Why Modular

Discover the Benefits of Building a Buffalo Modular Home

Building a modular home is a simple and efficient process. Begin by selecting a floor plan, then customize it with your preferred features, options, and upgrades. Similar to an assembly line, modular homes are produced with all the necessary information and features finalized in advance. This streamlined approach not only enhances efficiency but also reduces costs compared to traditional stick-built homes. With smart planning, you could be living in your custom modular home within just a few months. Despite the quick turnaround, each home is crafted with high-quality materials and meticulous attention to detail.

1. Superior Quality Control

Modular homes offer enhanced quality control over site-built homes. Constructed in a climate-controlled environment, the entire structure is safeguarded from adverse weather during the build. This ensures that the interior of your home remains untouched by harmful weather conditions.

2. Extensive Inspections and Oversight

Modular homes undergo more rigorous inspections than site-built homes. While a typical site-built home might experience a few inspections during construction, a Buffalo Modular Home is subject to over 100 quality checks and third-party inspections, guaranteeing the highest level of quality throughout the entire modular construction process.

3. Built Stronger for Durability

Modular homes are engineered to be sturdier than traditional site-built homes. Since these homes need to be transported to the site, they are designed to meet higher strength standards. Elements like decking, sheathing, framing, and drywall are not only nailed but also screwed and glued, making the structure more resilient against nature’s forces. Studies estimate that 20-40% more lumber and fasteners are used in modular homes compared to similar site-built homes. Even FEMA has recognized that modular homes withstand hurricanes better than conventional site-built homes.

4. Fully Customizable Designs

Modular homes offer exceptional design flexibility. You can choose from a wide array of home plans and then tailor every detail to your personal style. From hardwood floors to stone countertops, there are thousands of upscale features available to suit your budget and preferences. Buffalo Modular Homes offers various styles, including ranch plans, capes, chalets, vacation cabins, two-story homes, and even investment properties like townhouses and apartment buildings. Our “custom-made-easy” approach ensures that your home perfectly reflects your unique tastes, whether you’re building a cozy 1,000-square-foot space or a sprawling 6,000-square-foot estate.

5. Energy Efficiency and Resource Conservation

Modular homes are designed with energy efficiency and sustainability in mind. In a typical 2,000-square-foot site-built home, approximately 8,000 pounds of waste end up in landfills. In contrast, building modular homes in a factory setting can reduce waste by up to 90%, as materials are recycled and reused. The precision construction of modular homes also minimizes gaps and drafts, enhancing energy efficiency and leading to significant heating and cooling savings for homeowners.

6. Significant Cost Savings

Modular homes offer significant cost savings. Constructed in less than half the time of traditional site-built homes and in a controlled environment, modular homes naturally lead to reduced costs. The shortened construction time also lowers your overall construction financing charges. With a wide range of modular floor plans and custom options, Buffalo Modular Homes makes it easy to find a home that fits your budget.

7. Convenient Financing Options

Buffalo Modular Homes qualify for both construction and traditional mortgage programs, following the same mortgage rules and regulations as site-built homes. This means you can finance your Buffalo Modular Home just as easily as a traditional home.
