Modular homes are built in factories,
using an assembly line production process. Your new 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.
Each
pre-built component saves time, and in the end, money!
- Cardinal's indoor production facility keeps
materials safe and dry during the construction
process of your home.
- Because Cardinal's homes are almost 80%
complete once weather tight, pilferage is
less likely at your home site.
- Cardinal recycles as many materials as possible.
Overall this means a better and cleaner environment.
Cardinal's building system also creates less
waste at your home site which reduces the
need for unnecessary trash disposal and results
in a cost savings on wood, landfill use and
other materials.
- Cardinal's consistent quality control measures
in receiving materials and throughout the
production process helps ensure a high quality
home for your Builder to complete.
- Cycle times are reduced by building with
Cardinal homes so you are more likely to close
your loans quicker and that will save valuable
interest dollars.
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.

The hallways are wider, doorways
are wider, closets are complete
with bi-fold doors rather than
standard swinging doors and
there's expanded space in bathrooms.
Easy access bathrooms, thoughtful
kitchen details and many other
attributes make Better Living
perfect sense for your future.
(some closets will still
have pass through doors but
bi-fold doors provide easier
access when space is an issue)
