WHY BUILD A CARDINAL MODULAR / SYSTEMS BUILT HOME?

What is a modular Home? Modular homes are built in factories, using an assembly line production process. The modular home can be built while work is being done on your building lot to prepare for it. In regular site built homes you could not begin construction on your house until all site preparation had been finished.

Why choose pre-built components versus traditional stick building? Each pre-built component gives contractors and framers the ability to save time, and in the end, money!

  • Weather is not a factor in construction delays and does not damage materials while they are unprotected on the job site
  • Materials and components are rarely stolen from the job site
  • There is less waste, which means a cleaner, safer working environment. This reduces the need for trash disposal and results in a cost savings on wood and other materials.
  • Warranty callbacks and complaints are reduced, because materials are hand selected for quality during the assembly process.
  • Reliable pricing makes it easier to estimate total cost of project up-front
  • Lessened on-site labor and on-site costs to construct home
  • Third Party Inspections and approvals leads to reduced on-site inspections

What are the differences between Modular, Mobile and Manufactured Homes? While searching for a new home, you'll hear the terms site built, modular, and manufactured. It's important to become familiar with the differences between these structures so you can make sure you make the right decision with the correct information for your home buying needs.
