Prestige Better Built Homes Advantages
Benefits to Modular Housing
• Constructed in a quality controlled environment
• Construction can not be delayed because of weather
• Material inventories are controlled, never lost or stolen from the job
• Materials are purchased in volume at lower prices, to lower cost of construction.
• These savings are passed on to the customer
• Inclement weather will not cause material damage
• Home construction is inspected constantly during and after delivery
• Meets all building codes, state, local, and zoning laws
• May be finanaced through conventional mortgage institutions
• Modular homes are stronger than site built homes
• Recently, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) confirmed that
modular homes withstood a hurricane far better than site-built housing. In it’s
report “Building Performance; Hurricane Andrew in Florida” assessment teams from FEMA concluded that modular homes withstood the 131-155 mph winds of the
category 4 storm far better than site-built housing.
• Our Homes are engineered to meet 140 mph wind load
• We achieve this by using special metal connectors, straps, lag bolts, screws.
• Moreover, we use double studs, rafters, and joists at key structural areas. Finally, the nail configurations bond the floor and roof components into a solid structure
that can withstand well beyond gale force winds.
