Modular Homes

Modular homes: Not just another cookie cutter house

Factory-built homes don’t have to look the same; they can be personalized and custom-designed to be the home of your dreams. They are quick to build, high quality, and low cost. Modular homes must pass rigorous standards and inspections, and because they must be overbuilt in order to be transported, they are sturdier than a home built on-site. When you buy a factory-built home, you know exactly what you are getting before your home is built. The timing of construction and completion is also known, which makes planning the move to your new home much easier. Designed to be efficient and functional as well as beautiful, modular homes are cheaper upfront and less expensive to maintain in the long run. Factory-built homes appreciate at the same rate as comparable homes built onsite.

How Are Modular Homes Different from Manufactured Homes?

Mobile, or manufactured, homes are built to a different building code (Federal Construction Safety Standards Act) that requires them to have a non-removable steel chassis. This limits the communities where a manufactured home can be located. Modular homes, on the other hand, don’t have these restrictions. They are built to the same codes as any other house would be in your locale, and can be custom designed to have the look you want.

Why Buy A Modular Home?

There are a host of good reasons to consider buying a modular home.

Quality Materials	Modular homes are built with high quality materials. Since the building materials are stored indoors, they aren’t exposed to damaging weather during construction.
Quality Construction	Factory-constructed homes are built using the strongest construction methods (2x6 framing system), in a controlled indoor climate. Trained builders construct the homes in a comfortable environment, sheltered from the elements. Homes are inspected numerous times at different stages of the building process to ensure high quality work. In addition, modular homes are built to be extra sturdy – they have to withstand the high winds and motion of being moved on the freeway.
Built to Code	Modular homes are built to meet federal, state, and local building guidelines. The construction site is also prepared according to code regulations.
Speedy Construction	The factory construction process is streamlined and efficient. Homes are built at the same time that the foundation is prepared on site. Homes can be constructed in as little as eight weeks. The average time from placing your order to move in date is six to nine months.
Custom Design Options	Pre-designed modular homes don’t all look alike. Modular units can be assembled in any architectural style and finished with exterior design features (i.e. stucco walls, tile roofs) so that they are indistinguishable from on-site designs. Homes can also be designed from your own blueprints.
Low, Transparent Cost	Modular homes typically run less in construction costs than stick built homes. There are no surprises in cost when you buy a modular home, since the building takes place in a factory and the cost of labor and materials needed are known quantities. Unexpected costs that would raise the cost of construction are virtually eliminated. Since site preparation and construction occur at the same time, you´ll save time and money.
Easy Financing	Banks like financing factory-built homes because they have a known value and track record.
Cost Efficient	Utility bills in modular homes are typically less than stick built homes because of their superior insulation and construction.
