Modular Homes HQ

If you’ve always dreamed of having a vacation home by the beach, on the lake, in the mountains, where ever you like to spend your downtime, a modular home is for you. A modular home can make building your second home almost as enjoyable as spending your vacations and weekends relaxing there.

Chances are, you plan on building a second home some distance from where you reside. If so, this can make the process of building a second home stressful and difficult, as you probably will not be able to spend a great deal of time at the building site watching your investment as it is being built. A traditionally-built home can take several months to build on site; for the off-site homeowner, this means several months of being unable to keep a close eye on the process of the home construction. Furthermore, if you are some distance from the home site, this also means expensive trips to the home site to discuss change orders or other unforeseen circumstances, resulting in costly delays.

Perhaps no variety of home is more misunderstood than the modular home. Here is a list of the most common misconceptions about modular homes – the truth may shock you.

• Modular homes are the same as mobile/manufactured homes.
  The fact is, there are only two things that modular homes and mobile and/or manufactured homes have in common – they begin their careers in a factory, and they are brought by truck to the home site. Mobile/manufactured homes are completed constructed in the factory. From the floor to the roof, and everything in between, a mobile/manufactured home is built on an assembly line. A modular home, on the other hand, is built in sections in a factory, but is constructed at the home site.

Building a home will probably be the biggest investment most homeowners will ever make. For that reason, most homeowners take their time with the process, making sure that every detail is considered and every option is explored. A home is an investment that is literally built to last a lifetime, and it’s not an undertaking to rush into.

However, there are situations when housing is needed immediately, without the time or opportunity to belabor the process. Whether housing is needed due to a natural disaster, such as a flood or hurricane, fire or severe water damage, or for other reasons, such as additions to the family or relocation, there are times when the need to build a home is urgent.

Maybe you are not in the market for a new home, but are interested in building another type of structure. Modular building is not just for homes. Modular, or systems-built construction, as it is often called, can be applied to almost any building project you can imagine. If it’s bigger than a doghouse, it can probably be built modular!

If a garage is what you need, then take a look at modular garages. No matter what kind of garage you need, be it a home garage, a garage for business needs, or just a large enough garage to accommodate a number of vehicles, then there is a modular garage for you.

Green building, or construction that is environmentally responsible, is becoming increasingly popular as more and more people have become conscious of the impact that construction has on the environment, both while the structure is being built, and for years afterward.

Homeowners who wish to build a green home are to be commended for making the commitment to construction that works in harmony with the environment. However, for those in rural areas or smaller markets, finding both the materials to build a green home, and contractors who are familiar with green building techniques can be a challenge.
