What are some typical misperceptions in the market about modular homes?
(1) Modular homes are low quality structures and poorly constructed By virtue of the production process, the components of a modular home are built in an environmentally-controlled factory setting where consistent and well-trained craftspeople perform highly specialized functions. Quality control is monitored at every station in the production line. Jigs and templates produce more precise structures than on-site construction resulting in tighter joints, straighter lines, stronger connections and materials cut with a higher degree of accuracy.
