Environmentally Friendly Modular Homes

The housing market in America is being affected by the nation's dropping economy. That doesn't necessarily mean that all new construction has stopped. There will always be a need for new residential and commercial properties. One big advantage with environmentally friendly modular homes is the cost savings compared to traditional construction methods. On average a modular home costs 10% to 25% less compared to a stick-built home.

Modular homes are not to be confused with mobile homes. Mobile homes are not permanent establishments. The major difference is that a modular home is pre-constructed in a manufacturing facility built to strict codes. Some components of the home may be constructed in facility or in more than one facility. However, the end result is a home that looks traditionally built. The home looks every bit as professional, inside and out. Modular homes are built to the residential code and mobile homes are built to the HUD code, which is an inferior code.

It's the minor differences that make all the difference in environmentally friendly modular homes. Modular homes are cost-efficient when compared to homes built on-site. They have less expensive parts to manufacture and more efficient resources to get the job done. Modular homes are also more customizable than traditionally built homes. They can be modified for a particular region's temperatures or local building codes. Essentially, you are looking at a modular home in the price range of $80,000 vs. an onsite house of well over $150,000 perhaps more.

The quality is the same but the price makes a huge difference to the customer.
