FACTS & QUESTIONS
What Are Site Built Homes?
They are constructed entirely at the building site.
They conform to all state, local or regional codes where the house is located.
Often called 'stick-built' houses.
A well-built, cared for site-built home generally increases in value over time,
although its location plays a key role in value.
What is a modular home?
Modular homes are built in sections in a factory setting, indoors, where they are
never subjected to adverse weather conditions. The sections move through the
factory, with the company's quality control department checking them after every
step and then final inspection by an Independent outside inspection agency.
Finished modules are covered for protection, then transported to your home site.
They are placed on a pre-made foundation, joined, and completed. A well-built
modular home should have the same longevity as its site-built counterpart,
increasing in value over time.
How long does it take to build a modular home?
That depends on your design and the manufacturer, but some modular homes
can be built in the factory in as little as 1-2 weeks. And since modulars are
built indoors, there's never a weather delay. It usually takes another 2 weeks
to complete the home once it's delivered to the building site.
Don't all modular homes look alike?
No, and unless you were there to see the house delivered and assembled,
you might not guess it's a modular home. Modular home manufacturers use
computer aided design programs to draw plans to your specifications,
or to modify one of their standard plans to suit your needs, so nearly
any home plan can be turned into a modular home.
Why is 21st Century Homes & Structures Different?
TURNKEY! Unlike other modular products, items like furnaces, outlets, appliances,
carpeting and even front steps are included. You just turn on the light switch
and enjoy your new home or commercial building. No extra pennies and dimes
outside of your upgrade requirements. All standard equipment comes
with manufacturer warrantees. Check out our features. PLUS, our buildings are
like no other modular in strength due to the steel core interior integrity. We use
one-time used shipping containers for our 10 core steel frame. Review how we
measure up. Visit our Company Standards, and Comparison Fact Sheet or
Before & After 20 Years and watch a unit being placed!. We promise you'll be
impressed.
Will banks finance a modular home?
Yes. Most banks, appraisers, and insurance companies treat modular homes the
same way they do site built homes --a house that's constructed entirely on your
property. Ask the mortgage brokers and banks in your area to explain how they
finance modular homes. We are affiliated with several regional financing
companies to also assist you. Contact us to inquire about NY affiliated companies.
Can I save money by building a modular home?
Construction costs for a modular home are less per square foot than for a
similar site-built home. And there are other cost-saving features:
Many modular homes are very energy efficient, which helps reduce your
heating and cooling costs.
Your home will probably be ready to move into much sooner than if you wait
for a builder to construct a house on-site.
If you think modulars are ho-hum, you're in for a pleasant surprise.
Do You Need an Architect?
No - most modular manufactures all ready have drawings. However, we do
have an architect in-house to assist you in the event you have extra needs.
