What is Modular Construction?
A modular home is simply one that is built indoors, in a factory, to the same building codes as a stick built (also called site built) home. The efficient and precise factory construction methods elevate the home building process to a higher standard.
Modular homes are built on an assembly line by skilled carpenters, plumbers, and electricians. The skills of these men and women are enhanced by the ideal work environment and state-of-the-art equipment. A factory environment helps organize and streamline the construction process and protects building materials that should not be exposed to the outdoor elements. At the end of the assembly line, the house sections are weather protected, loaded on a truck and driven to the building site. A crane sets the sections in place and skilled tradesmen efficiently complete the finishing touches.
With the use of Computer Aided Design (CAD), modular homes are now available in all styles from traditional to modern and everything in between. Finishing choices include all the popular amenities like solid-surface countertops, hardwood floors and tile showers.
Modular is a method of building...not a type of home. The method offers higher construction standards, time and budget savings, plus design flexibility.
