Modular Home Construction Tour

1. All the building materials for your home arrive 3 days before the home goes into production.

2. All materials are stored under roof in climate controlled weather, never being exposed to weather.

3. The process begins with construction of the floor systems. 2x10 floor systems also available.

4. While the floor is being built, so are the walls and roofs. Everything is built on perfectly level, perfectly square steel jigs for accuracy.

5. After the floor of the home is completed, the interior walls and plumbing fixtures are installed. The exterior walls are now ready to be built.

6. Our homes can have up to 30% more lumber and building materials in them compared to traditional "stick built" homes of the same size.

7. The exterior walls are then lifted into place after the interior of the home is completed.

8. Scrap pieces of drywalls are glued on the backside of drywall seams for additional strength and stability.

9. After all of the walls are set, the roof is added and aligned using state of the ar techniques and technology.

10. These home are ENERGY STAR LABELED homes, exceeding industry minimums.

11. To reduce air infiltration all sheathing joints are caulked making the home more energy efficient.

12. In most cases, air infiltration is standard. It can be added to any of our homes.

13. After completion at the factory, the home is delivered to the site.

14. The first half the the first floor of the home is put into place by a crane.

15. The other half of the first floor is put into place by a crane.

16.The carriers from the delivery of the home are then stacked to be returned to the factory.

17. The rear section of the second floor is then added to the completed first floor.

18. The front section of the second floor is then added to the completed first floor.

19. In most cases, the roof is erected and the home is weather tight in one day.

20. After a few short weeks of completion work, you are ready to move in!
