Welcome to Modular Today
Modular Homes Consumer Guide Modular homes are built using an engineered approach to produce buildings in a more efficient and cost effect method. Instead of the old-fashioned construction method, most of the work is pre-fabricated at an off-site climate controlled factory. As each sub-section is finished it is transported to the building site and constructed together using the same methods the current stick built homes use. Local builders apply the finishing touches to produce beautiful two story homes that match the quality and appearance of stick built homes. MODULAR HOMES ARE NOT MOBILE HOMES Mobile names (also known as manufactured homes) are built according to the federal HUD building Code. This requires all mobile homes to built on a non-removable steel chassis, which severely limits their design options. Modular homes and buildings have no design limitations they can be any shape or size and will meet or exceed you local and state building codes. Modular buildings are just like any traditional building except they are modules (pieces) that are pre-built in factories and then assembled together using giant cranes in a similar fashion to lego blocks. Check out our home construction comparison chart.  COST AND TIME SAVINGSAccording to industry statistics the modular constructions projects have more than doubled in the last ten years. This is because the modular building process provides time and cost savings. They are built in a similar fashion to an assembly line, which delivers much higher efficiency and quality. Also since they are built inside a factory, the weather does not cause delays which greatly reduces labor costs. And since the fabrication is done at one location it allows for the factories to buy bulk quantities of supplies at greatly reduced rates. The costs will vary depending where you live but a general guide is that mobile/manufactured homes will cost $35-$45 per sq. ft. and modular homes will cost $70-$80 per sq. ft. and stick built homes cost $100+ per sq. ft.
