What is a Modular Home?
Modular homes offer consumers quality construction methods that take advantage of modern technology. Contrary to a conventionally-built home, which is assembled on the home site, piece by piece and exposed to the elements throughout the entire construction process, modular homes are constructed in segments (called "modules") in a climate-controlled factory by skilled craftsmen using precise machinery and methods.
Before a modular home leaves a factory, it is inspected by an independent third-party agency to ensure it meets your state building codes. Built to withstand the rigors of ground transportation and being lifted into place by a crane, many modular homes are typically built to stronger standards than conventional homes. For example, most modular homes are built with more framing materials and utilize multiple engineered methods to fasten these materials.
Once the main modules of your new home are constructed in the factory, complete with attached walls, floor, ceiling, wiring, plumbing, and interior fixtures, they are transported to your home site and placed on a permanent foundation by a crane. Depending on the size of your new home, it could be fully set on-site and weather tight in as little as one day.
Being constructed in a climate-controlled environment ensures that your new modular home will have consistent, level floors, square frames, and virtually no margin of error in finishings and trims.
