			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The home building industry is coming to realize more and more that the advantages 0of modular homes for builder-developers far outweigh the outdated idea that such homes are less well-built and attractive than traditionally built homes.  The advantages of modular homes for builder-developers include the discounts on materials which builders can get by ordering them in bulk, and the fact that modular homes are created in climate controlled manufacturing plants where they are immune to changes in the weather.<span id="more-5"></span></p>
<p>The builders’ savings can be passed along to the home buyers in the form of lower home prices, and the home buyers can also have modular homes built to their customization form the hundreds o f modular home styles now available.</p>
<p><strong>Dependability Over Modular Houses:</strong><br />
Modular houses are the strongest of all frame homes built. A typical modular home contains 30 percent more lumber. Floors and walls are both glued and screwed to hold out the rigors of over-the-road transportation and crane lifting when setting the house on a foundation. Make no mistake, modular is just a better way to build!</p>
<p>Big Boom In Modular Homes Industry:  The industry of modular homes is rising and advancing each day, and homes are being built across the United States, Canada and all over the world. There are some great benefits to going with a modular home over a site built home. Not only can the modular home direction save funds in actual construction costs, but it may also save a lot of time. Since there such opportunity for lower costs, a lower potential for problems (caused by weather damage and possible damage during construction), energy efficiency and better quality, people in and out of the industry are beginning to be aware of the amazing value of modular homes.</p>
<p>Modular home builder: Typically, modular homes are buying through a modular builder. After the floor strategy and options have been agreed, a state-approved third party reviews the plans to assurance they meet the code for the state where they will be built. Moreover, a third party inspection agency licensed by the state conducts inspection at the plant while the home is being manufactured and assembled. In the temporary, a local builder lays the homes foundation.</p>
<p>The biggest advantage of a modular home is likely its energy efficiency. Believe it or not, because prefabricate homes are constructed indoors, totally within a factory setting, they are made with materials that never endure climate damage. This cuts down on drywall warping and mold damage. Also the company is able to insulate a modular home to a much greater degree than an onsite home. The home is caulked all at once; no delays due to poor weather will interfere with the construction of your home.<br />
It’s estimated a homeowner can save up to 35% on their house by going modular. That is a sizeable saving in our economy. A builder also have benefit to build out his property knowing that he will have many qualified buyers competing to buy his homes.</p>
<p>Modular homes are built to the same building codes used by conventional site-builders. As noted above, an independent inspector will certify that the home has been manufactured in conformance with the approved plans and complies with all building code provisions for the location where the home will be erected. Modular home plans cover all types of homes in all sizes, from vacation and starter homes to immaculate executive homes and even multi-family homes. Because of all these advantages it is easy for builder to move to modular home building market.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>While the idea of an Alaska modular home might seem, .if not completely ridiculous, at least comical, the Alaska modular home proved its worth as far back as the 1970s when it was used to house the workers who were constructing British Petroleum’s oil pipeline on Alaska’s violently stormy North Coast.  Alaska modular homes are often the only housing option in the remote parts of the state where it is impossible to get materials and constructing crews for traditional home building.<span id="more-6"></span></p>
<p>An Alaska modular home is also more weatherproof than a traditional home due to the precisely fitting individual blocks which make up its walls.</p>
<p><strong>The Alaska Modular Home:  As Tough As They Come</strong></p>
<p>Does the idea of living in an Alaska modular home strike you as just this side of insane?  Are you picturing gale force winds, nights which last for months, and sheets of ice weighing down your modular roof to its breaking point?</p>
<p>If so, you can relax.  You may not have known that in the oil company British Petroleum, which built the Alaska pipeline during the 1970s, uses modular housing to house its construction employees on Alaska’s North Slope. The terrain and weather conditions on Alaska’s North Slope are among the harshest on Earth, with permafrost which never thaws.  The average temperature on the North Slope is 9.7 degrees, and where the wind never stops blowing and fifty-mile an hour gusts, producing wind chills of fifty below, are monthly occurrences.</p>
<p>If an Alaska modular home can handle the North Coast, they can handle almost any other part of Alaska as long as it does not thaw in the spring and float out to sea.  An Alaska modular home, in fact, may be the only option for parts of the state to remote to be accessible for construction crew and the delivery of traditional home building materials.</p>
<p><strong>It’s Not A Mobile Home<br />
</strong>Many people have lumped modular homes into the same category as mobile homes, and they could not be more different.  Your Alaska modular home will be constructed on a permanent foundation and cannot be moved.</p>
<p>When completed their appearance is identical to that of traditionally constructed homes, but the number of people for their construction is much smaller, and they can be completed in much less time than traditional homes.  Its simplified construction means that an Alaska modular home will cost considerably less than an equivalent traditional home.</p>
<p><strong>Energy Efficiency<br />
</strong>One of your major concerns, if you are considering an Alaska modular home, will be its energy efficiency.  Because modular homes are built in blocks which are designed to fit together precisely, they are almost completely draft proof.  But an Alaska modular home can be ordered with additional insulation, and even manufactured to meet Energy Star standards.  In addition, your Alaska modular homes will be constructed to meet the building codes in the municipalities where it is built.</p>
<p>One factor you’ll have to work into your Alaska modular home plans is the delivery cost you’ll have to pay.  Depending on which part of Alaska you want to call home, your Alaska modular home may have to come a long way, and the shipping charges can add a significant percentage to its cost.</p>
<p>Alaska has the scenery, the clear clean air, and the peace and quiet that can make you wonder why you ever wanted to live anywhere else.  And your Alaska modular home, against a setting like that, can guarantee that you won’t!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The majestic mountains with their  crystal clear streams, the sweeping plains, and the wide open spaces of Colorado make it one of  the most spectacular scenic of all the United States, and buying an affordable Colorado manufactured home will let you enjoy hour own slice of Colorado heaven.<span id="more-7"></span></p>
<p>A Colorado manufactured home can be ordered from any manufactured home company, but must meet the building codes and zoning requirements of the municipality in which it is to be built.  The design of a Colorado manufactured home, with its precisely fitted individual blocks, makes the home extremely energy efficient, so that it will easily handle the weather extremes of the Rocky Mountain State.The Colorado Manufactured Home:  Your Piece Of Perfection</p>
<p>The Rocky Mountain State, Colorado, is home to such spectacular natural beauty that US President Theodore Roosevelt, as a passenger traveling to Cripple Creek on the Short Line Railroad, once said, “This is the ride that bankrupts the English language.”</p>
<p>And for those who would like to own a home in the middle of the kind of scenery which bankrupts the English language, without bankrupting themselves, a Colorado manufactured home may be the answer.  A Colorado manufactured home is one which has been prefabricated in a factory, and then shipped in sections to its permanent Colorado location for assembly; its decreased construction time can mean big savings for its owner.</p>
<p><strong>Standards For Manufactured Homes</strong><br />
Colorado manufactured homes, like those built in the rest of the US, are subject to stringent Federal and state regulations, and municipal zoning and code restrictions. Even prefabricated homes which are manufactured in other parts of the US, if they are to be constructed n Colorado, must meet all the Colorado building codes.</p>
<p>Because of climactic differenced among the various regions of the US, all manufactured homes must be capable of withstanding a wide variety of weathers.  Manufactured homes in the Midwest, for example, may have to survive severe thunderstorms; those in the South may be facing hurricane winds and rains. There is earthquake danger on the Pacific Coast.</p>
<p>No manufactured home can be assembled in any of those areas unless it meets the codes of the municipality where it is to be located.  In Colorado, Colorado manufactured homes must be able to tolerated heavy snow loads on their roofs.  The standards for Colorado manufactured homes are identical to those for Colorado stick homes.</p>
<p>Anyone considering constructing a Colorado manufactured home needs to research the easements on his or her lot required before selecting a manufactured home.  The lot on which the home will be permanently situated has to be large enough to accommodate the Colorado manufactured home, any outbuildings which the homeowner wishes to build, and the easesments.</p>
<p><strong>The Energy Efficiency Issue</strong><br />
Colorado winters can be harsh, and Colorado manufactured homes need to be able to handle the cold.  But manufactured homes, because they are engineered so that their sections fit together with all the precision technology can provide, are remarkably energy-efficient, preventing air from either entering or escaping.  Your winters will be toastier than you might think possible inside your Colorado manufactured home.</p>
<p>So don’t be afraid to order a Colorado manufactured home with as many windows as you like, so that you can drink in the scenery that “bankrupts the English language” to your heart’s content!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Construction loans for modular homes are not like traditional mortgages, although they are converted to traditional mortgages once the modular home construction is complete.  Construction loans for modular homes are actually lines of credit which cover the pre-determined costs of each phase of the construction.<span id="more-8"></span></p>
<p>Once a particular part of the modular home construction is finished, the modular home construction home lender will have the work done and materials used in that phase inspected.  If everything is up to standard, payment will be made directly to the subcontractors and suppliers involved.  You may have to come up with a down payment to qualify for a modular home construction loan.</p>
<p><strong>Modern Modular Home A Name Of Comfort:</strong><br />
Modern modular homes are most comfortable home these days. Modular homes are built in sections in a factory setting, indoors, where they are never subjected to unfavorable weather conditions. The sections move through the factory, with the company&#8217;s quality control department checking them after every step. Finished modules are covered for protection, and then transported to your home site. They are placed on a pre-made foundation, joined, and completed by your local builder.</p>
<p>Modern Modular Home And Manufactured Homes: When you are buying a house, you might hear the terms modular homes, manufactured homes and site built homes. It&#8217;s important to understand how they all differ, no matter whether you are purchasing an existing house or plan to build on land that is subject to restrictions. The differences can affect a home&#8217;s price and its resale value, and even dictate whether or not it can be built on your land.</p>
<p>Manufactured Home A Protected Home: The term &#8220;manufactured home&#8221; particularly refers to a home built entirely in a protected environment under a central code set by the US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). Manufactured homes are not mobile homes. These manufactured houses are rooted to their sites either by having a foundation built for it, employing anchors, or by using blocks to secure the house above ground. The owners of these mobile homes are given the option of keeping the wheels of their houses with them should they decide to turn into nomads and move from one place to another.</p>
<p>There is lot of problems with manufactured homes compare to modulated homes; the major one is the fact that most lenders will not loan on them, preventive your choice of lenders. Lenders that will provide finance for manufactured homes will require an appraisal of the property that will use other manufactured home sales in the area as comparables. But on Modular Homes any body can easily get finance, for most part no financing restrictions. Need no appraisal of the property, no limitation of loan.</p>
<p>There are many advantages to the modular home building market that will benefit both the home buyer and the builder. We’ve already discussed how the builder can save money by avoiding weather-related days and by buying materials in bulk. And, by having all of the laborers supervised together, the builder can control the quality and consistency in the homes.</p>
<p>The prevalent advantage of a modular home is likely its energy efficiency. Believe it or not, because manufacture homes are constructed indoors, totally within a factory setting, they are made with equipment that never endures climate harm. This cuts down on drywall warping and mold damage. Also the company is able to insulate a modular home to a much greater degree than an onsite home. The home is caulked all at once; no delays due to poor weather will interfere with the construction of your home.</p>
<p>Modular home plans cover all types of homes in all sizes, from vacation and starter homes to immaculate executive homes and even multi-family homes. A modular home is delivered to the site in one delivery and the manufactures will typically need a substantial down payment before shipping. You must make sure that the construction lender that you are choosing will accommodate that, as some lenders will not allow deposit payments.</p>
