Today’s Objective
Clearly define modular housing Present the benefits of modular
housing Review the modular housing process Examine some “lessons learned” in
modular housing

Modular Housing Defined
A structure designed primarily for residential occupancy, designed and constructed to a state or national model code, which is manufactured in one or more sections in a factory for installation on a permanent foundation at its final location.

Modular Housing Defined
The term does not include manufactured housing as defined by the National Manufactured Housing Construction and Safety Standards Act of 1974 (42 U.S.C.A. §§ 5401-5426).

What Modular Is Not: Mobile Home
A movable or portable dwelling built on a chassis, connected to utilities, designed without a permanent foundation, and intended for year-round living

What Modular Is Not: Manufactured Home• A structure, manufactured in one or
more sections, which is built on a permanent metal chassis and designed to be used as a dwelling with or without a permanent foundation when connected to utilities and includes plumbing, heating and electrical systems, manufactured in accordance with federal standards under the National Manufactured Housing Construction and Safety Standards Act of 1974 (42 U.S.C.A. §§ 5401-5426).

What it Is- Modular Homes Built to International or State Building
Code Built in a factory Installed on a permanent foundation Shipped to site on trailers, set with crane An appreciable asset Appraised the same as site built (same
comps) Generally stronger, more energy
efficient, faster to build, and less costly to build

Modular and Affordability Some General Assumptions
10-20% less cost than site built homes Actual cost based on local labor rates Modular has benefits over site built
construction Amount of site work is based on how the
modular homes is specified and delivered

Things to Consider
Site Conditions? Site Access? Single Home or Multi-home
subdivision? Lot orientation and design
relationship? Is time a critical consideration? Do I have green requirements?
![Page 47: David Bennert Innova Homes, LLC Asheville, NC. Today’s Objective Clearly define modular housing Present the benefits of modular housing Review the](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032722/56649cf05503460f949bf9b7/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
When to Use Modular
When time is money When labor is unavailable or cost
prohibitive When volunteer labor is available When multiple units enable “quantity
discounts” When site conditions and access permit When you can easily apply standard
designs
![Page 48: David Bennert Innova Homes, LLC Asheville, NC. Today’s Objective Clearly define modular housing Present the benefits of modular housing Review the](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032722/56649cf05503460f949bf9b7/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
When Not to Use Modular
Difficult to access sites When modular shipping is cost
prohibitive When additional site work is required to
support modular handling Sites that allow ‘slab on grade’
construction When surrounding features complicate
the set process (trees, power lines, adjacent structures)

Modular Advantages
Built stronger than most site built homes
Material efficient HBH and LEED points for material
conservation due to recycle Energy Efficient
Better air sealing than most site built homes Third party inspection for Energy Star
More design flexibility than ever before

Some Misunderstandings in Modular Construction
The manufacturer is NOT a GC The specifications ARE the home Modular homes are not suited to on-
slab construction The GC (typically) orchestrates set
crew, road transport, site transport (dozer, tug, jade), crane services, and set crews
The GC can complete, or enter in to “owner completion” contract
![Page 55: David Bennert Innova Homes, LLC Asheville, NC. Today’s Objective Clearly define modular housing Present the benefits of modular housing Review the](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032722/56649cf05503460f949bf9b7/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)
The Modular Process
1. Site Assessment Access? Trees? Power/phone lines?
Other Properties? Site Works?
2. Design Selection Can you select an existing design to meet
you site and client needs
3. Identify an experienced, reputable contractor with experience in modular construction
Exclusive dealer or Independent GC?
![Page 56: David Bennert Innova Homes, LLC Asheville, NC. Today’s Objective Clearly define modular housing Present the benefits of modular housing Review the](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032722/56649cf05503460f949bf9b7/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)
The Modular Process
4. Determine your product needs and DOCUMENT
Energy efficient certification? System Vision? HealthyBuilt Home?
5. Determine your GC requirements Turn Key or Owner Completion? Who is
responsible for what tasks? Who is the selected manufacturer, and
how do you verify they can meet your specifications?
