Frequently Asked Modular Home Questions

A modular home is a residence whose components are meticulously designed, engineered, and constructed within a contemporary factory setting. These home components undergo stringent quality-control assessments, which not only hasten the construction process but also eliminate the potential for errors and environmental factors affecting the building site. These prefabricated elements are subsequently assembled on the designated building site, where the builder arranges them and completes both the exterior and interior finishing.
