Factory constructed homes generate less waste, produces fewer site disturbances, and allow for increased energy efficiency.

On site environmental disturbances are greatly reduced due to the majority of the construction process taking place in a controlled factory environment.

Less Material Waste

Building in a controlled environment dramatically reduces waste through enhanced inventory controls, protected building materials, and increased recycling.

Improved Air Quality

Tighter Construction

The controlled factory setting allows for more precise construction with less gaps and drafts for an overall tighter home resulting in increased energy efficiency and reduced energy consumption.

Faster

Prefabricated construction occurs simultaneously with site work allowing projects to be completed in up to half the time of traditional site built homes.

Shorter Construction Schedule

Prefabricated construction can occur simultaneously with site construction which reduces the overall project timeline by 30%-50% compared to traditional construction methods.

Elimination of Weather Delays

Climate controlled factories eliminate weather delays as 60%-90% of construction is typically completed indoors.

Potential Monetary Savings

Shorter build times can reduce overall expenses and provide an opportunity for monetary savings over the course of construction.

Stronger

Prefabricated construction is subject to the same minimum building codes as site built homes, but are generally stronger than conventional construction because each module is engineered to independently withstand the rigors of transportation and craning onto foundations.

Materials

Building in a controlled factory setting allows for increased quality management. Building materials are delivered and stored indoors to prevent deterioration from moisture and inclement weather.

Inspections

Typically, prefabricated homes are inspected more rigorously than traditional site built homes resulting in a higher quality build. In addition to state and local building inspections, each module is inspected throughout the build process providing the most stringent quality assurance and quality control measures possible. Conversely, site built homes may only be subjected to one or two inspections over the course of an entire build.

Design

The module-to-module design of prefabricated housing provides increased structural integrity than traditional stick built homes. According to a study by FEMA studying the effects of Hurricane Andrew, engineered homes are “inherently rigid systems” that perform “much better than residential framing” during severe weather.
