Customized Structures Featured in National Modular Home Brochure
Claremont, NH- The Modular Building Systems Council has come out with a new resource to educate builders and consumers about the benefits of modular construction. “Modular Homes: The New Face of Home Building”, is a free publication provided nationwide by the Building Systems Council (BSC) of the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) in Washington, DC. The full 16-page resource includes articles with tips on selecting a modular home manufacturer, customizing a modular home, financing a modular home and options in remodeling and modular additions.
The modular construction industry has been gaining ground in homebuilding methods used but still has room for improvement. According to census figures, modular construction accounted for approximately 7% of new home construction in 2005. Many people don’t realize that modular homes are built similarly to site-constructed homes but are constructed in a climate-controlled manufacturing facility by skilled craftsmen using state of the art machinery. Once the completed “modules” are constructed in the factory they are transported to the home site to be assembled and finished. The modular construction process has been known to significantly reduce construction time and save money while still producing a beautiful, high quality, fully engineered and code-compliant home.
Customized Structures of Claremont, a modular manufacturer and active member of the Building Systems Council, appeared on many of the pages of the new brochure. “We think it is great that the industry has produced this brochure to promote the industry. There is a slight stigma attached to modular construction which the Building Systems Council is being proactive about correcting,” said Amanda Gillen, Marketing Director for Customized Structures. The brochure and photographs can be seen on the National Association of Home Builders website at www.nahb.org/modular or you can contact Customized Structures for more information.
