Why We Recommend Modular
In our experience from years in the construction industry, the modular building systems consistantly produce homes of a higher quality.
Modular Construction
Modular homes are built on a production line with experienced craftsmen in a controlled environment. The advantages of this are numerous. For instance, the manufacturer purchases material in bulk which is a huge cost saving, but the material is then stored in protected environments out of the damaging effects of weather and vandalism, reducing waste.
Production
Production employees work the same station, sometimes for years, making them proficient in the process. This increases productivity, reduces errors, and makes a better quality output. Materials are stored in a convient location to the work being done, while bulk materials can be delivered via forklift. Overhead lifts move large pieces into place or from station to station. This saves time and reduces repetitive injury from lifting heavy materials.
Delivery
The construction of the house involves commercial grade adhesives to secure wallboards, floor decking, and ceiling boards. Screws are typically more common than nails due to their superior holding power. This ensues that your home can be transported largely complete and arrive intact. The structural integritiy that allows the home to travel from the factory to the home site at highway speeds remains with the home throughout it’s lifetime; a huge benefit to any homeowner.
Conclusion
Having worked with modular home manufacturers for over 50 years, their high quality and build integrity becomes apparent. In fact after Hurricane Andrew hit south Florida, FEMA studies found that modular homes outperformed both manufatured and site-built homes. Modular homes continue to increase in popularity world-wide.
While the evidence shows that a modular home purchase is generally a wise choice, the old adage of “buyer beware” is unfortunately still necessary. A home purchase is a huge investment, one that you will have to live with for years. You owe it to yourself to be well informed prior to putting your money on the line. We are well aware of the players in the game of modular housing and can expertly guide you through the process of selecting the best company with the highest quality, choosing a model that fits your lifestyle, and then installing your new home on your property.
