Modular Homebuyers
When trying to select a modular home the
first place to start is at the factory level. Knowing which factories
deliver to your area is the first step in understanding your options.
The second and most important step is determining how the factories
compare to each other in the areas of: Quality Construction,
Design/Style, Appraised Value and Price.
The manufactured housing industry has made some serious
improvements in recent years regarding quality construction and
residential appeal. With modern day technology and assembly line
techniques, the industry is overcoming the misconception that
manufactured homes are poorly built and don’t measure up to stick-built
homes.

securing a good deal. We have spoken with hundreds of modular home

On average 80% of homebuyers pay too much for their
modular home. Not surprising with all the choices one must make from
negotiating with your builder to purchasing property and
site-improvements. This resource will reveal important negotiating
secrets and dealer profit margins that will give you an edge when
negotiating with your builder.
Most modular home builders have display models for
potential home buyers to walk through. These models are professionally
decorated to impress buyers with elaborate decorations, elegant
furniture and dazzling floorplans. Aesthetics are important but would
you purchase a modular home based on looks and compromise structural
integrity? Don’t be fooled by appearances and miss what really matters;
“Quality Construction.”
Systems Built Construction In the 1960s, the mobile home industry made an evolutionary split. One branch evolved into recreational vehicles RVs to the point where the house now tows the car. The other branch evolved into manufactured homes, 95 percent of which now become permanent dwellings once they are transported from the factory to the site. Factory built housing is also popular in many countries around the world.
Modular Homes are Superior Proponents of pre fab homes have long maintained that the building system produces structures that are a lot stronger than site built homes. For example, the modual sections are well built to withstand the stresses of highway travel, containing up to 30 percent more building materials than a comparable conventional site built home.
South Carolina Modular Homes Most manufactured homes are constructed entirely within a controlled climate. Construction continues year round and assembly line workers don’t need to be skilled carpenters and are paid about half of what on site contractors are normally paid. Many of the laborers working in the modular housing industry have steady jobs with benefits and can afford to buy the products they make.
