in weather-proofed wrapping. There is no opportunity for mold to take hold during the building process.

Turnaround: On the average, a home consisting of two sections will be built in the factory within a couple of weeks. Once the home is placed on its foundation, final completion takes weeks not months. This schedule allows the homeowner to move more quickly and keeps construction interest to a minimum.

Lower home ownership costs: Modular homes are built in a modern controlled environment using high quality materials. They are precision engineered for a lifetime of trouble-free structural durability. A well-built modular house is a home that is easier and less costly to maintain.

Greater energy efficiency: Additional factory insulation and precision building techniques make the modular house a super efficient energy conservation home. And of course this cost saving lasts every year the homeowner is in the house

Mortgages are easily obtained: Modular homes are becoming more popular and there are an increasing number of financial institutions eager to write new loans.

Resale value: From the outside the home might look just like a normal house, but even after many years, quality shows through. Modular homes are precision built at the factory and they're built to last. The home requires less maintenance and energy bills are lower than site built homes. These factors tend to boost resale value when compared with a similar site built house.
