The modular
housing system is a fast-growing modern form of construction
gaining a growing recognition of its increased efficiency
and ability to apply modern technology to the needs of the
market place.
Because modular homes are built in factories, you benefit
from the assembly line production process. Labor is used with
maximum efficiency, with skilled craftsman moving between
workstations on the factory floor. Superior quality control,
reduced waste, and faster completion (30-90 days versus 4-9
months for site-built construction) are primary benefits.
The factories buy huge quantities of lumber, sheet rock, carpet,
paint, and other building supplies. Therefore, they pay much
less for each, and these savings are passed on to you.
When you add up all the labor, material and time savings inherent
in the modular home building process, you will find that the
price of your home is generally lower than a traditionally
built home of comparable size.
The increased efficiency of construction results in greater
value for the homeowner. Work is never delayed by weather,
subcontractor no-shows, or missing material. Harmful weather
never touches the inside of your home.
The combination of reduced cycle time, more efficient construction,
unlimited customization, and a growing shortage of skilled
trades are the primary reason many builders and home buyers
are switching from traditional site-building to systems building.
