Some people are simply stuck in their methods and it doesn’t matter whether or not better things come along – they’re happily oblivious.

Builders who build stick-built homes are in this category. This has been the way to build homes since, well, since homes were built! And you probably won’t see them changing their ways any time soon. Here are 5 things they won’t tell you (probably because they just don’t know).

1.    Stick built homes cost more to build than custom modular homes. This is because there is plenty of waste, there are delays due to weather, and one team has to wait for another to finish before they can start on their part of the house.

2.    Stick built homes are not affordably customized. This is because builders develop a handful of floorplans and build those. And if consumers want diversity, they pay for it.

3.    Stick built homes take longer to build. This is because the crew is dependent on the weather and the availability of supplies and inspectors.

4.    Stick built homes have a greater impact on the environment. This is because there are plenty of wasted materials when building, and diesel-powered machinery is often running for the months of production.

5.    Stick built homes are more expensive to live in. This is because they are less efficient to heat and cool, and they usually only come with a 1 year warranty.

Custom modular homes have none of these problems.
