Modular homes are literally built from "the inside out", ensuring tighter construction, something which cannot be duplicated
on the job site. Skilled craftsmen using only the finest machinery construct our homes in state-of-the-art factories. Building
your new home inside the factory means that it is built under climate controlled conditions. Your new home is not exposed
to the elements during construction, avoiding both weather-related delays and damage to building materials. Your home is built
on schedule, regardless of the weather.
Advantage 1 – Materials
Due to manufacturing techniques, only the highest quality lumber can be used in modular factories, resulting in a higher-quality
home. Modular construction methods also make your new home more energy efficient.
In our area we use 2x6 framing, exterior wood sheathing and higher insulation values than codes require...other builder
usually just meet code requirements as their standard.
Advantage 2 – Construction Efficiencies
Our homes are built by ProBuilt Homes or Avis America of Pennsylvania. All homes are built indoors in a
modern residential home building facility. Your home is never subjected to rain, wind, or intense heat. Because modular homes
must be shipped to your lot and lifted onto your foundation by a crane, they must be built stronger than stick-built homes.
Advantage 3 – Inspection
Modular homes are inspected numerous times during the construction process and must meet both state and local building
codes.
Advantage 4 –Customization
Modular homes can be customized to meet your needs both inside and out.
Advantage 5 – Time
Your new modular home can be delivered to your site in approximately four to six weeks time. Your new home is being built
in the modular factory while site work (foundation, well, septic system and other work) is completed on your lot. Since your
modular home arrives 70-90% complete depending upon design, your new home can be ready to move into months after delivery.
Compare this with the time involved to build a house on-site!
Advantage 6 – Cost
The price of a modular home is generally less than that of a stick-built home, while constructed of better materials. The
larger the home, the more cost effficiencies are recognized. The modular manufacturer is able to reduce costs by purchasing
materials in large quantities at substantial savings and by employing a skilled workforce year-round. Manufacturers also are
able to achieve "economies of scale" by producing hundreds of homes each year.
