Building modular, off-site constructed homes allows for substantial cost savings in almost every area of the building and financing process. Here’s how:
• Bulk Material Purchases: Our manufacturing partners purchase lumber and brand name materials in huge quantities resulting in lower cost.
• Controlled Environment: A clean indoor plant, avoiding inclement weather, results in greater labor efficiencies which lowers costs.
• Less Material Waste: Recycling plus warehousing our materials in a secure environment, with protection from weather and job site theft, lower cost.
• Manufacturing Technology: Precision equipment and efficient material handling result in more accurate construction with fewer mistakes and lower cost.
• Quality Control: Our homes are built to the appropriate building code required by each state, inspected by both Crest and independent third party inspection agencies. This results in fewer construction errors and lower costs.
• Construction Time Period: Since our homes are delivered to the job site about 75 percent complete, total construction time is greatly reduced, incurring less interest and quicker occupancy.
• House Plans: Our manufacturers provide the necessary plans for building permits and complete construction without requiring an architect, lowering costs.
• Financing Cost: Quicker construction time with fewer interest charges result in less cost.
All of our modular homes comply with the International Residential Code (I.R.C.) as well as the National Electrical Code. These are the same state and local building codes that your local site builders have to comply with. All of our manufactured homes comply with the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) code.
All homes placed on private property are inspected by a variety of state and/or local inspectors to verify quality and proper job completion.
At the factory, each of our homes are inspected by an independent third party inspection agency to see that they conform to each state’s building code. Each home undergoes rigid quality control inspections and testing from framing to final finishing details including electrical, mechanical and plumbing systems.
Your energy cost will depend greatly on where you live, what type of heating (natural gas, propane, electric, or geothermal) you purchase, and your life style. Each one of our homes is built with energy conservation in mind. Come in and visit with us and let us show you our energy saving features.
Your safety is first and foremost in our product development. Every off-site manufactured or modular home has built-in safety features to protect you and your family and includes the following features:
• All of our homes are built to meet the state and local building codes and are inspected by an internal quality assurance department, an independent third party agency, and by state inspectors.
• Smoke detectors are supplied for all bedroom areas as well as for each living level according to National Electric Code. All smoke detectors are hardwired interconnected with battery backup. When one smoke detector goes off, they all go off.
• Ground fault protection is provided for all kitchen, bathroom, and exterior receptacles as per National Electric Code.
• All copper wiring and circuit breaker electrical control panels.
• Dead bolt locks are supplied on all exterior doors.
• Anti-scald control valves are supplied on all tubs and showers
• All bedroom windows are sized to meet egress requirements.
With site-built construction, contractors do not really “build” a home, they assemble componants like we do. Site-builders purchase building components (i.e. roof trusses, studs, floor joists, OSB decking, windows, doors, cabinets, drywall, shingles, electrical wire, bath fixtures, floor coverings, etc.) from local building supply companies that ship these materials to the individual job sites for assembly. At each job site, the materials they use are exposed to weather, theft, and vandalism.
In contrast, our modular manufacturing partners purchase brand name materials direct from the suppliers in large quantities and assemble them in their production facility under controlled conditions, out of the weather. Using sophisticated cutting equipment, precision jigs, and overhead cranes to assemble components, the craftsmen that build your home have the benefit of working under “ideal conditions” resulting in efficient and timely construction of your new home.
