Modular Home Advantages
Modular homes are a great alternative to traditional on-site new home construction. Because most of the initial service and work is done in an off-site, climate-controlled factory using an engineered approach to building, these systems built houses offer a more efficient and cost-effective method for building your dream home. After individual, custom-designed modules are created by the manufacturer, they are transported to the building site. A local builder applies the finishing touches after joining the sections together using the same methods and standards used for stick-built houses. The result is that beautiful one and two-story modular homes can be purchased at significantly lower cost per square foot.

Here Are Some Noteworthy Benefits of
Modular Home Construction
Modular Home Benefit #1
Less Site Disturbance – Homes built in a factory limit the amount of time and impact on the surrounding site. This also saves construction time. As the home is being built in the factory, the site can be prepared at the same time.
Modular Home Benefit #2
Tightly Sealed Homes – Because the homes are built in a factory there is better access around electrical outlets, fixtures, pipes and other sources of air infiltration. Having that access in a factory allows better sealing to reduce air infiltration to prevent a loss of heat when the home is complete to reduce heating and cooling costs.
Traditional two-by-four framing is often replaced with two-by-six framing in modular homes to increase the amount of insulation included in the home.
Modular Home Benefit #3
Energy Star – Because of their design, your home could be Energy Star Certified. Many manufactures are now designing their house in order to earn the blue Energy Star.

The program provides information on the energy consumption of products and devices using different standardized methods.
