Many potential homeowners are concerned about the level of quality you get with modular homes and want to hear what I think.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It\u2019s simple; as with any build, the quality of your modular or site-built home will depend on the skill of the builder.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I work with builders who do on-site builds, as well as those who create modular homes. No matter which method of build you opt for, always choose a quality builder you can trust, and you\u2019ll have a home that is safe, strong and secure.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">If you\u2019re building a new home and aren\u2019t sure which one is right for you, let\u2019s break down the differences between a modular build and a on site build.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>On-site builds<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">If you\u2019ve seen some of my shows, you\u2019re familiar with on-site builds, like my Ultimate Garage and Lien On Me. In an on-site build, you pour a foundation and assemble the home, starting from the frame, right on the property.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">These projects are a group effort between you, your builders and their team. Because you\u2019re working with a dedicated team, you can customize a home that\u2019s unique to your tastes. After you\u2019ve worked with your builder to ensure your home will be well-protected and strong, the only thing that will keep you from the finishes you want is your budget.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">One drawback to think about with a site-built home: weather can affect construction can be affected by the weather. Your materials are exposed to the elements \u2014 and that could lead to schedule delays, or materials being damaged if left unprotected during the rain or snow.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">These concerns are easily avoidable. Make sure you\u2019re researching any builder carefully \u2014 there are a lot of good ones out there who know how to navigate any potential areas of concern and make your build project a success.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Modular homes<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">When someone mentions a modular home, often the image that comes to mind is a trailer home. Truth be told, you\u2019ve probably seen a modular home and didn\u2019t even know it. Good-quality modular homes can look like a house that\u2019s built on site. The term modular defines the style of building practice \u2014 and not its look.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">A modular home is built indoors, in a controlled environment. Modules are separate sections that get built, then transported to the property site, set on the existing foundation and assembled into a complete home.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">When the build process is taken indoors in a controlled environment, you can end up with a stronger structure because materials aren\u2019t left exposed which can lead to issues of warping, insects or mould.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Building modular doesn\u2019t mean a sacrifice in quality. If you\u2019re using a reputable builder, they will be using building techniques to create homes that are as safe and strong as an on-site build. What I love about modular building as that you\u2019ll typically generate less waste than an on site build.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Building in a controlled environment can see your construction being completed much more quickly. Some homes can even be move-in ready in as little as six months.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">While you will have a great deal of control over the layout and finishes of a modular home, it won\u2019t be to quite the same level as you would get by working with a dedicated builder team, working on one house at a time.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Now that you\u2019ve got a couple of options to consider, you may find that your next build project may take a different form than you thought. Whichever style of home you go with, always choose a reputable builder. Once you\u2019ve hired someone trustworthy, you\u2019re sure to build a home that is safe, strong, and will last.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/news.nationalpost.com\/homes\/mike-holmes-building-a-home-that-best-suits-your-style\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Mike Holmes : Building A Home That Best Suits Your Style<\/a> | National Post<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>People often ask me what I think of the modular building process versus what you would see in a traditional on-site build.
