I used to do IT work for an organization referred to as Go Modular. Their modular houses have been superb. The homeowners lived in a single and it was big. Like a standard giant Colonial. 5bd, 4ba, and many others. It was constructed utilizing the identical rectangular containers stacked on prime of one another or aspect by aspect. The containers have been all prefabbed in a manufacturing unit with door and window openings already in place, relying on the room config. Bigger rooms like a front room had one principally open aspect so two containers made a big room. The containers have been trucked out to the location and a crane put them in place. As soon as the stacking course of started, the home went up actually rapidly. The roof construction was just about as a standard home would use.
I did not work there lengthy sufficient to know if their homes held up in addition to regular builds, however the wooden and development of partitions and so forth was the identical. And because the wooden by no means bought uncovered to the weather, I might assume it had no points with warping or rot. I additionally do not know the way a lot much less one value vs a standard construct. You continue to want a basis and all the opposite utility work.
