Modular homes are affordable homes of the highest quality, fully customizable and built according to a stringent code that guarantees safety, energy-efficiency and environmental-sensitivity.
Modular Homes need to be built according to the HUD code. The HUD Code is a series of performance standards that address every aspect of a Modular Home; heating, plumbing, air conditioning, thermal and electrical systems, structural design, construction, fire safety, energy efficiency and even the transportation from factory to site. Inspectors ensure that all of these standards are met, along every step of the way, from design, to construction to assembly.
The goal is to ensure the highest degree of safety and construction in your home. When a Modular Home leaves the factory, it does so with a “Red Seal” attached indicating that this home has passed what is arguably the most rigorous inspection process in the housing industry.
Sustainability is increasingly becoming the trend with manufacturers today who have a vested interest in being able to offer eco-friendly and energy-efficient homes to their customers. Building a modular home can yield up to 90% less waste than a stick built home. Again, this comes back to the efficiency of factory construction. The use of Low to Zero VOC paints is better for the environment. Components like double flush toilets and low flow faucets cut on energy costs. Insulated walls mean less usage of temperature controlling devices which substantially reduces your carbon footprint. Today’s Modular Homes can be constructed with modern green practices in mind such as rainwater harvesting and grey water systems. These features serve to reduce environmental impact and contribute to the sustainability of the industry.
Technology has driven design forward and further improved the quality of Modular Homes in a streamlined, proficient way that makes this type of housing affordable, safe, custom and environmentally sustainable.
- Cost are greatly reduced – about 40% less cost than an on-site built home
- Factory built homes are built off site in a controlled manufacturing environment
- Approximately 80% – 90% of factory built construction takes place indoors where materials are protected from the elements and a
consistent workforce assembles the home in over 25 different stations - Built to strict HUD code and must pass several tests before leaving the factory
- Each home is built in sections, or modules, and then transported to the site where they are installed on permanent foundations, and completed by professional installers
- Homes have not been exposed to outside environmental elements during building process
- Homes are completely sealed before leaving the factory to ensure there is no possible water leakage
- Exact same high-quality materials used for building modular homes as on-site built homes
- New modern features and appliances
- Energy efficient to reduce monthly costs
- Eco-friendly
