Modular Homes seams like a great idea to me particularly as I get daily updates from a friend that is having a house built the traditional site built way. Why drag a bunch of materials and people outside in all kinds of weather to build a home when it can be done in the comfort and order of a factory?

The homes are subject to the same Federal and State building codes and are actually structurally stronger than a site built home as they have to survive delivery on the truck. They are also built faster, to higher quality and are better insulated as the manufacturers can take advantage of equipment in the factory that is not viable in on site.

There are not many houses that cannot be built Modular so you can take your own plans or modify those offered if you do cannot find what you like in one of their existing plans. While wishing for the day I can have my own modular home built I often look the web site for the modular builder close to me. www.altamonthomes.com I'm sure I could find something to make me happy there and one day I'll finish reading this book. Then I just need to find that perfect lot.
