What Is A Modular Home?

The building process begins at the design phase. ProBuilt Homes uses the most state of the art computer aided design programs that aid in customizing floor plans that produce drawings and material requirement lists. Once designed, the building process begins. This process is similar to what you have seen during the construction of houses in your neighborhood. The quality materials and care for detail, and the same building codes and standards are observed. As you can see, today's modular homes are models of efficiency and quality assurance.

How Long Does The Building Process Take?

Speed and consistent quality are two of the many advantages for choosing ProBuilt modular housing. On the average, a home consisting of two sections will be built in the factory within a couple of weeks. Once the manufacturing process is complete, typically with interior finish right down to carpets and wall finish, the unit must be transported to your home site and placed on the foundation. Completion is usually handled by a local builder or general contractor and includes connection of utilities to the home, and a short list of finish work. Normally the home is completed in two or three weeks.
