When choosing a house plan, one of the first things to determine is how many bedrooms you need. Then you can decide on the number of bathrooms, how many stories, size of kitchen, how many other rooms, and whether or not you want a garage. These are the fundamentals, but planning a good design involves more than just plugging in rooms to fill an open space. Function and aesthetics are also important considerations. You want there to be a comfortable flow from one space to another, and easy access to the most used spaces. In addition to this, you will want to keep in mind how the interior lines up with the exterior. For example, how a window placed in a room will line up on the exterior in relation to the other windows.

MODULAR HOMES : Efficiency above all ! It is possible to have a quality built home whether you use modular construction or have your home stick built. With modular homes, you can get just as good of quality construction, if not better, at a lower cost. The quality of modular home construction is due to how the units are built, and where they are built. Because they are built in a factory, modular homes have an advantage over site built homes. They are not exposed to the climate and weather. Keeping building materials indoors keeps them dry. Moisture in wood causes many problems. One issue with lumber getting wet is that it can start to grow mold and mildew, even after the walls are closed up, when no one would notice. This compromises the air quality in your home. Another issue created by damp wood is that as it slowly dries, it shrinks and warps causing more drywall cracks and other “settling” issues. Modular construction greatly reduces these issues by building indoors and not exposing materials to rain, snow, high humidity, and other weather conditions that have a damaging effect on construction and construction materials. The assembly line construction of a modular home makes it less likely for details to be overlooked. Workers in each area cover a specific set of tasks, instead of a crew that needs to remember all of the details. This attention to detail is what improves the quality of modular construction. It is also one of the reasons modular homes are “tighter” built and more energy efficient. Details such as caulking the seams in all exterior plywood are not usually done on stick built homes. Modular construction is an excellent way to save money if you do a little planning ahead of time. Modular technology lends itself to efficient construction. The efficiency and reliable time lines of modular construction can save you time, money, and stress. When comparing costs between modular homes and stick built homes of comparable designs and site conditions, you will find that modular homes can save you anywhere from 5%- 30%. The savings are due to the efficiency of production, material costs, and problems avoided by indoor production. For more information please visit www.modularhomeassociation.org

Using modular units to build overseas is a growing industry. It is an especially useful method of construction in locations where access to quality building materials is unreliable, or non-existent. They are ideal for projects such as building schools in remote villages, or for speedy construction of a hotel in a foreign city experiencing a rapid growth in tourism. Using modular construction for international projects also reduces confusion over building techniques and the dependency on local labor.
