Modular Homes and the Modern Day Home

By Dexter Elmond • December 17th, 2009

There are many different styles of houses around the world. For example, split level, multiple family, and mobile homes are commonly found in the US along with many differently shaped homes as well. North Carolina is famous for its modular homes, but what exactly are these modular homes that have brought much attention to North Carolina’s real estate?

Have you ever driven on the freeway when suddenly you were forced to step on the brakes because in front of you a police car started swerving between all the lanes with its lights on in order to slow down traffic? Then you noticed that in front of the police car was a huge flatbed truck. On that truck was what looked like a pre-built house.

Perhaps you wondered at that moment, what is a house doing on the back of a truck, and who would have it carried to its location and put together? Is this really worth halting all the traffic?

What you have just witnessed is the transfer of a modular home to be put together at the intended destination. A modular home is a home that is put together sectionally at a remote location and then hauled out to the intended point of building, in which all the sections are put together to create one fine home.

The average modular home costs between $40,000-$80,000. This is, of course, relatively cheap, but it is important to note that the expense does not include the price of land; the land must already be owned. This is quite advantageous for a homeowner looking to rip down his old home and rebuild a newer home.

As such, North Carolina modular homes are very cost effective in comparison to conventional construction. The clear advantage to constructing a modular home is the fact that there is no weather time line because the units are individually constructed indoors.

Moreover, because modular homes are made in the warehouse facilities there is an unlimited supply of construction materials available. This is beneficial because there are no construction delays and almost no chance of having materials stolen. This also eliminates material delivery fees while having an unlimited supply as well.

Today’s most desirable form of construction is modular construction. If you are interested in building a modular home, it is very easy to do. Online there are many companies that provide modular construction services.
