Modular Home, Factory Direct Manufactured Homes, Wholesale manufactured homes to the Public AZ, CA, NV, NM, UT.

A modular home is highly engineered. It is constructed in sections and put together by a builder on your building site. Modular homes are designed, engineered and built in a factory-controlled environment.

The building process begins at the design phase. Most modular producers use state-of-the-art computer aided design programs, which aid them in customizing floor plans and producing drawings and material requirement lists. Once designed, the building process begins. This process is similar to what you've seen during the construction of site built homes. The quality materials and care detail and the same building codes and standards are observed. Today's modular homes are models of efficiency and quality assurance.

Speed and consistent quality are two of the many advantages for choosing modular housing. On the average, a home consisting of two sections will be built in the factory within a couple of weeks. Once the manufacturing process is complete, typically with interior finish right down to carpets and wall finish, the unit must be transported to a home site and placed on a pre-made foundation. Final completion is usually handled by a local builder or general contractor and includes connection of utilities to the home, and a short list of finish work. Normally the home is completed in two or three weeks.

Manufactured homes constructed to a different building code. This code, the "Federal Construction Safety Standards" (HUD/CODE), unlike conventional building codes, requires manufactured homes to be constructed on a non-removable steel frame. Some communities have restrictions on where manufactured homes can be located.

True Modular Homes are constructed on a flat Steel removable trailer at the factory then transported to the construction site. The Modular Home is then removed usualy by Crain or Helicopter and placed on a foundation. Modular Homes are constructed to the building code required by your state, county and specific locality and therefore are usualy not restricted by building or zoning regulations. A new modular home is inspected at the assembly plant during each phase of construction. Evidence of this inspection is shown by the application of a State or inspection agency label of approval. If you are in the market for a Modular Home you must be aware that some builders manufacture "On-Frame" Homes using the same building codes and inspections as a True "Off-Frame" Modular Homes, these homes are not True Modular Homes. Even though they bear the same label of approval as a true Modular Home these homes can not be removed from their steel chasis making on-frame modular homes suseptable to the same restrictions as a manufactured home regarding placement within a community.

Modular homes look like any site built home. Today's building technology has allowed modular manufacturers to build most any style of home from a simple ranch to a highly customized contemporary. And, it doesn't stop with houses. Modular producers are busy building banks, schools, office buildings, motels and hotels. Chances are you've been in many modular structures and probably never realized it.

Yes. Most modular companies allow the customer complete design flexibility. But remember, every manufacturer is different. Engineering capabilities and product specifications will vary from company to company.

The decision is clear. With a modular home you get efficiency and quality control. Efficiency begins with modern factory assembly line techniques. Your home travels to workstations, with all the building trades represented. Work is never delayed by weather, subcontractor no-shows or missing material. Quality engineering and modular construction techniques significantly increase the energy efficiency of your modular home. A quality control process provides 100% assurance that your home has been inspected for code compliance and workmanship. In-plant inspectors as well as independent inspection agencies inspect the home on behalf of your state and local government.

There is no distinction between modular and site built homes as far as appraisal or financing. Banks and lending institutions treat both types of construction the same. Likewise, there is no difference in insuring the modular property.

When you add up all the labor, material and time savings inherent in the modular building process, you will find that the price of a modular home is generally lower than a site built home of comparable size. Plus you will keep saving money year after year as your energy efficient home keeps your heating and cooling bills low.
