Prefabricated Home = Faster Occupancy:
After a natural disaster like the Cascade fire; local general contractors and labor are in high demand as thousands of people want to rebuild their homes at the same time. Rebuilding your home using a prefabricated home will shorten the build time as the homes are built in a factory and not dependent on local labor. There are 2 types of prefabricated homes available:
- Modular Homes are built to local building code. Built with same materials and finishes as every other site built home and they are financed, appraised and sold same as a site built home. There are many predesigned floor plans available that will expedite the planning, permitting and construction process.
- Manufactured Homes are built to Federal Code. These homes are faster to build as they are preapproved to build by Federal Government. Manufactured Homes are well built and have hundreds of floor plans and finish options to choose. To help obtain financing and to take on the appearance of every other home in a residential neighborhood we recommend these homes be built on a permanent foundation.
After a disaster like the Cascade Fire in Yuba County, local contractors are overwhelmed with the number of requests to build new homes. At this time, in Yuba County there is a shortage of tradesmen working in the construction field to build the homes ASAP. Having your home assembled in a factory shortens the rebuild time by months and possibly years. Prefabricated Homes built as a Modular Home to local building code or as Manufactured Home to Federal building codes are built using the same materials as site built homes, but are built “stronger and better” as they are built in a climate controlled environment by a team of experienced tradesmen in a matter of weeks, not months or years. By purchasing a prefabricated home permitting will be faster and local contractors will only need to complete site work and foundations – as homes are built off-site in factory.
Off-Site Modular Construction can help you, your family members, friends and acquaintances in your community to get back to the life you knew before the devastating wildfires in Yuba County.
