Fast Facts: Modular Homes
-
The building blocks of modular homes - individual modules - are housing componenets constructed in a controlled factory environment.
-
Individual modules are up to 90% complete and shipped from the factory to the home site. All walls, flooring, ceilings, stairs, carpeting, and even wall finish are completed in the factory before shipment.
-
Once all building materials arrive at the factory, some manufacturers can assemble modules in a single day. Typically, a two-story, 2,500 sq. ft. home can be constructed in a factory in under a week.
-
Aside from any cost savings, modular homebuyers benefit from the short assembly time of their home – reducing any amount of weather damage or home site vandalism. Over the life of the home, modular homes save money because they are incredibly efficient.
-
In 2004, 42,700 modular homes were constructed in the United States
-
From 1992-2002, modular housing production increased 48%
-
One of every ten homes built in the northeast is a modular home. That region accounted for 29% of the nation’s modular activity in 2001. The South Atlantic region was a close second with 26%, and the Great Lakes region third, accounting for 24%.

Our construction process allows us to better manage our costs. We are able to purchase construction materials in larger quantities and store them in our factory warehouse. By taking advantage of bulk buying we save the customer money on supplies. Additionally our controlled environment eliminates costly delays due to the weather, contractor delays, or other problems at the job site. 
Since the majority of the construction process takes place inside our climate controlled factory we can finish your new home on time regardless of the weather outside. Unlike conventional building techniques, your home, all of the materials that go into it and the skilled craftsmen that construct it will all be protected from the weather throughout the contruction process. 
Proper insulation can result in a lower cost of home ownership year after year. Our avaliable Advanced Insulation process uses soy based foam to eliminate air infiltration. Our construction process allows for easier identification and filling of gaps around pipes, windows, electrical outlets and doors to make sure your home will be tightly sealed and energy efficient.
