Manufacturer of Modular Homes The systems built housing idea is not new. Sears Roebuck offered a prefabricated modern home in their spring 1908 general catalog, which was shipped by train. Sears sold around 100000 of these homes from 1908 to 1939. The use of production line techniques really kicked into high gear after World War II and made a sizable contribution to reducing the housing shortage at that time.
Modular Construction Facts Proponents of modular homes have long maintained that the building system produces homes that are far stronger than traditional site built structures. For example, the modular sections are well built to withstand the stresses of highway travel, containing up to 30 percent more building materials than a comparable site built home.

Basements can be complicated, talk with the engineers at the manufacturer and work closely with them. A general contractor who has had experience installing basements under manufactured homes is a must. Your sales center should have names of qualified contractors in your area. Every basement is different and will usually require an engineer drawing.
