Homes built through modular construction are sturdy and resilient. They can resist wind forces of up to 180 mph. The materials are precision cut to fit together perfectly and everything is fit and fastened in the manufacturing plant. Modular building systems applies the process of gluing and screwing all building materials with extra framing. Everything is reinforced to withstand transportation to the permanent building site and to withstand the craning onto the home's foundation. This makes modular homes tougher and sturdier, perfect for withstanding nature's violent strikes.

Moreover, modular homes are equipped with state-of-the-art safety features such as wired-in smoke detectors and incombustible building materials that are used around the kitchen ranges and furnaces.

Modular homes strictly abide by the HUD national codes for electrical and plumbing and always meet or exceed state and local building codes.
