HandCrafted
Homes specializes in off-site, stick-built homes.
To find out why they are better, read below.
| The
Definition of Building Systems |
| A highly engineered method of producing building components
in an efficient and cost-effective way. Stick-built homes
are one example of a building system. They actually begin
as components designed, engineered and assembled in the
controlled environment of a modern manufacturing plant.
It is when these components are assembled by the builder
on the site that the modular components become a home.
|
| The
Construction Process |
| The building process begins at the design phase. HandCrafted
Homes uses state-of-the-art technology to assist in customizing
floor plans and producing drawings and material requirement
lists. Once the house plan is designed, the building process
begins. This process is similar to traditional site-built
construction because the quality of materials and building
codes are the exact same.
So why is off-site, stick-built home construction better?
Work is never delayed by weather, subcontractor no-shows
or missing material. Quality engineering and modular
construction techniques significantly increase the energy
efficiency of your house and the quality control process
provides 100% assurance that your home has been inspected
for code compliance and workmanship. The homes are inspected
at the plant during each phase of construction. Consumers
can move into their houses anywhere from 6 to 8 weeks
after signing the contract compared to conventional
site-built homes which range anywhere from 6 months
to a year. [top

| The
Difference Between Off-Site, Stick-Built Homes and Manufactured
Homes |
| Manufactured homes, sometimes referred to as mobile
homes, HUD Code homes or trailers, are another type of
building system and are constructed to a different building
standard. This standard-unlike conventional building codes-requires
manufactured homes to be constructed on a non-removable
steel chassis. Many residential neighborhoods have restrictions
on where manufactured homes can be placed. Modular and
site-built homes are constructed to the same building
code as required by the state governments and therefore
are NOT restricted by building or zoning regulations.

| The
Appearance of HandCrafted Homes |
| Modern technology has enabled modular developers to
create any style of house or commercial building. modular
construction can be designed anywhere from a ranch to
very contemporary, to Victorian era homes. Visit our Photo
Gallery to view a variety of homes built by HandCrafted
Homes. Builders are also focusing more and more on modular
construction for banks, hotels, schools, office buildings
and restaurants because they can build faster with less
skilled labor and have buildings up in less than 2 months.
