Modular construction has become the construction method of choice for the quality- and cost-conscious house buyer. The
best-built modular homes are better built than the vast majority of stick-built homes. Modular homes offer better materials,
state-of-the-art construction technology, superior finished quality, and time and money savings. And you gain all of these
benefits without sacrificing design or amenities.  

Even with all the educational resources available you will still find many misinformed lenders, whom do fully understand how
a modular home is built.  Many lenders still equate manufactured housing (double-wides) to modular homes.  We like to tell
lenders "it's a home that was built using modular construction, not a modular home".    
A modular home is simply a home built in a controlled, environmentally protected building center using
precise and efficient construction technology. A modular home is built to the same codes as a site built home.
And because they must be transported to the home site, modular homes are much stronger than site built
homes.  Our efficient building process provides for strict quality control, faster building cycles and less
material waste during the building process.

The result is a 10-20% savings over comparable site-built homes. Not only do you own a stronger, more
energy efficient home. You also save money.  It’s true modular homes save money and are built better.  
Modular homes are the fastest-growing segment of the home building industry, but were obviously going to
be very enthusiastic about modular construction, which is why we have included many unbiased articles and
documentary links to show how the modular construction process actually works. (click on links below to see
video's and documentaries)
Washington Post 3/4/2010 “Mansions go modular as costs,
timeline lure high-end buyers”
History Channel – Modern Marvels  “Start to
Finish: Building a Modular Home”
Wikipedia – Modular Homes “free online encyclopedia”
"Once assembled, modular buildings are essentially indistinguishable from typical site-built homes. While
mobile manufactured buildings often decrease in value over time, a well-built modular should have the same
longevity as its site-built counterpart, increasing in value over time."
