Is it of mobile home?
No, our homes are modular, not mobile or manufactured. Unlike mobile homes, modular homes are built to state and local building codes just like typical stick-built home.
What is the difference between modular and stick built construction?
Modular and site-built homes use the same code book. The difference is that modular homes are constructed in a factory under controlled conditions, then transported and completed on your lot. This process improves quality, shortens timelines, and typically saves costs compared to traditional stick-built homes.
How durable are modular homes?
Modular homes are built to be lifted and transported, making them extremely strong. FEMA studies show modular homes often perform better than traditional site-built homes. Built in a controlled environment and engineered to withstand transport and crane-setting, they create a tighter, stronger structure that meets or exceeds local wind and impact codes
How much does a modular home cost?
Pricing varies by plan, finishes, and site conditions. Most modular homes range between $150–$200 per sq. ft.. A detailed estimate tailored for your project. will be provided.
Why is building with modular more affordable?
Because much of the work is done in a factory, modular homes save man hours, save time, reduce material waste, and avoid weather delays — translating into real cost and time savings for homeowners.
What financing options are available?
We connect clients with trusted local lenders who specialize in home construction loans. You can use Conventional, FHA, VA, or USDA loans.

BUILDING SMARTER
What Makes Modular Better?
We build modular homes just like traditional, site-built homes. They use factory-built sections, called modules, that we assemble on a foundation using a crane.
This construction technique is simply a different method of building. Modular homes are built to the same state and local building codes as traditional homes, with the added benefit of precision construction and quality control in a climate-controlled factory. It meets the same International Residential building code requirements as site built homes.
Why Modular is Better
Superior Structure: Modular homes use 30% more lumber and feature higher insulation values than traditional stick-built homes. This makes them stronger and more energy-efficient.
Identical Value: They appreciate, gain value, and banks finance, exactly the same way traditional homes are.
Seamless Look: Once we complete the home, you’ll find it extremely difficult to see any difference between a modular home and a traditional site-built home.
Speed of Construction
Modular construction significantly reduces your waiting time. Your home is built in the factory and delivered up to 75% complete. Achieving a finished product in about one- third the time of traditional construction. We build with quality materials and pay careful attention to detail, ensuring you can enjoy your new custom space faster
