The Modular Home Process


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 facilities
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 is completed the interior walls and plumbing fixtures are installed
6. Our homes can have up to 30% more lumber and building products in them compared to "stick built" homes of the same size
7. The exterior walls are then lifted into place after the interior is complete
8. Scrap pieces of drywall are glued on the backside of drywall seams for additional strength and stability
9. After all of the interior and exterior walls are set, the roof is added and aligned using state of the art techniques and technology
10. These homes are ENERGY STAR PARTNER homes meaning that the insulation exceeds industry minimums in most cases
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 on site
14. The first half of the first floor is put into place
15. The other half of the first floor is put into place
16. The carriers from the delivery of the home are then stacked to be returned to the factory
17. The rear section of the 2nd floor is then added to the completed 1st floor
18. Craning front second floor onto the first floors
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!
