Look as good or better than similar homes built
April 5th, 2010
The frame work of today’s modular home matches or exceeds site-built or panelized houses as modular homes are engineered for safe use in each specific geographic region where they are sold. Modular construction may be the safest method on the market as strict adherence to all applicable building codes is enforced through required state inspections.
There are endless examples of factory-built Hawaii Modular Homes that have been in continuous use for 50, 60 and 70 years. One example would be module houses built 50 years ago in the mid west by National homes. These homes ranged in cost from $7,000 to $9,000 complete. These same homes are still in use today and their value has increased ten-fold. Today, over 90% of all factory-built houses are customized to meet the buyer’s needs. They look as good or better than similar homes built on-site. Some manufacturers are producing spectacular mansions in excess of 10,000 sq. ft. Modular units are routinely stacked to reflect all types of architectural style from a New England Salt Box to an Ante Belle mansion. Modular units can be finished with stucco exteriors, tile roofs and other exterior design features making them indistinguishable from built on-site projects.
