Q:  There is so much information out there I'm not sure where to
start.  What would you suggest?
A:  As a Builder for many year it is our recommendation to have
prospective client to get per-qualified for a loan.  This way as a potential
home owner you know what you can afford and are not shopping out of
your price range.

Q:  I have heard that modular homes are stronger.  Is that really
true?
A:  Actually modular are built stronger than an on-site built home,as much
as 25% stronger.  FEMA confirmed that off site constructed homes
withstand hurricane force winds better that on-site built homes.  Drywall is
glued and screwed to wall studs and triple headers are used above
window openings and stairs to withstand transportation and being lifted by
a crane.
These homes not only have to withstand the wind pressure of a 70 mile
an hour truck going down the road, but for every 100 miles of road
traveled, these homes withstand the same stress an on-site stick built
house goes through in a 17 second earthquake with a 6.2 magnitude
rating.

Q:  Do modular homes meet State and Regional Code compliance?
A:   Modular construction in a climate controlled facility with materials
protected from the elements. The design and construction of all off-site
constructed homes are monitored through Housing and Building
Technology (HBT), and by the State Bureau of Manufactured Housing
Construction, insuring the highest quality and safety standards. Modular H
Home construction standards meet or exceed local and state building
codes.

Q:  Do I get what I pay for and do I have to worry about a modular
house appraising for less?
A:  I would have to say that you get more than what you would expect to
pay for your home.  Modular homes appraise just  like on-site stick built
homes.  They follow the same building specifications and codes.        
Modular homes are also “stick built”, just not "stick built" on your building
site.  This saves you time and money.  While your excavation is being
done your home is being stick built in a climate controlled environment.


Q:  Does modular construction offer custom homes?
A:  I would have to say that the "sky is not the limit" when it comes to
Custom Modular built homes.  Customers who want high-quality finishes
as well as high-quality construction increasingly understand that they can
get both with a modular home. My Builders Inc. offers two free designs for
prospective clients. Every Custom Home is built in a controlled
manufacturing environment using only top quality brand name building
materials. All homes are built to comply with all applicable building and
energy codes. Our modular homes are built to a higher standard than
conventional site built homes. Our  homes are built to a higher level of
precision and are more readily "Green" compliant than homes built on site.


Q:  Can  I  see one of these modular homes being built and one that is
completed?
A:  Yes.  We take prospective clients to the factory to see the building
process and also have completed homes that can be toured and talk to the
home owners to gain first hand information on the modular home.

Q:  Is it possible to do geothermal in a modular home?
A:  Absolutely. There are endless possibilities with modular building.
