Where And How Are Modular Homes Assembled?
Where and how are modular homes assembled? This is a question many home builders may ask when considering which type of home they want to build. Modular homes are not mobile homes because they lack wheels, axles and a frame.
Modular homes are also known as pre-fabricated homes. These homes consist of many different pieces that are assembled in a factory by well-trained, permanent personnel. These homes are fabricated away from the elements and in a controlled environment. This allows for a higher quality product that can be as unique as the homeowner wants. Each section of the pre-fabricated home is then placed on the back of a flat-bed semi via a crane and shipped to the location of the new home. A crane is again used to lift each section from the semi trailer and place it exactly where it is supposed to be on the land.
Modular homes of the past came in only a few varieties and could easily be spotted when driving down a street. Now these homes are so individualized it can’t be determined as easily. These homes do not show any areas where the sections have been joined and can be constructed much faster than an on-site home.
