System Built Modular Homes

The term define the system of building a conventional home in modular sections under state certification for a specific builder and their customer and site. Modular homes are built to the I.R.C. (International Residential Code) specifications to comply with state and municipal building codes for residential construction (conventional site-built homes).

This system of building guarantees the maximum efficiency and highest quality construction to deliver exceptional value to the builder.

The Heritage system incorporates hundreds of improved construction techniques over conventional site-built homes. Precision details are engineered into our construction system. By using the latest in building technology, you can be assured that every detail of the construction process is scrutinized.

There are three major advantages to the modular building system at Heritage Homes.

First, it simplifies the construction process, usually taking substantially less time to complete.

Second, there is the quality of construction. More than just good craftsmanship, it includes exceptional engineering design and specific material selections.

Third, there is value! We are confident that you will get more house for your money. Our building process has been proven to be a more efficient building system.

Planning a major investment like a new home requires that you carefully consider four critical factors: Design, construction standards, energy efficiency and value. Heritage Homes, along with our Heritage Builders, have helped over 4,000 families make wise decisions based upon these four considerations. We are confident that after reading this material and talking with your Heritage Builder, you will learn more about custom homebuilding, thus making your decisions easier.

Heritage Homes and your Heritage Builder will design your home to be just right. Features and innovations in design are the hallmark of all Heritage Homes. Unlike conventional home building, which requires significant time to price and “estimate” the total project, your builder will be able to price your home even before the plans are drawn.

We can supply you with a manual that contains many outstanding designs and hundreds of custom design features. Many of these plans have been the perfect dream home, while others have been used as a starting point or idea generator for that “perfect” design that fits your family.

Each design feature is conveniently priced so that by combining your plan with the design features, you can make decisions based on need and cost. After a site evaluation, you will receive a FIRM PRICE, not an estimate for your project.

With Heritage, you get the right plan for your family at the right price! No need to spend a lot of money for plans or waiting to decide on different features until after you know where the price “comes in at”.

Even the competition finds it hard to argue against the quality and efficiency of the Heritage system. It truly is a bettor way to build.

Building a home inside a factory with skilled workers and precision tools such as overhead cranes, fork lifts, cutoff saws, routers and pneumatic jigs is much more efficient than conventional construction practices.

The delays that occur with site construction (weather, subcontractor and material delays) are eliminated with the Heritage Building System. We never wait for material or subcontractors to show up at the job site. There are many advantages to having the trades work together under one roof to accomplish a common goal. Precision details are engineered into our construction system to assure maximum efficiency.

Costs of carpet, lumber and most other raw materials are held low by buying direct from the mills and manufacturers. It’s easy to see why you get more home for your investment dollar.

Everyone talks about quality, but at Heritage Homes, we deliver. Our system built homes retain the traditional ingredients of a site-built home, using materials such as drywall, full dimensional lumber, copper plumbing and custom built cabinetry. Add in the latest building technology and skilled workers and you are assured the highest quality.

All Heritage Homes are built using jigs and framing tables to construct the roof, walls and floor. Walls are assembled in a square jig and nailed together, and drywall is applied with screws and adhesive.

We encourage you to tour our factory and display homes, or visit a Land & Marine's model home to see the craftsmanship and quality that you can expect. Our quality is apparent when you visit our facility and see homes under construction. Framing, plumbing, electrical, insulation, air barriers, adhesives, drywall, trim work, and cabinets are all installed by skilled craftsmen. Their work is continually inspected by our own quality assurance department as well as the Codes Division of the State the house is going to.

4. Guaranteed Firm Price

Webster defines value as –“a fair return or equivalent in goods, services or money for something exchanged”. Heritage Homes defines VALUE as “giving our clients a high quality, energy efficient home with the features they desire at a fair price”. In doing so, we strive to provide the best overall home for your investment dollar.

The other guys can talk about cost per square foot and even win sometimes, but they will rarely talk about value and that is what we promise every time real value. Even fewer will guarantee you a FIRM PRICE that will not change unless you change it.

Conventionally built homes cost you more, not because they provide you with more, but because the building system is costly, wasteful and in efficient.

We proudly offer you the benefits of customizing your home with the efficiencies and cost savings of factory building. Our specifications have changed over the past 30 years, but we have always delivered the best value and that’s something that we’ll never change!

It never rains or snows on homes under construction inside our facility. Others may tell you water won’t hurt framing lumber or sheathing, but we know better. Swelling and warping can and will happen when you mix water and wood. That’s why lumberyards keep lumber in sheds which is more proof that a Heritage Home is built a better way.
