Quality, Expediency, Savings
There are many reasons for "going modular". Homeowners have found the process to be a less stressful,
more enjoyable alternative to traditional building. Locating land, securing financing and customizing
your home is exactly the same process when building modular as it is with a stick-built home. The
greatest reasons for going modular are in the quality of the home, the expediency in which your home
is completed and the enormous savings.
Quality -
Modular homes are constructed in a factory controlled environment. This insures that materials used
are weather protected, never exposed to potentially damaging elements like rain, snow or extreme
heat. Further, there is no opportunity for on-site damage due to vandalism or materials being
damaged during transport. Ninety percent of a modular home is completed prior to it being shipped
to it's location.
Prior to transporting, framing, insulation, roofing, and electrical work is completed by skilled
professionals in their respective fields. Step-by step inspections are done at each stage insuring
that local building codes are not only met but often exceeded.
Expediency -
Because modular homes are built in factories by professionals, actual construction time is drastically
reduced. Weather, work crew mix-ups, and material mishaps that can result in in extended building
time and even cost over runs are virtually eliminated.
Construction that can take as long as 12 months in traditional built homes is usually completed
in 4-6 weeks when building modular. Once the home is transported and assembled on it's foundation,
minimal finish work usually takes and additional 90 days. The end result being less building time
and a quicker entrance into your home.
Savings -
Overall quality and expediency results in tremendous savings. Reducing building time by concurrent
site work and home construction allows for reduced interest on construction financing. Additionally
the predictability of the construction schedule can further your savings.
When comparing modular homes to a stick built home of similar size, saving of 5% - 25% per square
for can be realized.
Modular homes can be customized to your specifications, look no different than traditionally built
homes and are energy-efficient. Contact LB Modular today to learn even more about modular building.
