THE NEW MOD SQUAD — Cont'd from page 47 #paradeofhomesmb www.homebuilders.mb.ca Follow us to see what is happening at the 2021 Fall Parade of Homes official_mhba @MBParadeofHomes @paradeofhomesmb Grandeur's modular homes are manufactured in a 200,000-square- foot facility. Warms says the factory-built units have a number of advantages over site-built homes. For one thing, materials aren't exposed to the elements during construction. "We don't ever have to worry about the weather outside and whether it's raining or snowing. They're always in a dry location. We never have an issue of working with wet lumber," he says. Otherwise, there is very little difference between how modular homes and on-site dwellings are built. Both have to be built to the same codes, but Grandeur's homes must be slightly sturdier to withstand any forces they may encounter during transportation. 48 Parade of Homes FALL 2021
