The first and the most important. When you examine the market to choose an interesting construction option, It is increasingly easier for the words “modular house” to reach your eyes or ears.. If you are not familiar with the term or have not seen examples before, the most normal thing is that you do not know what it is about.
The term “Modular House” has its origins in modules, logically. It is called so because The construction of the different parts or modules of the home is carried out in factories and is transported to the installation site where it will go.. The different walls, partitions, beams, etc., are previously built and then assembled following a more or less complex assembly plan.

What we can tell you is that, for the same size and quality, the price in the long run will be much cheaper than that of traditional construction.

At Modular Home, we distinguish ourselves by offering the client realistic construction perspectives and deadlines, informing you in advance of any possible changes or delays.
4. Are concrete modular homes durable?
Of course. In fact, there are concrete constructions that are hundreds of years old and in perfect condition. In fact, architecture and engineering have traditionally used reinforced concrete both in housing and public works worldwide, since some of its characteristics are great resistance, high Malleability in any mold and quick drying. Modular Home has been building houses for almost 20 years and its experience is that the first houses it built are the same as the first day. In general terms, Modular houses have a durability perspective of more than 100 years. This contrasts with the length of traditional houses.

6. What is the installation process for a modular house?
Modular Home uses its own construction system, the well-known MH System. The objective is to get ahead of the work, planning each step and allowing a fixed price to be given. We have two different phases, the exterior industrialization phase using reinforced concrete panels and the interior phase, using partition walls and housing installations.
Our controlled process is based on 3 parts: design, manufacturing and installation. The load-bearing concrete panels have a double function, one structural and the other enclosing. By unifying both functions we achieve a perfect finish and more economical subsequent maintenance.
7. What should I consider before buying a modular home?
In addition to the location of the land and the price, It is necessary that you take into account all the bureaucratic procedures associated with granting a Work permit, habitation license, etc. At Modular Home we will help you and guide you step by step so that you can get your home without any problem.
