Modular Home Construction Is Quicker Than A Site Home
By James R Blunt
Modular home construction can prove to be better for many reasons,
when compared to site built homes. Since the 1920s, the modular
home business has been enjoying great popularity and one reason
for that is because the process does not take very long.
So, if one is looking for a new home, then a customized modular
dwelling may just be the answer. Knowing more information about
how the modular home is constructed, can help a person decide
if this is the right choice for them.
Factory Built Homes
One of the first things about modular home construction that
should be understood, is knowing exactly how these homes are built.
They are in fact factory built homes, which means they are built
indoors and are never subjected to any type of weather conditions
what-so-ever. The foundations, however, are laid on-site by a
local builder.
The homes are assembled via an assembly line, and each piece
is thoroughly checked over and over to ensure that all codes and
standards are up to date. The finished products are then completely
covered and transported to the home site, to be put together piece
by piece.
This construction method ensures that the modular home is not
subjected to any conditions that may warp beams and consequently
destroy the frame in years to come, unlike conventional site built
homes.
Modular Home Construction Time Is Much Quicker
Another plus of modular homes is that the turn around time is
minimal, compared to a site built home. Because these home are
made in an assembly factory, they can be made very quickly. Depending
on the floor plan chosen, one can expect to have their home completed,
in the factory, in as little as one to two weeks.
The actual full completion usually takes another two to four
weeks, allowing for the local builder to construct it on the ready
made foundation. Since there is never a weather delay in the factory,
an individual can rest assured that their new modular home will
be ready on the date that the modular home builder said it would
be.
A Modular Home Is Sturdy And Safe Against Almost Anything
With modular home construction, a person can rest easy that their
home will be sturdy and will be able to withstand almost anything.
Even though these are factory built homes, they still come with
all the conveniences of a traditional dwelling.
The building process of a modular home ensures that everything
is inspected over and over, unlike a site built home which is
only inspected once. Modular homes has proven to be innovative
and safe. New homeowners of modular homes are just like anyone
else, in that they cannot wait until they are settled into their
new abode.

Little Known Modular Homes Facts....
What is the difference between a modular home and a mobile home?
Both are built in factories and then brought
out to your land. A mobile, or manufactured, home is transported
on wheels which can be left on or off when it reaches your building
site.
A modular home is transported in section
on large flatbed trucks. It is never mobile and is assembled once
it reaches your land and foundation. That is another difference.
A modular home must be placed on a concrete foundation in order
to be built.
