Why Modular?
Today's Modular Systems
Today's modular systems are models of efficiency and quality. The building process begins in the design phase. Our modular producers use state-of-the-art, computer-assisted design stations that aid them in customizing floor plans and producing drawings and material requirement lists. Once the modular system has been designed, the building process begins.

This process is similar to what you've seen during the construction of houses in your neighborhood. High-quality materials and attention to detail, building codes, and standards are observed in both cases. So what makes modular systems different? Efficiency and quality control!

Efficiency begins with modern factory assembly line techniques. Your home travels to workstations where all the building trades are represented. Work is never delayed by weather, subcontractor no-shows, or missing materials. Quality engineering and modular construction techniques significantly increase the energy-efficiency of your modular home. A quality control process provides complete 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 our state and local governments.

Modular homes look like any other homes. Today's building technology has allowed modular manufacturers to build almost any style of house, from a simple ranch to a highly customized contemporary. And this doesn't stop with houses. Modular producers are busy building banks, schools, office buildings, motels, hotels, condominiums, and apartments. Chances are you've been in many modular structures and probably never realized it.
