We’ve built more than 28,000 homes in the past 24 years and we hope to pass along some of that knowledge and experience here at Modular Musings.

Among those reasons is the efficiency of the factory construction process and the fact that while the modules are being built, the foundation and other site preparations can take place simultaneously.

This time savings becomes clear in a pie chart on the Modular Today website. As you can see on the right, the design phase of both modular and traditional homes takes the same amount of time, but the site prep time for the modular home has been combined with the construction time. Though it may be hard to tell, the construction time in the top chart is also slightly less than the bottom due to the efficiency of the modular construction process.

All of this adds up to the ability to build a modular home in 25 percent less time than a stick-built home.
