What are SYSTEM BUILT homes?
SYSTEM-BUILT homes incorporate the most advanced developments, design,
engineering and technology of site building and the modular construction
industry into the home building process.
ENTERMOD Homes are constructed
using a combination of the latest construction technology and computer
technology. Under our SYSTEM-BUILT program, every ENTERMOD home design is analyzed to determine the best and most cost-effective
manner to construct the home while maintaining the utmost level of customization.
The homeowner can finally get exactly what he or she wants while benefiting
from the structural and economic advantages associated with SYSTEM-BUILT
construction.
What is a building system?
Simply put, a building system is a highly engineered method of producing
buildings or building components in an efficient and cost-effective
manner. The use of building systems is common in many different types
of residential and commercial construction. A modular home is the culmination
of one type of building system. ENTERMOD Homes are actually built with standard construction materials such as 2x4’s
and 2x8’s. The home is designed, engineered, and assembled in
an indoor controlled environment that is secure and weather controlled.
Your home is delivered and erected on your building site and final construction
is completed. This is your new home for you and your family.
Tell me more about the SYSTEM-BUILT construction
process.
ENTERMOD Home construction process is the standard
of efficiency and quality assurance. We use state-of-the-art computer-assisted
design stations which aids in customizing floor plans and producing
drawings and material requirement lists. Once your home has been designed,
the construction process begins. Our modern construction process is
similar to what you’ve seen during the construction of other homes
in your neighborhood. The same quality materials are used, the
same care for detail is followed, and the same building codes and standards
are observed. What’s different? Efficiency and quality control.
Efficiency begins with our modern factory assembly line techniques.
Your home travels to workstations, such as plumbing, electrical, drywall,
painting carpet etc. Your homes construction is never delayed by weather,
subcontractor no-shows, or missing materials. In addition, quality engineering
and modern construction techniques significantly increase the energy
efficiency of your SYSTEM-BUILT home.
How long does it take to build my home?
Speed and consistent quality are two of the many advantages
of SYSTEM-BUILT construction. On average, a home consisting of two modules
will be factory-processed in six or seven days. Once the manufacturing
process is complete, with interior finish right down to carpets and
wall finish, the unit must be transferred to the building site and placed
on its foundation. Final home completion is usually handled by ENTERMOD
Homes or a local builder or general contractor and includes
connection of utilities to your home. Normally, a modular home is completed
in six to eight weeks after setup.
I get confused when I see the terms “manufactured
home” and “SYSTEM-BUILT home.” What’s the difference?
“Manufactured homes,” often referred to
as mobile homes or trailers, represent an entirely different type of
building system than SYSTEM-BUILT homes and are constructed to a different
building standard. This standard, the Federal Construction Safety Standards
Act (HUD/CODE), unlike conventional building codes, requires manufactured
homes to be constructed on a non-removable steel chassis. Many communities
have placed restrictions on where manufactured homes may be located.
Unlike manufactured homes, however, SYSTEM BUILT homes are constructed
to the building codes required by your state, county, and specific locality
and are not restricted by building or zoning regulations. ENTERMOD
Homes are inspected during every phase of construction, and
evidence of this inspection is normally indicated by a state or inspection
agency label of approval.
Can I design my own SYSTEM-BUILT home instead of using
a standard home plan?
Yes! , you have complete design flexibility. I know that SYSTEM-BUILT
homes are built to the same codes as site-built homes. Is financing
any different? There is no distinction between SYSTEM-BUILT
homes and site-built homes as far as appraisal or financing. Banks and
lending institutions treat both types of construction in the same manner.
Likewise, there is no difference in insuring the home or property.
What do SYSTEM-BUILT homes look like?
SYSTEM-BUILT homes look like any other home. Today’s
modern construction technology has allowed manufacturers to specialize
in homes ranging from small simple designs to highly customized contemporary
houses. And, construction doesn't stop with houses. We also build banks,
schools, office buildings, and hotels. Chances are you’ve been
in many SYSTEM-BUILT structures and not even realized it. See
our homes
Do SYSTEM BUILT homes cost less than site built?
Yes, The cost per square foot is generally less and when you add up
all the labor, material, and time saved the savings really add up.
How about quality?
The exacting standards of skilled labor working in a controlled environment
allows for a better quality home compared to the traditional way. System
Built Homes are engineered for a lifetime of structural Durability.
