Questions
What's the difference between modular homes and mobile homes?
Modular homes are built to the same building codes as site-built homes using traditional materials. They are transported in sections and assembled on permanent foundations, unlike mobile homes which have different construction standards and transportation requirements.
How do your buildings withstand hurricane-force winds?
Our structures are engineered to withstand winds up to 180 mph with reinforced framing, enhanced roof systems, and impact-resistant windows. This construction has proven effective in Category 4 hurricane conditions like those experienced during Hurricane Andrew.
Can I customize my modular home design?
Yes, we offer extensive customization options including floor plan modifications, material selections, and special features. Our design team works with clients to create personalized solutions that meet specific needs and aesthetic preferences.
How long does modular construction take compared to traditional building?
Modular construction typically takes 50% less time than conventional methods since site preparation and building construction occur simultaneously in our controlled manufacturing environment.
What materials do you use in construction?
We use premium building materials including plywood sheathing, yellow pine lumber, and impact-resistant windows. Our construction methods incorporate standard components like those used in conventional building while adding reinforcement for transportation requirements.
