Reasons to consider building a modular home

Modular homes are homes that consist of multiple sections called modules. Usually they are constructed in a remote facility before being delivered to their intended site of use. Modular home is built indoors in a factory-like setting and later assembled in the area where the house is to be constructed.

The modular homes are built indoors. So they can be completed in few weeks, but in onsite constructions, we can see delays caused by the unfavourable weather conditions.

The importance of a modular home

1. Modular homes are budget friendly and customizable.

2. Modular homes are tighter, better inspected and regulated and better quality controlled.

3. Modular homes are easier and faster than onsite buildings.

4. Modular buildings can also use as office buildings.

5. Modular home and on-site built home taxes are same

6. Home loans are same for modular home and onsite built homes.

There are plenty of reasons to consider building a modular home. Here are some of them

1. Indoor Construction: The work is all done inside which increases work efficiency while eliminating weather.

2. Speed: Modular construction allows for the building and the site work to be completed simultaneously, cutting the overall completion schedule in half.

3. Good Pricing: The manufacturers like modular home building and allow the materials to be discounted.

4. Environmentally Friendly: There is a significant decrease of waste and site disturbance compared to site-built structures.

5. Add-ons Are Easier: It is more difficult to extend conventional buildings. With modular homes, you can simply add sections or floors.

6. Low Waste: Modular homes are particularly well thought-out and the materials are almost never ordered in excess.

7. Healthier: All the materials for a modular home are stored indoors in a controlled environment, eliminating the risk of rust, mold, mildew and sun damage that can often lead to respiratory problems.

Live Green with Modular Homes

Modular advocates believe that housing built in a factory, trucked to a building site and its modules lifted into place by a crane not only makes economic sense but it also makes environmental sense. Modular housing is inherently more sustainable than site-built housing.

Demands for modular homes are on high and it is increasing day by day. The reason for this rise in demand is the number of advantages it provides such as easy to construct, very cost effective and environment friendly. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, modular construction accounts for about five percent of all new homes built in 2010.

There is minimal wastage in modular construction facility. Unused strips of sheetrock are typically saved to reinforce the seams of walls. Lumber left over from creating wall studs and floor joists is re-cut for other purposes. The smallest pieces of wood, copper and vinyl are recycled.

Dom Santucci, the owner of Santucci Construction¹ highlights several advantages of Modular Homes, “The work is all done inside which increases work efficiency while eliminating weather. There is a significant decrease of waste and site disturbance compared to site-built structures. Modular homes are particularly well thought-out and the materials are almost never ordered in excess.” (Ref: Santucci Constructions, http://www.santucciconstruction.com/modular_homes )

Modular home builders have several other advantages when it comes to building green. Some of them are:

As modular homes are designed inside the factory, keeping the temperature and quality of the air at a stable level.
Since modular homes are so airtight, it’s important to make sure they’re properly ventilated or the air will start to get stale. This ventilation in every room is good for maintaining steady temperature and air quality throughout the home. In this way, breaking up your house into heating and cooling zones is also very easy and can save you a lot on your utilities bill each month.
Modular homes are designed to earn the Energy Star. For those homes which are not Energy Star certified, you can add energy efficient appliances, properly seal ventilation ducts, install programmable heating and cooling systems, and take many other steps to make your home as energy efficient as possible.
You can get a 30% tax credit on the cost of purchasing and installing systems that use and produce green energy. Federal tax credits are available for geothermal heating and cooling systems, wind turbines, solar water heaters, and photovoltaic (solar) panels.
