Modular Building

Many of today’s homes include products that are factory made. Modular homes are a simple extension of this practice using the factory setting to add quality, dependability, standardization, and improved performance to the typical site-construction process. PowerHouse homes are assembled from a limited number of modular building blocks that can be configured to address a wide variety of building sites.

Better Quality by Design

Because modular home factories ship to many locations they must comply with national, state and local building codes in the design and construction process. They also must be structurally designed to support over-the-road transport at 55 mph and the final placement using a crane.

Better Quality Construction

By using assembly line techniques, better tools, and precision jigs, modular homes are built as they were designed without less potential for construction errors. The quality of the assembly line is monitored by a state-approved third-party inspection agency to ensure compliance with the building codes. Finally, material defects are minimized because the homes are built in climate-controlled conditions protecting the materials and homes from water damage or freezing before the assembly process is completed.

Dependable and Shorter Delivery Schedule

Because of the climate-controlled environment, modular home construction occurs year-round during all types of weather conditions that would delay on-site construction. Many construction workers would prefer to work under these conditions.
