Advantages

Reduce construction time and save on-site costs by building a modular house. New Era Homes are built in modules in an enclosed factory environment, so there are no delays due to bad weather, missing materials, labor shortages, or unreliable sub-contractors. Our houses can be placed on their foundations in a day, with plumbing, wiring, ceramic tile, and even kitchen cabinets already installed.

Today, many do not know the numerous advantages to building a modular home, rather than a traditional stick-built home. Bob Vila, a home improvement and remodeling expert, compares modular homes to hybrid cars. He states, “Modular homes are like the hybrid car of the house-building industry. They save money, they make sense, but they haven't caught on yet”. Although the term modular is used to describe homes by New Era Homes, modular does not truly define the benefits of the home.

Modular homes are defined as homes built in a factory under a controlled constructing environment. Therefore, the modular home does not experience the faults of the traditional stick built home. The modular home is sheltered away from poor weather conditions and is protected from theft and vandalism. With these positive building conditions, the home is built in half the time of a stick-built home. Thus, modular homes are very money efficient.

The modular home is built to the buyer’s preference and expenses. New Era Homes uses name brand appliances and, high grade building materials to guarantee consumer satisfaction. This helps insure security and longevity of modular homes. A study by FEMA, after Hurricane Andrew, determined the structure of a wood-frame modular home had relatively minimal structural damage compared to stick-built homes after devastating winds hit Dade County, Florida back in 1992.

After the completion of a modular home, the buyer may have savings of up to twenty-five percent over building traditionally. These are a few of the many advantages to building a modular home over a traditional stick-built home.
