Advantages of Modular
 

Which home would you rather live in?

 
 

There are a number of reasons why modular homes are the first choice of educated consumers. Modular homes are not taking a back seat to stick built homes anymore. Modular homes are built stronger, less expensive, quicker to complete, and have built-in equity. Modular homes also have the same styles, amenities, and flexible design options as any other home. Let's look at some more reasons…

 
 
 

Built in a controlled environment
Not only are there more inspections and higher quality control, our building materials are never exposed to the elements. This leaves the modular homeowner with a cleaner home, and a far lower risk for mold, mildew and pest infestation. Can a stick builder guaranty this?

 
 
 

Flexibility in design
Choose from hundreds of floor plans or let us design one just for you. You can choose from Ranch homes of two, three, four or more modules, Cape Cods with multiple dormers and Palladium windows, or Two Story homes, both traditional and modern. Chalet homes or more contemporary looking homes can also be built modular. It’s not just a square box any more. Take a look at our specs.

 

 

 

MODULAR HOME  vs.  MOBILE HOME

Modular Home

  • A home, factory constructed in a controlled environment.
  • Built with quality materials and components just like a stick built home.
  • Built equal to or exceeding your state and local building codes.
  • Inspected by factory, state, and third party inspectors to guaranty quality.
  • Built in pieces or "modules" using approximately 30% more lumber than stick built, and are connected to a foundation and to each other, to finish a one, two, or three story home with any number of modules.
  • Appreciates, appraises, and resells at the same rate as stick built homes.
  • Office buildings, garages, duplexes, condos, and townhouses can also be modular.
 
 
 

Mobile / Manufactured / HUD Home

A home, factory built on a steel frame, titled as an automobile.  These homes are built to HUD code. Mobile or Manufactured homes do not appreciate or gain value, they depreciate over time.  Sometimes referred to as a double wide or even "modular", but they are not a true modular home.
 
 
 

BENEFITS OF MODULAR

  • Modular home construction offers substantial benefits over conventional “stick-built” construction.
  • Modular homes are built similar to conventional “stick-built” homes with all the same materials, styles, amenities, and flexible design options; the primary difference is where they are built – modular homes are built in a climate controlled environment.
  • Modular construction will save you TIME because while the home is built in our factory, your general contractor simultaneously begins the site work and completes the foundation.
  • Modular construction will save you MONEY because the savings in time results in savings in interest expense from your construction loan and the cost of carrying an additional residence during the construction process.  Also, the cost of a modular home is sometimes 10 to 20 percent less than a similar “stick-built” home, reflecting the volume purchasing power of modular factories, which are able to buy materials in large quantities, at lower prices.  
  • Climate-controlled, quality-controlled, construction results in minimal weather delays.  Building materials are protected from exposure to the elements, and offer greater quality through standardized procedures and on-going factory based inspections.  “Stick-built” homes can take months to complete, often compromising the materials with wear, tear, and warping caused by exposure to wind, rain, snow, and extremes in temperature. Modular homes are generally weather- tight the day the home is set on the foundation, which allows the materials to stay dry, minimizing potential problems with mold and mildew.
  • Modular homes contain more building materials than comparable “stick-built” homes, which provides added strength for transport and the crane set.
  • Our modular homes come with a 10-year warranty on the structure, along with the standard one-year total warranty. Many of our product suppliers offer additional warranties.  Most builders of “stick-built” homes only offer a one-year total warranty.
  • Modular homes are financed & appraised the same as conventional “stick-built” homes.
