More Denver Colorado homes are being system built now than any time since the modular homes sold through Sears from 1908 to 1940. Humble system-built homes are one option to consider for Denver CO horse properties. In fact, about 85 percent of construction projects, including high-end real estate in Denver, currently utilize some type of modular construction.
System-build modular homes, not to be confused with manufactured homes, are almost twice as fast to build. Costing less time and less money, they are popular not only within Great Denver real estate but in the Rocky Mountains where the construction season is cut short.
Building systems are highly engineered methods of producing buildings or building components. A modular home is one type of building system. Homes begin as components designed, engineered, and assembled in an indoor controlled environment. Under the system-built construction method, simultaneous construction of the foundation and first and second floors speeds up the finished product. At a time coordinated with the building contractor, the final components are transported to the home site.
Production line methods result in superior quality. Several factors contribute to the structural integrity. They include better equipment, climate control, high-grade materials, tighter construction that withstands transport, and quality control. All building codes and standards are observed during every step of the construction process. In addition, it is nice to know that banks, lending institutions, and insurers do not differentiate between modular and site-built homes.
The quality conscious and cost conscious buyer finds state-of-the-art construction technology and great amenities. The computer age allows homeowners to analyze the best and most cost-effective ways to design and construct their homes, including options of a long list of interior and exterior design elements. Thanks to new technology, homebuyers are able to purchase empty land lots and horse properties and, within two to three months, they are moving into the homes that they help design.
According to a January 2009 article in The Denver Post by Margaret Jackson, at least one development company in the residential real-estate market here decided to shift to system-built homes selling for $350,000 versus pursuing their original plan to build homes in the $500,000 to $700,000 price range without compromising style. The homes feature open stairwells, solid oak treads, maple kitchen cabinets, slab kitchen counters, and onyx countertops in the bathrooms.
