Modular Homes? |
My husband and I live in Massachusetts and are considering buying a piece of land and building a modular home. Does anyone know the name(s) of any good modular home companies in the New England area? I hired Customized Structures http://www.customizedstructures.com... to build our house. Yesterday, they put the 6 boxes on the foundation and it was really neat to see. Within one day the whole house was put together minus the roofing. Today they will put the roofing on and it should only take a day or two. I would recommend Customized Structures because they have been around for decades and their staff are very proficient and knowledgable. FYI.....Modular houses will be tough to finance and re sell. The word "modular" can mean a lot of things. Most people think of trailers; the double-wide. This segment of the industry has been evolving over the past decade and there are a number of very high-quality products available. Today, the most popular "modular" is a factory-built house. This is a house that is literally built inside a factory, in segments (or modules) and then these are connected on the home site. Go to http://www.muncyhomes.com/ and watch the video on "House Set". This one serves your ares, but for a more complete list follow this link to the Modular Housing Association of America. http://www.modularhousing.com/members.ht... I am a big fan of factory built housing for many reasons. Quality control is number one. In a factory, everything is controllable. Unlike a site built house, the materials don't lay in the snow/mud/rain/sun waiting for a crew to show up and use them. Also, because the factory built crews are the same every day, they a more familiar with the product and they work as a team. Consider that the framing crew, electrician, plumber, HVAC, cabinet Maker, and finish carpenters all work together every day. This might not be the case in a site built home, even for the best builders. Anyway, do your research. I think you will be very satisfied with what you learn ken@thesynergycorp.com |
