Tidewater Custom Modular Homes Blog

Modular home construction has been around for some time, and more and more are fully appreciating the benefits and exploring the opportunities it has to offer.

Some of the pros include:

Reduced Site Labor and Lower Overall Costs

The same quality materials are used as with site-built construction, but since up to 80% of the building is built and inspected off-site, the amount of time required for completion is dramatically reduced. With modular home construction, less construction site time reduces waste, the chance of weather delays, and material damage. Fewer subcontractors on site reduce site supervision costs, as well as often overlooked costs such as waste removal. Reduction in construction time frames of 30%  to 50% are easily achievable.

Reduced Risk

Safety issues are significantly minimized with modular construction since the majority of the labor force works in a controlled environment, rather than on a traditional site. Even if the modular home is two or three stories, workers can work on the ground and then crane the module once completed. Beyond health and safety concerns, security risks related to theft are also reduced, cost overrun risks are minimized, as are insurance and other “hidden cost” liabilities.

With modular home construction there is still the ability to be creative and design floor plans that are customized.
 
In addition, to the reduced on-site waste and reduces costs during construction there is another advantage to modular construction. Through proven manufacturing processes, modular factories are able to construct tighter homes with less air infiltration. As a result, modular-built homes will typically outperform similar site built or traditionally built homes in energy efficiency.

Design Build Source

Many people have a misconception that modular homes are cookie cutter in style. But, did you know that modular homes can be custom designed? In fact, at Tidewater Custom Modular Homes, custom designed homes are what we do.

We do have floor plans available for all types of homes, and they are not limited in design and can range from 1000 square feet to 4000 sq feet and up. These home plans are designed by builders and architects

However, if there is something you would like to add, change, or omit, Tidewater Custom Modular Homes can make that adjustment. We can also custom design a floor plan for you and your family, from Ranches and Capes to Vacation homes.

Have you gotten so far in your home planning process that you have a floor plan or blue print already, but you just haven’t committed? If so, let us help.  Many floor plans can be modified to accommodate modular home construction.

Tidewater Custom Modular Homes can custom build your affordable, luxury, dream home.
