According to the National Association of Home Builders, modular homes first began being built in the late 1950’s. Their design, however, were not as elaborate as they are today, described as being, “simple rectangular, two or four-module structures” (NAHB, 2016). With such advanced technology, modular homes can now be constructed into all shapes and sizes, making them a huge competitor to traditional on-site built homes.
Modular homes are pre-built at a factory in segments and then assembled together on site. This method of building homes is not only faster but also more affordable than on-site built homes.
We all like to showcase, the things that we are proud of and important to us. Designer Modular Homes refer to the new age of modular homes. They often offer the opportunity for you to custom design your modular homes to exactly how you want it. Here at Hoek Modular Homes, for example, we offer a variety of modern modular home designs with a range of custom optional extras to choose from. This differs greatly from previous styles, which clung, to a standard style and inclusions. Now, modular homes are built to suit any style and need. They can be small and simple, glorious and large or somewhere in between. Their inclusions and extra custom modifications include various roof and façade designs, window styles, exterior cladding, flooring, window covers and so much more. In this new era of modular homes, anything is possible.
