Advantages In Controlled Environment Construction (CEC)
Controlled Environment Construction Means Consistent Quality
Due to carefully controlled building conditions, modular construction ensures consistently high quality. Modular home components are never subjected to inclement weather, modular construction is never affected by poor subcontractor performance, and every stage of production is carefully monitored. In addition, a thorough quality control process provides 100% assurance that your modular home has been inspected for code compliance and workmanship. (In-house inspectors as well as independent inspection agencies will inspect your modular home on behalf of your state and local government).
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 insure a safe and secure trip to your property, modular homes are built especially well, using high quality materials. For example, there is typically 20% to 30% more lumber used in framing your home and most factories GLUE as well as nail or screw the components of the home together.
Peace Of Mind
Buying a modular home gives you peace of mind - you won't have to worry about:
"I need more money"
The home owner's worst nightmare - the job's half finished and your builder tells you he's way over budget and needs more money or else he'll quit. 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. You don't want an unfinished house slowly rolling away in the rain. When you buy modular, you get your finished house product ready for 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 raincan cause your wood to warp or swell, problems you'll never get rid of in a lifetime of ownership. Modular houses are built in controlled environments under the factory roof and are shipped in weather-proofed wrapping. Mold and mold spore allergies are never an issue with modular construction!
The unexpected uninspected 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 factories. A quality control process provides 100% assurance that your home has been inspected for code compliance and workmanship. In-plant inspectors as well as independent inspection agencies inspect the home on behalf of your state and local governments.
Speedy Turnaround
On the average, a home consisting of two sections will be built in the factory within a couple of weeks. Once your home is placed on your foundation , final completion takes two or three weeks. This schedule allows you to move more quickly, and knowing when your new home will be ready helps you plan your move better.
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
Additional factory installation and precision building techniques make the modular house a super efficient engery conservation home. And of course this cost saving lasts every year you're living in the house. And it helps your resale value too!
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 lower than your neighbors. When you come to sell your home, you'll be glad it's a modular.
