A Modular/Systems Built Home is "stick built!" In fact, the building materials and methods used are equal to or better than other stick built (site built) homes. Because Modular/Systems Built Homes are built in a controlled indoor environment, they can maintain a greater degree of control and consistency over their quality. An independent, third party inspection agency, insures your home is built according to state and national building codes.

The only difference between modular and site-built homes is the building method. Modular homes are built in sections at a factory and then transported to the home site. Site-built homes are built entirely on location.

Ritz-Craft modular homes are constructed in a climate controlled environment using state of the art engineering and assembly line techniques. Ritz-Craft uses the same brand name building materials and builds to the same building code requirements as any local "stick builder". State or independent third party inspectors carefully inspect each home we build.

While the home site is being prepared, your home is being built. Parallel versus sequential construction means you move in faster! Remember, systems built homes are not manufactured or "mobile" homes. They're just like site built homes except they're less expensive and can be delivered faster.

quot;Standard" fiberglass insulation has the ability to settle, allow air infiltration and can actually allow for air circulation within the wall, thus reducing the actual "R" factor of the wall. The SIP's we use in BAI Homes offer an "R" factor of 22. Ther is no settling and no air infiltration, so this is a "real" and fixed "R" factor.

Pinnacle and Ritz-Craft modular homes are constructed in a climate controlled environment using state of the art engineering and assembly line techniques. They use the same brand name building materials and they build to the same building code requirements as any local "stick builder". State or independent third party inspectors carefully inspect each home we build.

We have found we are typically about 15-20% less than site-builder's. Using our Assisted Building Program, we've had client's save more than 30% below appraised value. Also; if a site builder under estimates his cost, he has two choices: (1) Ask the homeowner to pay the additional charges or (2) cut his expenses. This may lead to using an inferior product or "cutting corners" on quality. Either way the homeowner is penalized.

Manufactured homes, sometimes referred to as mobile homes, are built to the HUD Code, a national code for manufactured housing. The HUD Code, unlike conventional state building codes used by modular home manufacturers and site builders, requires manufactured homes to be built on non-removable steel chassis. Many neighborhoods exclude manufactured homes but accept modular homes because they are built to the same code as site-built homes.

A modular home is built in a controlled environment. Weather is not a factor during construction. (The weather is always perfect for building at Pittsville Homes). Also, because there is less onsite time of the home from start to completion, there is less chance of theft of materials on the jobsite. The walls, floors and roofs are constructed on jigs to make sure that they are all constructed square and that they will all fit together.

Quality is not compromised whatsoever in your Pre-Built Home. In fact, because much of the construction is done in our facility with continual oversight, quality control is much tighter than in most traditional construction.

It means just what it sounds like! Your home is built in our climate-controlled factory in Morewood, Ontario. As much work as possible is completed in your home prior to shipping, including the electrical, plumbing, and ventilation systems. This ensures better quality control and a more intact air barrier than contractors can achieve when they construct a home on the building site.

A factory built housing unit built prior to June 15, 1976, before the Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Code came into effect (example: 1975 singlewide or doublewide home). A factory built housing unit built to meet or exceed the Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Code that came into effect June 15, 1976 (example: 1976 singlewide or doublewide home built after June 15th).

The #1 Reason: More Value and Home for your buying dollar! We know that you are a savvy consumer and that you want to maximize your buying dollar on the single largest investment of your life. We think Modular construction is the wave of the future. Systems Built homes are built under controlled conditions, out of the weather, using the finest materials available.

A modular home has many advantages over site built homes in terms of quality. For example, a modular home is constructed is constructed inside a modern quality controlled environment, sheltered from the wind and rain. Also, quality control is maintained by constant inspection throughout the entire construction process. Furthermore, a modular home is engineered with precision for a lifetime of trouble-free structural durability.

First, the use of SIP's provides a much sturdier exterior wall - approximately 2 1/2 times stronger, in fact. And, of course, the energy efficiency is far, far superior to standard 2x4 or 2x6 construction - usually averaging up to a 50% to 60% savings on your energy bills.

Specializing in customized single-, double-, triple-wide, and modular mobile manufactured housing with handicap accessible options.

a. EXPEDITIOUSNESS The completion time of a modular-built house project is dramatically faster than a comparative site-built project. A typical 3000 sq. ft. house will go through factory in five to six weeks, and, once the modules are installed on foundation, the on-site finish work should typically be another 6 to 8 weeks. b. QUALITY A systems-built modular house is built in factory under much more scrutiny for quality assurance than its site-built comparative.

YES. Because Modular/Systems Built Homes are built from "the inside out," they have access to areas that a site builder does not. An example, electrical outlets and drywall are applied prior to the exterior sheathing; they can be caulked around the electrical outlets to prevent air infiltration. This is just one of the many energy efficient features of a Modular/Systems Built Home.

off-site built home has many advantages over site-built homes in terms of quality. An off-site built home is constructed inside a controlled environment, sheltered from wind, rain or any acts by God thereof unforeseen. The quality control is maintained by consistent inspection throughout the entire construction process. An Off-Site built home is engineered with precision for a lifetime of trouble free structural durability.

SunSuites™ Sunrooms are professionally installed in less time and with less disruption than "stick-built" additions. They can also be more cost-effective than additions built with traditional materials and methods.

It will save you big dollars! You will have a superior structure when you incorporate QB Technology components. We must consider the environment. The steel and EPS are fully recyclable. When you consider the waste on the typical job site, you can see the value of using QB Technology as costs are skyrocketing for landfill dump fees.

Ritz-Craft homes are constructed in a climate controlled environment using state of the art engineering and assembly line techniques. Ritz-Craft uses the same brand name building materials and builds to the same building code requirements as any local “on-site builder”. State or independent third party inspectors carefully inspect each home we build.

You'll find the quality is typically better than a cell phone and usually as good as a landline. You may experience some hiccups in sound quality if your broadband connection is running slowly or if your bandwidth is stretched with additional data (sending or receiving files from your PC at the same time). Three-way calling may also cause some disruptions if your modem speed is not at least 180 kbps.

The Companion system is a fully digital wireless system that achieves near wire-line sound quality. Users are often surprised to discover that its sound quality is indistinguishable from that of a conventional desk phone.

In modular systems, the green roof system is installed inside trays. While modules or trays have valid applications in intensive green roof designs, we do not advocate the use of modules or trays in extensive green roofs. Modular systems require the same attention to basic green roof design principles as all other green roof systems, including: quality and durability of the waterproofing system, performance of the media, minimization of irrigation requirements, appropriate plant selection, etc.

It has received praise for being as good as or better than commercial alternatives. For example, see http://www.eweek.com/article2/0,3959,652977,00.asp

Yes, better precision with machine tools in the factory environment, in addition gypsum board panels are foam bonded to wall and ceiling framing as well as screw fastened. The use of oversized gypsum board panels avoids but end seems common in site building. In addition the home is over-designed structurely to withstand the rigors of shipping. The redundant in the structural systems provides many other benefits one of which is reduced sound transmission between floors.

Just about anyone! Since these homes are built to the same codes as stick-built homes, most banks and lending institutions treat both types of construction the same. In fact, some financiers have established departments specifically for systems-built homes. Similarly, there is no difference in insuring a systems-built property.
