			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The slowing US economy has put huge dents in the home ownership dreams of many Americans, but the advances in modular home technology over the past decade mean that  the quality of modular homes is now competitive with  that of conventionally built homes in every aspect while being far more affordable.<span id="more-13"></span></p>
<p>Modular homes require fewer contractors and a much shorter constructing period, saving the home owner money on construction loan interest.  They are also inspected multiple times, both at the factory and during construction, ensuring that a finished modular home has passed every conceivable test for durability.  Modular homes offer a real opportunity for cash-strapped American families!</p>
<p><strong>Live In A Manufactured Home And Enjoy Country Living:<br />
</strong>Since modular homes are inspected regularly during the total construction process, and quality-control is highly regulated, the home buyer can rest assured that his home with offer lower maintenance costs and energy effectiveness, which will keep down his day-to-day expenses. Typically, an architectural engineer will sit down with a prospective home buyer and discuss design ideas based on a combination of the customers housing needs and the parameters set down by the home builder. Homeowners can choose from a shopping list of features to be integrated into one of a variety of available designs, once the details are settled on, the home is constructed in sections and then moved to the home site.</p>
<p><strong>Save Money On Modular Homes:<br />
</strong>It’s estimated a homeowner can save up to 25% on their house by going modular. That is a considerable saving in our economy. Construction expenses are sometimes less per four-sided figure for modular homes than that of regular manufacturer homes. 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>Since all modular factories have to build according to certain codes, your home will last just as long as any other custom built home, and sometimes even longer. With the need to transport the home segments to the site, the factory design actually creates a stronger and sturdier structure to accommodate the transportation segment of the building process. In addition, modular homes are built under constant environmental conditions inside a factory, which will reduce your chances of mold and mildew problems in the future when compared to traditional site built homes build outdoors.</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.</p>
<p>On average, a two section home can be built in the factory in a couple of weeks. Once your home is placed on the foundation, final completion takes two to three weeks. This building process allows you to move in a quicker time frame than that of waiting for a home builder. Do keep in mind that time frames will vary so be sure and check with your builder for exact time frames. Precision techniques and additional factory insulation make modular homes a super efficient energy conserving home. This will help cut your energy bill down while saving you money. It will also help for the resale value of your home. Hence modular home not only save your money but also save your time.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The differences between modular home construction and traditional home construction are many, and they favor modular home construction.  Modular homes are constructed from individual modules produced in sanitary climate-controlled factories and shipped to a building site where they are quickly joined to a foundation and to each other, eliminating the possibilities of vandalism, theft, or weather related damage which can plague traditional home construction sites.<span id="more-14"></span></p>
<p>Modular home construction is also subjected to lenders’ inspections as each phase is completed, while there are no ongoing inspections during traditional home construction projects.  Modular homeowners also benefit from the significantly larger percentage of lumber used in their homes.</p>
<p><strong>Modular Homes The Other Name Of Comfort:</strong><br />
Modular homes are built in sections in a factory setting, inside, where they are never subjected to adverse climate conditions. The sections move through the factory, with the company&#8217;s excellence control section examination them after every step. Finished module are covered for protection, and then transported to your house site. They are located on a pre-made foundation, joined, and completed by your local builder. A modular home conforms to the building codes that are required at the specific location it will be delivered to, and in many cases construction exceeds the required codes.<br />
Differences between modular home construction and traditional home construction?</p>
<p><strong>Modular Homes Construction Not A Big Deal:</strong><br />
Modular homes are built in factory, and benefit from the assembly line production process. The factories pay money for huge quantities of lumber, sheet rock, carpet tiles, paint, rugs, etc., they give much less for all and can have huge quantities delivered at one moment. Labor is used with maximum efficiency, with skilled craftsman moving between workstations on the factory floor.</p>
<p><strong>Modular Home Benefits Over Traditional Onsite Construction:</strong><br />
Modular home construction poses numerous benefits over traditional onsite construction. The level of quality, efficiency, and overall cost savings through modular construction surpasses even the highest standards for site-based construction. The modular home construction industry remains on the cutting edge of the latest in construction innovations and state-of-the-art production technology to offer endless possibilities for a beautiful home using almost any house plan.</p>
<p>Modular construction adheres to the highest standards for quality control as well as complete compliance with local, state and national building codes. The process begins with careful review of each building plan using state-of-the-art computer technology. Once construction is underway, modular home factory specialists are rigorous at assuring expert inspection for quality control at each stage of building. The equipment used in modular home factories is larger and more powerful, with the ability for exact precision so that all walls are plumb and corners are square. With traditional home building, lot preparation takes place first, before any building can begin. Weather and contractor scheduling affect the duration of this process, thus extending the cost of material replacement and labor.</p>
<p>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. 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>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Pre-built modular homes are the ideal solution to the rising costs of home energy, and they are also far ahead of stick-built homes when it comes to speedy construction.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>For the home buyer with construction skill, participating in one of the United State’s many wholesale modular homes programs can mean an even bigger discount in the price of a home which is already significantly cheaper than a stick built home of the same size and with the same amenities.  Wholesale modular homes programs allow the home buyer to do all the interior and exterior finishing of the home, and to hook up its utilities.<span id="more-31"></span></p>
<p>The wholesale modular homes programs provide the home’s completed modules, the materials for its roof as well as a roofing crew, and also arrange to have a foundation for the home prepared and a crane available to lift the modules onto it.  Wholesale Modular Homes:  Your DIY Skills Can Really Pay Off</p>

<p><strong>Retail Vs. Wholesale<br />
</strong>A retail home builder sells homes directly to consumers for their personal use. A wholesaler usually sells products to a retail home builder who uses them in constructing projects.  But a wholesale modular homes seller offers homes to consumers wholesaler after factory-assembling after assembling the modules from which the completed home will be built with all the products like plumbing, wiring, insulation, and pipes already installed.</p>
<p>Where wholesale modular homes differ from retail modular homes is in the construction process.  The retail modular home construction will include digging and pouring its foundation, finishing its interior and exterior, and connecting its electrical, water, and septic systems.  But if you or your friends are handy or have home building experience, or know how to find subcontractors, you can opt for a wholesale modular homes program.</p>
<p><strong>What A Wholesale Builder Does<br />
</strong>In a wholesale modular homes program, the home’s manufacturer will produce and delver the home’s modules to your building site, where you have already had the foundation dug and poured.  The manufacturer will arrange for a crane to mount your individual modules on the permanent foundation, and for a crew to attach them.  You will also get the materials necessary to complete your roof; the crew will complete it and also nail the structures of the home together.</p>
<p>A wholesale modular homes program will leave you with ah home which is from seventy-five to eighty percent complete, depending on the complexity of its plans.  All modular homes are engineered to meet the building cods of the areas in which they will be constructed, so you won’t have to worry about the inspection process.</p>
<p><strong>What You Will Do<br />
</strong>What you will have to do, or hire someone to do, is connect your modular home to its utilities sources, and finish its interiors and exterior.  While having to do this yourself may delay the time before your modular home is ready for occupancy, the money you save will be considerable.</p>
<p>Mountain View Homes and Development Homes of Tennessee, for instance, has a wholesale modular homes program which offers a one-year warranty on all work done by their own crews, and will let you buy a four-bedroom, three-bath 1700-square foot two story home for less than $104,000.  They have many other wholesale modular homes as well,   and their program is typical of wholesale modular homes programs across the US.</p>
