Modern Manufactured Homes and Manufactured Modular Homes rival conventional homes in quality, while in some ways they are even superior to homes built on site. Manufactured homes are built as strong as conventional homes. Our homes are designed to be transported hundreds of miles down the highway at up to 60 miles per hour, they are actually stronger than many homes built on site. No site-built home would survive such a journey.
In the past, manufactured homes were considered a low-end alternative to conventional site-built homes. Manufactured home offers the same high-quality materials common in site built homes. With features such as oak and ash cabinetry and trim, sky lights, whirlpool baths and fireplaces are all available from todays manufactured home builders.
Building a house in a factory has many advantages over building on the site, and these translate to lower cost and higher quality for the customer. The factory offers workers an ideal environment for the construction of the home. Their workplace is more like an automobile assembly line than a conventional construction site. Workers make the same home, or even the same wall, over and over again, and as we all know, practice makes perfect. Another key point is that homes built on the site are exposed to the elements during construction. Bare wood is exposed to the rain, and even ice and snow. Manufactured homes, on the other hand, are built indoors and the vulnerable wood is not exposed to weather. As a result of these advantages, manufactured homes offer precision found only in homes built by the best (and most expensive) on-site contractors.
One area where manufactured homes far outshine site-built homes is speed of delivery. An on-site general contractor must coordinate many subcontractors, all of whom are likely to have responsibilities at other job sites. Construction is frequently delayed, and families are forced to find other living arrangements while they wait for their new home to be completed. This is much less likely with a factory-built home delivered to the site because the builder has complete control over all the variables in his factory and will know exactly when your home will be ready to be moved to the site. Once it has arrived, setting it up is much more simple than building an entire home from scratch, and you will soon be able to move in.
Why Buy a Modular Home?
- All aspects of the construction process are controlled.
- The weather doesn't interfere with construction and cause delays. Also inventory is better controlled and materials are protected from theft and weather-related damage.
- All technicians, craftsmen and assemblers are on the same team and professionally supervised.
- All construction materials, as well as interior features and appliances are purchased in volume for additional savings.
- Cost of interim construction financing is significantly reduced or eliminated.
- Modular homes are financed using conventional mortgage products, and are viewed exactly the same as site-built homes in construction codes and zoning laws.
- All aspects of construction are continually inspected by not one, but several, inspectors.
- Modular homes come with all the features that you would find in a site-built home. Modular homes can even be custom built to your preferences using the latest in computer-assisted design.
