How long does a home take to build?
As a premier modular home builder, we pride ourselves on quality over quantity. We are not an assembly based plant and each home is custom built from beginning-to-end with no pre-built walls, floors or roof. This makes our homes truly unique to many other modular builders.
To maintain our high standards, and as a reflection to our commitment to excellence, each home built will take an average of four months to properly complete. This allows for all trades to have the necessary time-frame to finish your construction and provide a quality build. Come see the difference quality makes!
