In construction, the vast majority of homes are built from the ground up in piece-by-piece fashion. For example, frames are constructed one board at a time. Pieces of trim are measured and installed individually, too.
Some homes are built using prefabricated aggregations of building materials. These homes are known as modular homes. Let’s take a look at some of the benefits of modular homes.
Modular homes are constructed far more quickly than their traditional counterparts
In general, modular homes can be constructed in one-third of the time that traditional homes require to be built. The primary reason why building goes faster with modular homes is that modular building manufacturers put together building materials ahead of time.
Another reason why modular homes are constructed so quickly is that the professional building teams that are employed by modular building manufacturers have extensive experience constructing such homes.
They’re guaranteed to pass local and state building requirements
In order for a home to be signed off on to receive electricity, water, gas, and other utilities, they must meet the stringent standards and guidelines outlined by local and state governments.
Modular homes are guaranteed to be built to these government regulations. As such, you’ll spend less money on building modular homes than you will in making tons of minor modifications to traditional homes in an attempt to get approved by relevant inspectors.
Modular homes are often cheaper
Another major appeal of modular homes is that they’re cheaper than their traditional counterparts. This is because the manufacturers of modular homes are so highly skilled and experienced in crafting the same parts over, and over, and over again.
Statistics indicate that modular homes are, on average, some 15 percent cheaper than homes that are built from scratch according to tradition.
