Modular Home Construction
A modular home represents both cutting-edge technology and quicker build-times for today’s home buyer. Modular homes are assembled in a controlled environment where they are out of the weather and have increasing build quality and efficiency. Factories purchase materials and supplies at huge discounts and pass on these savings to the modular home buyer. The controlled build environment combined with the ability for tight quality control produces a bonus for modular home buyers and that’s superior quality.
While under construction in the factory the modular components undergo stringent quality control inspections at each stage of the process and receive code compliance inspections and certification prior to leaving the factory. The modular sections are then transported to your home site where they are assembled and closed in, usually in one or two days, protecting the new modular homes from the hazardous elements.
