What’s the difference?
Modular homes and site-built homes are indistinguishable once built. No one will be able to walk into your home and tell that it was built with a modular construction process. This streamlined construction process, however, does offer some distinct benefits, and it does so without sacrificing any of the benefits of customization.
Lower cost of building
Modular homes are often significantly less expensive than site-built homes. This is not because they are of a lesser quality. Cost savings emerge because of how modular homes are built. Streamlined construction processes in a controlled factory environment mean lower cost all around.
Shorter construction times
Modular homes can be built much faster than site-built homes. The modular home construction process eliminates many potential delays, like inclement weather. Construction takes place off-site in climate-controlled facilities, providing predictable and manageable timelines. Inspections are conducted step-by-step at the factory so construction can continue efficiently and safely from one step to the next without delay.
Fewer hassles
Being in a climate-controlled, secure factory environment means the majority of your home’s construction is protected from common delays and annoyances like inclimate weather, late delivery of materials, or even theft or vandalism at the job site. So many major setbacks that site-built construction projects face simply are not an issue in modular home construction.
Stronger construction
The structural quality of site-built homes varies wildly. It depends fully on the kinds of subcontractors that were found for the job, the weather conditions that were present during construction, what kind of quality checks were completed along the way, and more. With modular construction, this is all highly controlled and the entire construction process is inspected step-by-step to ensure quality standards are met.
