One Stop Modular Home Construction
One stop purchasing and modular home construction goes beyond the mere convenience of being just a single point of contact for the customer. The public is quickly learning that factory built modular homes are the cost effective model for the twenty-first century.
There are several different home buying options available for modular homes. You can purchase the home through a modular retailer and act as your own building contractor, hire a general building contractor that is separate from the retailer, or find a combined modular retailer and building contracting company to do everything.
One of the most difficult tasks for the home buyer is to find a modular home dealer that can complete all the aspects of the project. New homes can be constructed more efficiently and with greater savings to the customer through assembly automation, cad-cam design and engineering. With the inherent complexities of building a new home, finding a company that can complete every aspect of the home building construction becomes increasingly important.
In the highly regulated business of building homes, the combined modular retailer and building contractor becomes critical in completing a house project in a timely manner, in compliance with building code regulations, and at great savings to the purchaser. These types of modular home construction companies will have an in-house licensed contractor as part of their organization.
The following is a summary of the key points and advantages for selecting a combined modular retailer and modular home construction company.
A single point of contact for all aspects of the project
Reduced profit mark-up between contractors
Streamline communication to eliminate costly errors
Increased customization of home upgrades such as porches, decks, basements, etc.
Full integration of the design and building phases
Single accountability for the entire home project
Elimination of duplicate errors and efforts
Improved project planning in the home design and construction
Promotes customer satisfaction for the home buyer
Some additional considerations for the home buyer include verification that the building contractor is licensed and insured. Find out how much experience the company has for building quality homes. Ask for letters of recommendation from your modular retailer and lastly, choose a modular company that has a genuine interest in your home project.
No doubt it may take a little more time and effort to find a retailer that also has an in-house building contractor, but the peace of mind gained and the savings realized throughout the home construction process from start to finish will be well worth the effort.
