What is it like inside a manufactured home factory? Just like any business, manufactured home factories rely on offering a quality product, and keeping to disciplined and quality-oriented procedures. You will find a well organized group of professionals working as a team. Each home is produced in a group of phases in a dedicated area of the factory by a specialized team. The workers in the first area construct the floor and walls of the home, using tools developed for their specific tasks. Once all of the tasks for the first phase are complete, the home will move to another area of the factory.
Materials used to produce a manufactured home are the same used to build a site-built home, the only difference is that they are made in a factory, and later transported to a site to be assembled. Materials in a manufactured home include 2×4 and 4×4 frames, insulation, shingles, siding, and mostly anything else used in a site-built home. Building a home in a factory may seem strange at first, but there are many benefits. The factory-building process is efficient in that it saves time, while increasing reliability and lowering costs.
How does it save time by building a manufactured home I a factory? This is a good question with two equally important answers. First, there are no weather delays when manufactured home parts are built in a factory. The building process can proceed uninterrupted and with no weather damage to materials. Along with saving time in manufacturing a home, money is saved because there is absolutely no change any material will have to be replaced due to weather damage. Second, The factory is the ideal environment for home construction. Processes are controlled, as the home moves through the factory to individual specialists to complete each phase of construction. There is no time wasted setting-up and breaking down tools and machines every day, because the factory has each station set-up at all times. Manufactured homes are completed faster than site-built homes. Manufactured home construction is measured in weeks, while site built home projects are measured in months. As a result of the savings in time and equipment , manufactured homes can be 40% lower in cost than site-built homes.
Manufactured Homes are usually built in one or two sections, called single-wide and double-wide, respectfully. However, triple-wide homes are also an option. The floor of a manufactured home is constructed to be sturdy, and a perfect rectangle. It will later be the base of the home, and placed in a rental space in a mobile home park or privately owned land. Along the process of manufacturing a factory-built home, it is also possible to customize according to your taste. You can add carpet, cabinetry, extra walls, or any number of improvements.
