- They are constructed entirely at the building site.

- They conform to all state, local or regional codes where the house is located.

- Often called 'stick-built' houses.

- A well-built, cared for site-built home generally increases in value over time,

  although its location plays a key role in value.  

   What is a modular home?

Modular homes are built in sections in a factory setting, indoors, where they are

never subjected to adverse weather conditions. The sections move through the

factory, with the company's quality control department checking them after every

step and then final inspection by an Independent outside inspection agency.

Finished modules are covered for protection, then transported to your home site.

They are placed on a pre-made foundation, joined, and completed. A well-built

modular home should have the same longevity as its site-built counterpart,

increasing in value over time. 

  How long does it take to build a modular home?

That depends on your design and the manufacturer, but some modular homes

can be built in the factory in as little as 1-2 weeks. And since modulars are

built indoors, there's never a weather delay. It usually takes another 2 weeks 

to complete the home once it's delivered to the building site.

  Don't all modular homes look alike?

No, and unless you were there to see the house delivered and assembled,

you might not guess it's a modular home. Modular home manufacturers use

computer aided design programs to draw plans to your specifications,

or to modify one of their standard plans to suit your needs, so nearly

any home plan can be turned into a modular home.

  Why is 21st Century Homes & Structures Different?

TURNKEY!  Unlike other modular products, items like furnaces, outlets, appliances,

carpeting and even front steps are included.  You just turn on the light switch

and enjoy your new home or commercial building.  No extra pennies and dimes

outside of your upgrade requirements.  All standard equipment comes

with manufacturer warrantees.  Check out our features.  PLUS, our buildings are

like no other modular in strength due to the steel core interior integrity.  We use

one-time used shipping containers for our 10 core steel frame.  Review how we

measure up.  Visit our Company Standards, and Comparison Fact Sheet or

Before & After 20 Years and watch a unit being placed!.  We promise you'll be

impressed.

   Will banks finance a modular home?

Yes. Most banks, appraisers, and insurance companies treat modular homes the

same way they do site built homes --a house that's constructed entirely on your

property.  Ask the mortgage brokers and banks in your area to explain how they

finance modular homes.  We are affiliated with several regional financing

companies to also assist you.  E-mail us to inquire about NY financing institutions.

  Can I save money by building a modular home?

Construction costs for a modular home are  less per square foot than for a

similar site-built home. And there are other cost-saving features:

-  Many modular homes are very energy efficient, which helps reduce your

   heating and cooling costs.

-  Your home will probably be ready to move into much sooner than if you wait

   for a builder to construct a house on-site.

-  If you think modulars are ho-hum, you're in for a pleasant surprise.
