What is a modular home?
Select Homes constructs its modular homes using conventional
stick-frame construction techniques. Our homes are virtually
indistinguishable from site-built homes and built to the same state and
local residential building codes that are required for site-built homes.
However, our homes are engineered and constructed in a quality-controlled
environment where our materials are not adversely affected by weather,
pilferage, and costly over or under materials purchases.
Our Select construction specifications exceed those of many on-site
builders. Select homes have 2" X 4" or 2" X 6" walls,
2" X 10" floor-joists; 2" X 4"
and 2" X 6" rafters with 8" or 10" bottom cords.
Additionally,
our strict quality control systems and procedures ensure consistent
construction. Our experienced Select craftsmen will build a home you will
be proud of whether you choose a small ranch, a large two-story design, or
one of the 150 designs in between.
What is the difference between a
modular home
and a mobile home?
A modular home and a mobile home are not comparable. Select
system-built homes are constructed to the exact same strict state and
local building codes as site-built homes, and they are subject to the same
zoning regulations as site-built homes. The manufacturing and construction
standards of mobile homes are governed by what is referred to as HUD
Codes.
What makes a modular home a good
buy?
A modular home is a good value for the money. Like most
site-built homes, modular homes are more likely to appreciate in
value with time. In most cases, when comparing labor, material and time to
traditional on-site construction, you will save by building a modular
home.
Our modular homes are engineered using computer assisted design
(CAD) technology. The construction takes place
away from the weather elements in our controlled environment.
