It is not always who constructs your house that you need to blame. People have to make sure that they have selected a reputable builder to set the house up and do the finish work. You can not let some fly-by-night amateur who is working under someone else's contractor's license set your house up. You have to be really careful and read all the fine print. Modular homes are constructed differently than mobile homes in that they do not have a steel frame underneath. Therefore, a mod can not be set up with a set-up truck. It has to be put together with a crane. And as far as "shoddy work" goes, when you make the decision to purchase a house, please get your feet dirty and come to look at your investment actually being built. And John Greene, please make sure that you do your research and do not purchase an over-the-top doublewide instead of a true modular. Also, when you sign the agreement to purchase your home, normally you have to have a construction loan. Be careful that the one for $50/sq ft doesn't sneak in a cost-overrun that could end up costing you more in the end.

I purchased a large cape 3 years ago. The pricing given on this page must reflect the delivery, but not set up cost; the cost apart from land was $95/sq ft. The company was good at adjusting a plan to meet my needs. The timing of the project was generally as promised. The home looks good. However, there were some issues related to the quality of the products used to construct the home (cabinentry is average; I've had to replace the air conditioning). There were issues related to the set up of the home with which I had problems, but this is unrelated to the builder. As with any modular home, you have to be careful who does the set up once it arrives to you.

well we got so screwed on our home that the cbs and there contractor has left us hanging -got a lawyer and tried to get money out of contractor and tried to get cbs to fix the bunch of screw up some in which is non fixable unless you start all over boy what a mess .never will use them again

I have personally worked for cbs as a installer in the past and have installed over 200 homes with their company. the office staff has always been great to deal and on the jobs that I have been involved in they seem to handle the service after the sale very well. Their is always going to be sub par builders out their and their is always going to be some problems but its how a company deals with the problems that defines who they are.

They are A good group of people to work with when purchasing A home.I purchased A home in 2003 and when ever I needed anything or had problems within reason of the building agreement they always fulfilled there part.You do need to have an understanding of the building of modular homes to know what there responible for or what is your part.

We just looked at a recently completed CBS modular home, and noticed several problems with the house (some may have been due to the house being vacant for the last several months with no heat). When our realtor contacted the builder to discuss having the items repaired, his response was pretty much "its not my problem, we are done with the house". Seems to me that CBS needs to reconsider their choices for builders if they refuse to stand by their own work. So sad that such a nice house will most likely remain vacant for a very long time.

We bought a modular in 2006. The concept is great, but they do shoddy work if you look at the details. By the time it travels to its destination it needs work redone that the factory did at the factory. They do not like to redo work. They did work at the factory, that they were to do on sight. They did not correct the mistakes. We waited and called until finally the one year warranty was "up" and we never heard from them again. Our contractor was blamed for the inaccuracies. NEVER will we purchase a modular. Get everything in writing. Make sure you have phone jacks, door bell and cable tv wired. Because we assumed these basic nessesities and they were never done GOOD LUCK to your guys considering a purchase.

Carolina Building Solutions is a systems built manufacturer that sells soley to builders and developers. The Builders and Developers utilize CBS as a subcontracter to deliver modular systems in combination with individual builder turnkey services to the retail customer. The builder is responsible for a myriad of finish services "after" the modules are delivered to the building site. It is extremely difficult for CBS to handle phone calls and questions from retail customers, other than to refer them to the closest builder of CBS products. It is unfortunate that CBS only manufactures and delivers into a six state region surrounding the Carolinas. Inquiries from Nevada or any other state CBS does not conduct business in, can only be referred to a "sister" company when possible. CBS is very customer focused....striving to provide the most innovative housing products and services available in todays marketplace.

They do not wish to tell you much of anything and the women who answer the phone KNOWS NOTHING was putting me on hold and asking some one and then would talk to you. I think it is best to talk to one of the people who sell the home and not call them on the phone,as they know noting about nothing. BE fair the women who answer is only answer the phone and is no help. I may have not asked the right Q. Capt. Dan Guthrie

I priced a Woodland 1 Chalet at a local dealer. Dry in, 30 miles away is over $120/sq. ft. Can this be correct? The unit is nice but a competitor offers another style and much larger for less than $50/sq. ft. I can afford that.
