Built Stronger to Last

Modulars are more strongly built than site-built homes in many ways. Modulars are built with 30% more materials than traditional homes. Modulars are transported from the factory to your building site; they are then picked up with a crane to be place on the building foundation by the modular installer. Check out the FEMA study conducted after Hurricane Andrew in 1992, it was found that wood-frame modular homes in Dade County, Florida, survived the high winds zone better than a stick-built home. The finding stated that “Overall, relatively minimal structural damage was noted in modular housing…” The report went on to point out that modular construction “provided an inherently rigid system that performed much better than conventional residential framing.”
