	Custom-Built Lifestyle Homes (also known as Factory-Built Homes)
		For the same reasons Ford builds cars in a factory rather than in your garage, Factory-Built Housing is the wave of the future. Whether you are an individual home buyer, a contractor, a home builder, or a developer there are many reasons you should consider factory-built housing. Our Custom-Built Lifestyle Homes are either: Manufactured Homes or Modular Homes and they are built in a factory. Definitions: Manufactured Homes are built entirely in the factory under federal code administered by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). They are single or multi-section homes. Regulations include: design & construction, strength & durability, transportability, fire resistance, energy efficiency & quality. Modular Homes are built in a factory and transported in sections to the site. They are built to the Uniform Building Code (UBC) and comply with all local building, plumbing, mechanical and electrical codes to which site-built homes must comply. They differ from manufactured homes in that they can be delivered without being in a complete living structure and they are not on a steel foundation. They are appraised on the same basis as a site-built home and, as such, are easier to finance. Why Use Factory-Built Homes? Whether you are an individual purchasing a home for your family or a Home Builder or a Developer or a Contractor, Factory-Built Homes offer many advantages. One of every 10 homes built in the Northeast are Factory-Built and the West is beginning to catch on. • State of the art construction and design; can be customized to your exact requirements • Meets or exceeds all codes • FEMA says Modular Homes withstand wind best • Build any size project: Residential Homes, Condos, Apartments, Offices • Cash not tied up in construction • Green Construction techniques Advantages of Factory-Built Construction over Site-Built Construction: • Not subject to adverse weather conditions during construction • Faster building times; built on assembly line • Non-skilled labor becomes expert labor by doing repetitive tasks • Tighter joints; use of jigs to construct the floor, walls, and ceilings guarantees uniformity • Inspection at every assembly station to achieve quality results • Name brands used; bought in bulk to achieve lowest possible cost • Faster delivery times; money not tied up during a lengthy construction period • Delivers solid *$$$ value $$$* and STRESSLESS installations Lower cost to the Individual Home Buyers because of advantages realized by Home Builders, Developers, and Contractors • The foundation and the home can be built at the same time • Detailed foundation plans are supplied by the factory guaranteeing a perfect fit • Agreement on floor plan and options before factory construction eliminates change orders and provides assurance the home is built the way the customer wants it • Appliances are installed at the factory speeding up occupancy and eliminating on-site installation problems • No cost overruns due to weather, lack of materials, or workers that don’t show up • Elimination of material theft that usually takes place during on-site construction • Lower insurance costs due to faster on-site construction • Kiln dried lumber shipped to factory wrapped in waterproof covering eliminates any concerns about warping during construction and delivery • The Factory Warranty covers any structural repairs that may be required to the home • Result: solid *$$$ value $$$* and STRESSLESS installations
