Custom modular homes are in fact stronger and more efficient than the traditional stick-built home. After the custom-designed modules are crafted in the factory, the individual modules are transported to the building site. They are then bolted together with a precision fit. We need you to understand this. Bolts are stronger than nails. There simply is no comparison between the strength and rigidity of the custom modular home versus a traditional stick-built home. Our on-site craftsmen apply their traditional trade skills to finish the home, protected by a rock-solid frame.
