Timberline Homes Are Smart HomesJune 13, 2012
Manufactured homes are smart homes.
They provide all the benefits of stick-built homes – and more, much more.
The advantages are economical and environmental, saving precious time, stress and money. Thanks to the construction method, buyers of manufactured homes save money and they get the same choices—floor plans, fixtures, windows —as buyers of homes built on site. Manufactured homes are built in climate—controlled environments, so workers and material aren’t affected by weather, which can delay other construction – and drive up prices. Another reason manufactured homes cost less: They’re built in large enough numbers that the manufacturer often can buy material at much lower costs than the builder of on-site housing. Manufactured homes not only meet the same building codes as stick-built homes, but frequent inspections in climate-controlled environments guarantee more attention to detail, and craftsmen have more access to hard-to-reach areas under construction. For example, when building manufactured homes, workers can apply better seals around electrical outlets and fixtures, increasing energy efficiency. And mold is not an issue with manufactured homes, although it can plague houses built on–site with supplies exposed to nature. Manufactured homes are built extra strong because they must be transported to the site. This means sturdier homes to withstand weather. And because weather is not an issue when building manufactured homes, manufacturers can offer steady work that attracts the best craftsmen available. With on-site homes, hundreds of pounds of excess construction materials often must be trucked to landfills. Manufacturers of manufactured homes are able to recycle, saving money for the home-buyer and reducing strain on the environment.Be smart. Put Timberline Homes Inc. to work, saving you money, worry and time while providing you a great variety of choices that fit your lifestyle and your budget.
