MODULAR LIVING IN THE 21st CENTURY

“Modular building offers a technological advantage to construction”

Modular building is not a new concept, and has existed in the United States for almost two (2) centuries. What was once only envisioned for a single family home, has evolved to building multi unit modular apartment structures, commercial properties, dormitories, churches, cottages, cabins, and ADU’s. Design, customization, time, sustainability, weather, fire resistant, eco-friendly, and lower cost, are all benefits of today’s modular construction. Modular building offers a technological advantage to construction that will continue to expand and grow in the building industry for years to come.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Modular Home?

A Modular home is a home constructed in a factory, and built in sections or modules which are then transported to the build site, where they are assembled and set on a permanent foundation onsite. Modular homes are built to state and local building codes, the same as a traditional site built home.

How long does it take to build a Modular home?

The time it takes to build a Modular home is considerably less than a traditional site built home. The time frame can be 3-4 months to complete construction. Factory construction and site development can be done concurrently, which also is a benefit to the modular process.

Are costs for building a Modular home the same as a site built home?

Costs for a modular home are traditionally less than a site built home. As well, the speed of construction, environmental factors, and energy efficiency are all benefits to modular building. Material, labor, and time for construction, can be contributing factors to less costs in building a modular home.

Can Modular homes be built fire resistant?

Especially in today’s environment a modular home can be built to be highly fire resistant, through material selection, utilizing steel, concrete, fiber cement siding, and fire retardant insulation in the home.

Is there a difference between a Modular home and a manufactured home?

Modular homes are built in the factory under a controlled environment. They are built and transported to the site in sections and modules, and set in a permanent foundation. A modular home like a site built home is considered “real property.“ Modular homes are constructed under the same safety and construction standards as a site built home, and thus governed by state and local building codes.

A manufactured home formerly known as a “mobile” home until 1976, is also built in a factory. However, a manufactured home is built on a chassis according to Federal (Dept. of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) guidelines, and is typically not built on a permanent foundation. A manufactured home unlike a modular home is considered “personal property.”

Are floor plans available for Modular home buyers to see?

There are state approved floor plans a home buyer can see and review. As well, customizations and modifications are possible to the floor plans, finishes, and other amenities, but may include additional costs.

Can you finance a Modular home?

Modular homes can be financed through traditional lenders, just as site built homes are financed through conventional, FHA, or VA loans.
