Our Review
Editor's Rating
Editorial Review	KBS Building Systems is a provider of nice, high quality modular homes. These homes will blend in beautifully in any New England neighborhood. Their specifications are very good. New England has many good choices for modular homes and KBS should be included on that list. They have developed a good reputation for high quality. As you compare them with others you should make sure to note their energy efficiency and building quality. Our mystery shopper wished they had more information online. Hopefully they will expand the website soon.
