Essentially the factory builds your home based on your specifications taking into account your local building codes. However, they always use about 33% more structural material in the building process to make it possible for the modular sections to be transported to your building site and set with a crane without any damages whatsoever.

In addition, the factory employs state of the art building techniques and materials to make your home even stronger and more energy efficient. There are never any shortcuts or ommissions, the building materials and components used are of equal or better quality and strength than that of site built homes.

Here are the standard specifications of homes we have built in Great Barrington MA and our other MA, CT and NY service areas:
