There are several steps from the time the you decide to purchase a modular home from the time it finally arrives on your lot. The first step is architectural design which is followed by modular production where the house is constructed. Once completed sections or modules of the home are ready, they are sealed and loaded onto to trucks that will transport them to their destination. Modules are then joined together one by one at the site.
Design is always the first step in any construction project. With new homes being designed all the time, browse our list of currently available modular homes, online!
Although modular homes are built to conform to all state, local or regional building codes at their destinations, they also conform to a federal code regardless of where they will be delivered. That national housing code is known as the HUD code for the UD Department of Housing and Urban Development. A well-built modular home should have the same longevity as its site-built counterpart, increasing in value over time.
Modular homes are built in pre fabricated sections at an off-site climate controlled factory setting, indoors; where workers produce year round and adverse weather conditions never affect business. The modules move through several stations in the factory where they are checked at every step for quality control.
Completed sections are covered for protection from the elements and then transported to your home building site on large truck beds. Modules are often joined on a pre-made foundation and assembled at the building site by huge cranes. This is especially true for those that are multi-level modular homes. This placement usually takes several hours but once complete, the home is indistinguishable from a traditional stick-build home. The structure is usually inspected at this point and finishing work is completed.
