Modular Homes vs. Traditional Construction

Traditional Construction

There are quite a few advantages of modular over traditional stick built construction.  Both are equal when it comes to quality however.

Benefits of Modular Construction

  1. Modular homes are built indoors in a controlled environment inside.  Since modular homes are built in a factory, all materials are not exposed to the elements like with stick built construction and all carpenters are working in a climate controlled work place.
  2. Modular is faster.  From order placement, a modular home can be set on its new foundation in as little as 6 weeks.  There are some things that need to be done on your lot, but depending on how elaborate you can be moving in just a few weeks after it is set.
  3. All walls are built standard with 2” x 6” construction.  This is not only stronger, but allows us to install R-21 insulation on all exterior walls.  R-38 is standard in all ceilings.  For a traditional construction R-13 is standard on walls and R-30 for ceilings.
  4. Since each modular section or mod is built in a block like fashion, this allows for added space between floors, which aids in floor-to-floor noise reduction.  This block built construction also makes the home much stronger to hold up to the forces of nature.
  5. Price.  Since modular homes are built in a controlled environment, with no weather related delays and factory production inefficiencies, the price is often as much as 30% less than conventional construction.
  6. Anything built conventional can be built as modular.  At LT Construction LLC , we can build any home design as modular.  So there is no compromise on design selection.  If you do not see a design you like on our site, we can provide pricing on any design you have.  Any design is also fully customizable to meet your needs and desires.  So there is no limit as to what can be built as modular.
