How a modular home is constructed – Part 1 (Floors)
Have you ever wondered how modular units come together to become a quality built home? In the next series of blogs, we will be pulling back the curtain, so to speak, and educating you on what specifically happens behind the scenes in the building of a modular home. In these blogs, we will be taking you through our factory one production stage at a time to discuss the specifics of how a modular home is built.
A modular home is built via what is called a Building System. A “Building System” is simply a systematic approach to constructing homes. Experienced craftsmen build homes inside a modular home production facility. These components are called units, sections or modules. These units later come together at the jobsite to complete a fully functional and beautiful new home. Modular units generally range between 14 and 16 feet in width and can command over 60 feet in length. Please note that widths may vary according to the modular home manufacturer.
We will begin with floors. Floors are built simultaneously with walls and roof systems. Those stages will be discussed in upcoming blog postings.
