Why Build Modular?

Better Quality, Faster Completion Time, and Less Expensive!

Modular homes are constructed in a climate controlled environment with workers who do specific jobs and are very good at what they do. In a factory, there are no weather delays, weather related damage, or compromising quality due to water. The amount of energy that gets saved because workers are not travelling to and from a site during a lengthy construction phase of over a year is staggering. In addition, there is less waste on a construction site; typically dumpster usage is about 90% reduced.

Better Quality:

Modular homes typically are made with about 30% more materials than a traditionally built home. A study after a recent hurricane series in Florida found that modular homes sustained substantially less damage than traditionally built homes.

Homes are built in a factory on floors leveled by a laser. Modules are built in jigs insuring they are built flush and fully rectangular. Factories use kiln-dried pine minimizing twisting and shrinking as opposed to green wood used in traditionally built homes.

Faster Completion Time:

Since homes are built in a supervised facility, there is no need to fret about possible weather related tardiness. If it is raining, if there is heavy snow, or it is extremely hot or cold, your house can still be built as planned and on time.

Since traditional builders need to work in a sequential manner: foundation, framing, trades etc.,  Modular builders can work sequentially while the foundation is being excavated and poured.

Hence, a modular home can be done much quicker than a traditionally built home.
