A SMART WAY TO BUILD:
For the quality minded and cost conscious
house buyer, our manufactured home construction is without a doubt, the
construction method of choice. Our homes are better built than the vast
majority of stick-built homes. Since our homes must be transported on the
highways, we go beyond the conventional construction requirements that are used
to site build a house. We use a stronger construction technique to build our
homes and are very selective in the materials we use. Our state-of-the-art
production facilities, quality control personnel, and our on going research and
development technology allow us to offer a quality, energy efficient home,
without sacrificing amenities, at an affordable cost.
COST:
Due to the fact that we buy materials by
the trainloads and use mass production techniques, we are able to lower the
cost per square foot on our homes, compared to that of conventional stick built
ones. We also save money by using cutting gigs that eliminate wasted materials.
Building the homes indoors also has its advantages, like over all workmanship,
employee moral and general attitude since neither the house or the workers are
exposed to the outdoor elements. Weather damaged materials, pilferage and
vandalism are virtually eliminated using this method. Another important fact to
think about is the amount of interest you pay on the construction loan is
reduced because the construction time is far shorter than that of conventional
building.
CONSTRUCTION TIME:
Generally our homes take from four to
eight weeks from the time the home is ordered to delivery. During time the home
is being manufactured, we have already started to develop the site, so it will
be ready for delivery of the home. Once the home has been placed on the slab or
foundation, it takes anywhere from 7 to 30 days, depending upon the size of the
home, any extras and the amount of on site finish work. If you had a house
stick built, it takes considerably longer.
CONSTRUCTION NOTES:
The structural integrity of our
manufactured homes is one of its biggest assets. Technology is expanding at
enormous rates and better equipment is seeping from the grounds of society.
Building equipment at manufacturing factories are becoming larger, more
powerful, and much more sophisticated. Precision control is guaranteed, all
main components are assembled with gigs. The Factories are also under climate
control. This avoids moisture in the lumber, drywall, insulation, warping of
walls and doors, freezing and cracking of brittle materials, and other ravages
of the elements. Since badly knotted or splintered wood would jam the gigs,
only the highest quality, kiln dried lumber is used. All this results in better
materials used in manufactured homes.
Don=t forget our
homes go on the road. This forces the manufacture to produce a stronger, more
durable home. Walls, floors and ceilings are not only nailed together, they are
also held together with special adhesives. With hand packed insulation around
electrical fixtures and caulking around the exterior sheathing seams, the
manufactured homes are being built to virtually eliminate any cold air drafts
in the winter and reduce the cooling costs in the summer months. Every home is
inspected by a state-approved third party agency, which certifies that the
house will meet the most stringent state construction codes.
AMENITIES:
WE can customize the interior and
exterior of your home in many ways. We have open floor plans, different pitched
roofs, bay and bow windows, transom windows, skylights, sliding glass doors and
atrium doors and many other window and door treatments. Inside, you can get
vaulted and cathedral ceilings, special lighting packages, ceiling fans, cable
and t.v. jacks. We also offer fireplaces, whirlpool tubs, custom cabinets,
appliances, carpets, flooring, counter tops, different shingles, sidings,
shutters, etc.. We even offer total custom designed floor plans. So, as you can
