Hawaii Modular
Home
Modular houses are one's that are constructed in factories.
They are then taken and assembled at the job site. These
homes are not the same as mobile homes. Site-built and modular
are both stick built homes.
Site-built homes are subject to bad weather. This causes
delays and can make the whole building process take much
longer than anticipated.
Mobile homes are completely factory made and are built
on a non-removable steel chasis. They are much cheaper than
modular or site-built homes and do not appreciate in value.
Modular homes are built in sections. They adhere to all
local and state codes for building. Once the building of
a modular home is complete, they are shipped in sections
and put together at the housing site by a crane. The foundation
has already been made while the modular home was being built.
Modular homes in Hawaii have many advantages. This is why
their popularity has increased so much over the last 5 years.
Modular homes tend to be 10 to 30 percent cheaper than site-built
homes. Manufacturers by their materials in bulk and can
past the savings on to the builder and consumer. When you
manufacture indoors you don't experience any of the typical
things that on-site builders do like rain and snow. You
also encounter theft and vandalism in site-built homes.
This is not a problem with modular home construction. Waste
is also a consideration and there is much less of it in
an assembly line setting. |
