Typically in Shreveport, each module is inspected on the production line, and once more by a third party state inspector (specific to where the home will be built), and finally on the build site by the local building inspector. Very few systems are similarly imposed with a traditional home. Typically, manufacturers require a large deposit prior to beginning work on your home and will want final payment upon delivery or right after. We have several loan programs available to finance modular home construction, depending on the customer's qualifications, owner-builder or use of a GC, and down payments desired.
Building Safety Week in the United States is May 5 - 11, 2008, to promote the achievements and benefits of building and fire protection codes. I’ll bet some readers right now are rolling their eyes at what appears to be another marketing ploy of creating a “recognized” day of the year (in this case an entire week) to get you to buy something. Building material is also safe from inclement weather and robbery. Much less waste is generated in small modular home construction in Shreveport than in traditional methods.
Modular components are typically constructed within a large indoor facility on assembly lines much like Henry Ford originally instituted with his automobile company. Such facilities use an assembly line track to move the modules from one workstation to the next. Modular home manufacturers apply those efficiencies to the home building industry. Each worker in the modular plant has been trained to do a particular job and through experience, has become an expert in that one aspect of home construction. Modular producers are busy building banks, schools, office buildings, motels and hotels. Chances are you've been in many modular structures and probably never realized it.
