"We have quality-control inspects that go into every house
every day to check on homes to make sure they are getting
built to standard and are meeting code," Warms says.
Prices are fairly comparable to those of site-built models in
most cases, since all builders have to pay the same lumber
costs. However, in markets where there is a labour shortage
and labour rates are higher, a modular home can cost
significantly less.
Another factor that makes modular homes attractive is the
speedy construction period. The home itself can be built in as
little as 30-40 days, depending on its size and style. Once it's
installed on top of a concrete foundation or piles, it
can be move-in ready within a week or two. Compare
that to a site-built home that can take six months or
more to complete.
"I think it's more the convenience of being able to
come in, order the house and get it built relatively
quickly that appeals to a lot of people," Warms says.
Modular homes can be just as durable as site-built
houses as well, Warms says. Many of the first homes
Grandeur built in the 1970s are still occupied by
families to this day.
