Constructing homes off-site and in a controlled factory allows us to utilize reusing and recycling techniques, inventory and excess control, and humidity control. Each of our customized modular properties is equipped with many energy efficient elements. We use energy efficient Low E windows, fiberglass batt insulation, low flow valves, pex water piping, and many more environmentally friendly options. Our engineers and drafting teams work directly with homeowners and home builders nationwide to make sure that the modular home is LEED Certified at one of the 4 levels of certification.
