Modular Home has worked with the concept of modular houses since its beginnings. Promoting the versatility of the concept, and working with the best material to achieve its objectives. This is none other than reinforced concrete. That is why we offer the best solutions in prefabricated concrete homes of the national market.
The origin of modular homes
To know when the development of modular homes began, you have to travel almost a hundred years back in time. We move to the beginning of the 1908th century in the United States. The first vestiges arose in 30.000, when Sears Roebuck & Company began to manufacture and sell houses by 'packages'. Interested parties could buy these houses through a catalog in which various styles were offered. Although they are not exactly modular homes as such, they may have been the first to have their own system of materials. Buyers, once the decision was made, received a complete kit with more than 70 pieces and a XNUMX-page instruction manual.
Everything was ready to get to work. The experiment gave very good results. In fact, from 1908 to 1940, many people requested the purchase of modular homes from Sears, no more and no less than 75.000 people. But during the years of the Great Depression, home sales fell by almost 40%. This marked the end of home sales through catalogues, although the industry reinvented itself and soon had the opportunity to continue growing. This moment represents a brake on the evolution of modular homes. Of course, in no case did it mean the end.
Another new resurgence, after World War II
After World War II, many soldiers returned to the United States with the idea of purchasing a house. The demand was such that there were not enough homes for everyone. This is when the idea of Sears joins another great milestone in history, Fordism. Modular homes cost less and were much more efficient than mobile homes. In 1958, a first two-section modular home was built to the applicable building code. And this was actually the moment when the modular housing industry was officially born.
Over the following decades, this sector worked hard to improve its technology. It was necessary to differentiate their products from others in the industry. Until the 80s, most modular homes were simple rectangles with two or four modules. With the technological advance of computing and computer-aided design programs, these homes began to develop new and original shapes. Technology played a fundamental role in the evolution of modular homes.
In the last 20 years the sophistication of modular homes has increased significantly. With new methods and new technologies, large modules can be built and transported. There are no longer unbridgeable distances. The modules can be transported to and from any location. Making these homes become one of the best alternatives when choosing a home.
Modular houses: Disassembling systems
Modular homes are not simply standard prefabricated homes. And this type of housing takes shape thanks to the union of standardized construction elements from whose combination a building is born that can serve as a home for a family. Each module, we can say, is its own room, corresponding to a bathroom, a garage, a living room or a kitchen, for example. The speed in the execution of the works and the low cost involved are some of its main advantages.
Preparation of modular homes
In general, the modules that will make up the home are made in the factory in the same way as if it were furniture.

For this same reason, proceeding to dismantle these constructions is also possible and quick.
Advantages of modular homes

It must be said that this process will depend on the material they are made of since those made of wood are not the same as, for example, concrete. Thanks to the fact that the modules come prepared to be assembled and disassembled, this process only requires the appropriate machinery and tools to be carried out. In addition, this makes it possible for them to be moved from one place to another.
Concrete homes from Modular Home
Modular houses made of concrete have many other benefits in addition to those already mentioned regarding disassembly. And this material is an excellent acoustic insulator and with the thermal envelope MODULAR HOME a magnificent thermal insulator. As if that were not enough, thanks to the fact that it is a ductile, moldable and very resistant material, it can be easily worked on to install windows and doors and there is much less risk of damage when disassembling it.
Modular homes are an excellent alternative to prefabricated homes and are an ideal habitability solution for both family vacations and any time of year. And these homes have everything necessary in terms of comfort and can also be dismantled very easily and transported to another place if necessary.

The evolution of modular homes in the rustic range has been spectacular in recent years.
The beginning of rustic modular homes
The idea of modular homes is not new, since it has been around for more than 100 years. When a visionary offered a prefabricated "modern home" in his general spring catalog of 1908. People saw it attractive and this idea sold about 100.000 of these homes from 1908 to 1939, the use of production line techniques really began after of World War II and made a significant contribution to reducing the housing shortage at the time.
In the 1960s, the mobile home industry made an evolutionary split. One branch became recreational vehicles (RVs) to the point where the house now tows the car. The other branch has evolved into prefabricated houses. 95 percent of them become permanent homes once they are transported from the factory to the site. Which shows that modular housing is also popular in many countries around the world.
