Modular homes are the same as any other site-built, traditional construction home. You can add any style of window, door, wall or architectural feature you prefer. And one major benefit: modular homes are appraised the same way as any traditional site-built home. We are always glad to help share with our customers and first-time modular home buyers exactly what it is they are getting with one of these impressive structures. Modular homes can be more affordable than most site-built homes, especially when the construction time is minimal.
Commercial buildings, apartments, and other buildings are being built modular fashion. The reason is quality control and affordability: manufacturers, builders, and buyers get exactly what they expect making everyone happy. Modular homes are the way of the future.

Many people are not familiar with modular construction and we are always more than happy to explain it. A modular home is a prefabricated building that is mostly assembled in a factory or warehouse and is then transported to the site where it will be used. A manufactured home is defined as a dwelling unit. which has a permanent chassis to guarantee the initial transportability of the home, as well as its continued mobility in the future. This is what distinguishes modular homes from manufactured homes (also referred to as mobile or trailer homes). This is a very important distinction because of the impact it has on financing.
Banks and financial institutions view modular homes in the same way they look at site-built home in terms of value appraisals and financing options. This means that the mortgage terms and interest rates will be much lower than those of a manufactured home. Additionally, insurance providers also view modular homes in the same light as site-built ones, again resulting in significantly lower costs than those associated with manufactured homes.
Since the preparation work on the build site takes place simultaneously with the construction of your modular home, it creates a much more streamlined and efficient schedule to get the process completed faster and get you moved into your new home as quickly as possible.
Once completed you cannot tell the difference between modular and traditional homes. Modular homes are the way of the future.
At Odom Modular, we provide these homes to you in a variety of premium options which can be tweaked and altered to fit your vision of the perfect home, all within your budget. We offer everything from traditional to modern styles and we will work with you hand-in-hand to help you design the floor plan of your dreams with every feature and accessory that you desire.

Reduced Construction Time
Modules can be constructed more rapidly and efficiently and without weather delays due to being assembled in an enclosed, highly organized factory setting. In addition, construction of modules can begin at the time of home selection and produced during the foundation phase of the project, further compressing the construction time cycle.
Quality
Modules are produced in a factory setting to precise measurements and tolerances and are subject to a stringent quality control system. The fit and tolerances and rigid structural characteristics inherent with modular construction far exceed those of conventional jobsite construction.
Waste Reduction
Waste is significantly reduced in modular construction through preengineered design and detailed production planning. Modular construction not only minimizes waste but also significantly reduces the need for refuse disposal and the resources it consumes, further reducing the negative impact on the environment associated with waste disposal.
Protection From Elements
Modular construction taking place indoors eliminates the potential of mold, mildew, rust and insect infestation from exposure to moisture, dampness, rain and snow that is inherent with conventional on-site construction, providing a healthier living environment for the inhabitants. Indoor construction also eliminates the deterioration and decay of materials, sealants and adhesives associated with conventional construction, which adversely affects the ultimate quality of the home and leads to potential breakdown and failure of components and connections.
