Who will be working on my home once it is delivered to the home site?
Subcontractors will perform most of the on-site construction: Set Crew- Assemble home modules on home site to erect finished product. This is a specialized contractor for system-built homes.
How is my home delivered to the home site?
System-built homes are built in a factory where all necessary materials are delivered to the plant. The finished product is shipped in segments called modules via carriers to the job site. The modules are erected and joined together by use of a crane. The manufacturer has more leverage with suppliers and skilled staff to complete the homes on time, with less cost and better quality. Since the completed modules are carried over highways, they are built with extra structural materials to support shipment and set-up. Once delivery is completed, the carriers are sent back to the plant.
