Modular Home Myths

Modular Construction Fact

From excavation to completion, modular construction takes months less than site built construction. The difference isn’t in the quality of work being done. It’s in our ability to work smarter and more efficiently. Once permits and approvals are submitted, your builder begins site preparation and foundation work. Our craftsmen simultaneously construct your home. All that’s left after that is on-site finish work and for you to walk through the front door.

How Long Does It Take?

Building New vs. Buying Existing

Modular Construction Fact

Ritz-Craft homes are built in climate-controlled facilities. As a result, the wood and building materials used to construct your home are kept safe from unpredictable weather elements, like rain, snow, and wind. Unlike an on-site built home, this stops wood from getting wet mid-construction, which reduces the opportunity for future mold issues that can occur because of the construction process.

Modular Construction Fact

Our homes are constructed with transportation and setting processes in mind. This means stronger materials and fasteners are attached to prepare for the setting process, and any future stressors your home may endure, including mother nature’s.

How Our Homes Are Assembled

Modular Construction Fact

In our Ritz-Craft factories, you have more options for insulation and air infiltration reduction compared to the on-site home building process. Because walls are built as freestanding elements, our craftsmen have a 360-degree visual around the wall to apply gaskets around outlets, add foam and sealant where the floor meets the wall and where walls join together. Once we have these potential air infiltration areas fully sealed, the total R-value needed for insulation is reduced due to our tighter building envelope.

System-Built Basics

Modular Construction Fact

Many of our builders are turnkey builders. So, they’re by your side through every step of the process, including hiring subcontractors to excavate, pour foundation, drill well, install septic, pave your driveway, and more. When you’re handed the key to walk through your front door, it’s move-in ready.
