modular homes: Articles tagged with “modular homes”

Kit homes, also known as Building Systems, consist of modular, panelized or log building components produced in a quality controlled environment. Because modular and panelized homes can be constructed in a factory while the site is being prepared, construction can often be completed within four to eight weeks.

Manufactured housing now accounts for more than one in every four new single-family homes sold each year. The modular building system uses assembly line efficiency to build a house without the structure being exposed to rigors of climate and weather. Mass buying of material, assembly line efficiency and a climate controlled atmosphere results in a superior product for less money.

Manufactured modular homes offer a cost effective alternative to conventional construction methods.

Hybrid modular buildings offer some degree of customization to modular units for less expense than designing or adapting custom plans by adding panelized or site-built extensions such as such as decks, porches, sunrooms and garages.
