Illustrated to help you every step of the way
The information contained in The Factory Direct Modular Homes Construction Manual is designed
to assist you, the customer, to successfully complete the construction of a
modular home. By following the manual, you can establish a good working pattern
as you prepare to receive and complete the house. Construction sequences and
important fastening details have been described and potential problems
identified so that the construction will proceed quickly and efficiently. The
first part of the manual is composed of the major functions required to complete
construction:
- Sale - to Modular Delivery - to Site
- Site Preparation
- Trailer Arrival to Close
- Close to Finish
The manual concludes with a series of check lists. The first list is the
sequential activities required to complete the set, close, and finish of each of
the major modular house types. The second is a listing of the work required to
complete the plumbing, electrical, and heating, ventilating and air conditioning
installations for each of the major modular house types. You may want to copy
portions of the last section and distribute them to your subcontractors and
superintendents, so that they they may more fully understand the completion of
the modular house. It is recommended that you review a few times the modular
house under construction video and observe the work so that you may become
familiar with the setting and finishing of a modular house.
Performed properly, the modular home building process will amount to great
savings and value. Time and overhead savings will improve the dollar amount
saved.
