Why buy a modular home?
|
The best value for your
money |
| |
Modular homes are built in
factories, and benefit from the assembly line production process. The
factories buy huge quantities of lumber, sheet rock, carpet, paint, etc.,
they pay much less for each and can have large quantities delivered at one
time. Labor is used with maximum efficiency, with skilled craftsman moving
between workstations on the factory floor.
|
|
The highest quality |
| |
Modular homes are built in a
modern controlled environment, and they are precision engineered for a
lifetime of trouble-free structural durability. Quality control is
maintained by constant inspection throughout the construction process.
To insure a safe and secure trip to your property, modular homes are built
especially well, using high quality materials. For example, there is
typically 20% to 30% more lumber used in framing your home and most
factories GLUE as well as nail or screw the components of the home together.

Peace of mind |

Buying a modular home gives you
peace of mind - you won't have to worry about:
- "I need more money"
The home owner's worst nightmare - the job's half finished and your
builder tells you he's way over budget and needs more money or else he'll
quit. Factory-built houses come at a guaranteed price, without cost
overruns.
- The vanishing builder
Everyone knows someone who's had this problem - just don't let it happen
to you. You don't want an unfinished house slowly rotting away in the
rain. When you buy modular, you get your finished house product ready for
installation.
- The pre-soaked house
Maybe you like your jeans pre-washed, but you don't want your house to
come that way! A site-built house open to the rain can cause your wood to
warp or swell, problems you'll never get rid of in a lifetime of
ownership. Modular houses are built in controlled environments under the
factory roof and are shipped in weather-proofed wrapping.
- The unexpected uninspected house
Often times you don't really know what quality you're getting with a
site-built house. Modular homes are thoroughly checked out before they
leave the factories. A quality control process provides 100% assurance
that your home has been inspected for code compliance and workmanship.
In-plant inspectors as well as independent inspection agencies inspect the
home on behalf of your state & local government.

Speedy turnaround |
| |
On the average, a home
consisting of two sections will be built in the factory within a couple of
weeks. Once your home is placed on its foundation, final completion takes
two or three weeks. This schedule allows you to move more quickly, and
knowing when you're new home will be ready helps you plan your move better.

Lower home ownership
costs |
| |
Repair bills can really add up.
Modular homes are built in a modern controlled environment using high
quality materials. They are precision engineered for a lifetime of
trouble-free structural durability. A well-built house is a home that is
easier and less costly to maintain.

|
Greater energy efficiency |
| |
Additional factory insulation
and precision building techniques make the modular house a super efficient
energy conservation home. And of course this cost saving lasts every year
you're living in the house. And it helps your resale value too!

|
Design your own dream
house |
| |
Modular home manufacturers have
many different design plans for you to choose from. You can even design your
own house and the factory engineers will work with your builder to bring it
to a reality.

Mortgage lenders want
your business |
| |

popular and there are an increasing number of financial institutions eager

Resale value |
| |
From the outside your home might
look just like a normal house, but after all those years, quality shows
through. Modular homes are precision built at the factory and they're built
to last. Your home requires less maintenance and your energy bills are lower
than your neighbors. When you come to sell your home, you'll be glad it's a
modular
