Why are Modular Homes Built Faster?
A significant benefit to building a modular home, is that your new home will be built faster than if building a conventionally constructed home – without sacrificing customization or quality. This means a quicker move in date as well as fewer costs associated with financing, temporary housing and more. Today’s post digs into why modular homes are built faster than traditional stick-built homes.
At Westchester Modular Homes Construction Corp., from permit to completion, we take four to six months versus a conventionally constructed home which takes nine to twelve months. Why is that? One of the main reasons a modular build is faster is due to the controlled environment of the factory where modular homes are constructed. The building team can work year-round, regardless of weather conditions, which eliminates weather-related delays that can occur with stick-built homes.
Additionally, since modular homes are built in a factory setting, they are not susceptible to delays due to damaged, or stolen building materials that can cause massive delays for site builders every year. Furthermore, the foundation and home can be built at the same time, which reduces the overall construction time. For a conventional home, the foundation must be constructed before the home can be built adding a significant amount of time.
Finally, mass-produced materials on an assembly line can be readily available as factories buy supplies in bulk. You do not have to rely on individual deliveries which can easily be delayed.
While our modular homes are built faster they are also highly customized. We offer a computer aided design studio where our clients can pick out finishes, fixtures and more and visualize them before purchasing. This center is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and can be accessed easily from home or office.
