What are Modular Homes?
By Jeffrey Meie

A modular home is a home that is built in sections at a factory or plant and then is later delivered to a construction site where it is pieced together on location. Modular homes are prepared in an assembly line fashion and are then transported when completed. Pros and Cons

One of the pros of buying modular homes is the process of prefabrication and indoor construction. Many manufacturers claim that these homes are built to be stronger than traditionally-constructed homes – initially, at least. The second con is the financing issues that the home can present. Because these homes are still new on the home lending scene, many lenders are apprehensive about financing them; and if they do decide to finance one it will be for much less money than the traditional, on-site home. One issue that on-site constructors do not have to contend with is the idea of driving a large home through narrow streets; but a modular home builder does. Should I Buy a Modular Home?

Modular homes have become a nice alternative to people who are interested in paying less for a nice home.

Factory Built Homes are the Future of Home Building America invented factory fabrication. Given the economic benefit and quality of product associated with factory-built homes, on-site home construction can’t last; factory home building can’t miss.

Factory Built Home Materials are Green and High Quality Whether we’re talking about factory built homes, panelized or modular homes, in-plant construction quality is invariably superior to that built on site. The quality factory built home manufacturer does not use green lumber.

Modular Homes are Stronger than Conventional (Stick-Built) Homes The modular home unit uses the strongest of all construction methods based on the 2×6 platform framing system. Traditionally, modular home units are over-built providing rigidity during transport to the site.

Modular homes are built in factories benefiting from the assembly line production process. The Highest Quality Modular homes are built in a modern, climate controlled environment.

Modular homes are thoroughly inspected before they leave the factory. Modular homes are built in a modern controlled environment using high quality materials. Modular homes are precision built at the factory and they’re built to last. Other things being equal (primarily location), factory-built homes appreciate in value in lock step with site-built homes.

Modular homes are built to survive nature’s onslaught.
