The building process begins at the design phase.  At the Lamond R & C only uses manufactures that use state-of-the-art computer assisted design stations which aid them in customizing floor plans and producing drawings and material requirement lists.  Once designed, the building process begins.  This process is similar to what you've seen during the construction of houses in your neighborhood.  The quality materials and care for detail, and the same building codes and standards are observed.  So what's different?  Efficiency and quality control!  Efficiency begins with modern factory assembly line techniques.  Your home travels to workstations, with all the building trades represented.  Work is never delayed by weather, subcontractor no-shows or missing material.  Quality engineering and modular construction techniques significantly increase the energy efficiency of your modular home.  A quality control process provides 100% assurance that your home has been inspected for code compliance and workmanship.  In-plant inspectors as well as independent agencies inspect the home on behalf of your state and local government.

Two of the many advantages for choosing modular components for your new home are speed and consistent quality.  On the average, a home can be produced and delivered and placed on your foundation within 6-8 weeks.  Final completion is handled by Lamond R & C and includes connection of utilities to the home, and a short list of finish work. 

Manufactured homes, sometimes referred to as mobile homes, are another type of building system and are constructed to a different building standard.  This standard, the Federal Construction Safety Standards Act (HUD/CODE), unlike conventional building codes, requires manufactured homes to be constructed on a non-removable steel chassis.  Many communities have restrictions on where manufactured homes can be located.  Systems Built-Modular and site-built homes on the other hand, are constructed to the same building codes required by your state, county and specific locality and therefore are not restricted by building or zoning regulations.  Your new system's built-modular home is inspected at the assembly plant during each phase of construction.  Evidence of this inspection is normally shown by the application of a State or inspection agency label of approval.

No distinction is made between system's built-modular homes and site-built homes as far as appraisal or financing. Banks and lending institutions treat both types of construction the same. Likewise, there is no difference in insuring the System's Built-Modular home.

When you add up all the labor, material and time savings inherent in the modular building process, you will find that the price of a modular home is generally lower than a site-built home of comparable size. You will keep saving money year after year, as the energy efficiency of your home keeps your heating and cooling bills low.
