Why Should I Buy a Modular Home?

The Best Value and Highest Quality!

Modular homes are built in a controlled environment, and benefit from rigorous standards associated with the assembly line production process, along with constant inspection throughout the construction process. They are precision engineered for a lifetime of trouble-free structural durability. Modular Factories buy large quantities of materials to build hundreds of homes annually. Efficient purchasing assures the best value to obtain these materials. Labor is used with maximum efficiency, with skilled craftsman moving between workstations on the factory floor.

ZABI Homes Modular homes are built especially well, using only high quality materials. There is typically 20% to 30% more lumber used in framing your home and we will GLUE as well as nail or screw the components of the home together.

Simplifying The Process

Every negative aspect about building a home has come true... but not if you let us help you through all of them.

• "I Need More Money"
  Your worst nightmare - the job's not complete and your contractor tells you "I'm over budget." I need more money or else I'm done. ZABI Homes gives you a guaranteed price, without cost overruns.
  
  
• The Mystery Builder
  You don't want an unfinished house slowly rotting away in the rain, while the builder is off framing another project. When you buy a ZABI Homes modular, you get a weather tight home on day one. Did you get a comfortable feeling with one person and a stranger shows up to build your home? With ZABI Homes, you deal with the owners, we are on site, and we are who you call with concerns.
  
  
• The Parking Lot Concept
  Would you spend $20,000 on a car built in the rain, in the parking lot, in Detroit? Of course not! But yet some will buy a home (your largest investment) built this way! A site-built house open to the rain and elements can cause your wood to warp, swell, or twist. These are problems you won't "see" but will never get rid of in your home's lifetime. Modular homes are built in controlled environments under the factory roof and are shipped in weather-proofed wrapping, until they are made weather tight the day of the set.
  
  
• Expectations not met...
  At times you don't really know what quality you're getting with a site-built house. Modular homes are thoroughly inspected at every stage of construction. A quality control process provides 100% assurance that your home has been inspected for code compliance and workmanship. In-plant inspectors as well as Third party independent inspection agencies inspect the home on behalf of your state & local government.
  
  
• Shorter Construction Phase
  Normally a home can be built within a couple of weeks, excluding the production backlog lead times- sometimes 8-16 weeks. Once your home is placed on its foundation, final completion takes as little as two or three weeks, or more for a large custom home with many amenities. This defined schedule allows you to move more quickly, plan your move better, and minimize interest time on a construction loan.
  
  
• Lower Ownership Costs, and Greater Energy Efficiency
  Should a new home need repairs? If construction shortcuts are made it will. Modular homes are built in a modern controlled environment using high quality materials. They are designed and engineered for a lifetime of trouble-free structural durability. Without the right framework no home will retain its finish quality. A well-built house is a home that is easier and less costly to maintain.
  
  
• ZABI Homes is building homes that
  can carry the Energy Star Rating.
