What is a Modular Home?

Modular Homes are built to the same specifications and codes as site-built homes. Modular Homes are built in a controlled environment so there are no delays from weather, or worksite theft that tradional homes suffer. A Modular Home can be custom designed to fit your needs, and can be delivered and setup on your location faster than traditional site-built homes.

Advantages of a Modular Home over a Site-built home
You may ask yourself: "Why is a Modular Home better than a site built?" There are many answers to that question. First there is cost. A Modular Home gives you more for your money than a comparable site-built home. This is because of how a Modular Home is built.

A Modular Home is built in a "controlled environment" away from any outside site factors such as weather, vandalism etc. that may cause unforseen delays, or increase labour and material costs in the construction process. Modular Homes are built by skilled, full-time factory employees who are committed to the highest standards of workmanship.

Each phase of construction program is supervised and monitored by trained quality control inspectors to ensure that the home is completed on time, within budget, and to exact specifications. All our homes meet the stringent requirements of the Canadian Standards Association (CSA).

Why Buy a Modular Home?

The Best Value For Your Money
Modular homes are built in factories, and benefit from the assembly line production process. The factories buy huge quantities of lumber, sheet rock, carpet, paint, etc., and they pay much less for each, and can have larger quantities delivered at one time. Labour is used with maximum efficiency, with skilled craftsman moving between workstations on the factory floor. This factor of efficiency enables the cost savings to be passed along to you the customer.

The Highest Quality
Modular homes are built in a modern controlled environment, and they are precision engineered for a lifetime of trouble-free structural durability. Quality control is maintained by constant inspection throughout the construction process.

To ensure a safe and secure trip to your property, modular homes are built with extra care, and with the highest quality materials. For example, there is typically 20% to 30% more lumber used in framing your home, and our manufacturer uses GLUE in addition to nail or screw components during construction.

Peace of Mind
Buying a modular home gives you peace of mind – you wont have to worry about:

“I need more money ”
The homeowner's worst nightmare – the job is half finished and your builder tells you he's way over budget, and needs more money to complete the job. Factory-built houses come at a guaranteed price without cost overruns.

The Vanishing Builder
Everyone knows someone who's had this problem – just don't let it happen to you too. You don't want an unfinished house slowly rotting away in the rain or snow. When you buy a modular home you get your finished product ready for immediate installation.

The Pre-Soaked House
Maybe you like your jeans pre-washed, but you don't want your house to come that way! A site-built house open to the elements can cause your wood to warp, or swell. Problems you'll never get rid of in a lifetime of ownership. Modular homes are built in controlled environments under the factory roof and shipped in weatherproofed wrapping.

The unexpected, un-inspected house
Often times you don't really know what quality you're getting with a site-built house. Modular homes are thoroughly checked out before they leave the factory. A quality control process provides 100% assurance that your home has been inspected for code compliance and workmanship.

Speedy Turnaround
On the average, a home consisting of two sections will be built in the factory within a couple of months. Once your home is placed on its foundation, final completion takes two or three weeks. This schedule allows you to move more quickly, and knowing when you're new home will be ready helps you to plan you move more easily.

Lower Home Ownership Costs
Repair bills can really add up. Modular homes are built in a modern controlled environment using high quality materials. They are precision engineered for a lifetime of trouble-free structural durability. A well-built house is a home that is easier, and less costly to maintain.

Greater Energy Efficiency
With current energy prices rising almost daily, energy efficiency has become an extremely important issue to think about when buying a new home. By using additional insulation, and precision building techniques, the modular home is super energy efficient. This will enable you to save money every time the bills arrive, and add to the resale value as well.

Design Your Dream House
Modular home manufacturers have many different design plans for you to choose from. You can make modifications or even design you own house, and the factory engineers will work with your Professional Housing Consultant to bring it to a reality.

Mortgage Lenders Want Your Business
Modular homes are becoming more popular, and there are an increasing number of financial institutions eager to write new loans.

Resale Value
From the outside your home might look just like a normal house, but after all those years, quality shows through. Modular homes are precision built at the factory and they're built to last. Your home requires less maintenance, and your energy bills are less than your neighbours. When you sell your home, you'll be glad you bought a modular in the first place.

The Most Important Reason
