Multi-Family Modular Homes

Multi-Family Modular Homes

Although modular homes have been around for decades, contemporary multi-family projects are relatively new. In the past, emergency housing and relocating developments were the only major category of multi-family housing that incorporated modular construction. However, a new niche in the residential housing industry is emerging: the design and construction of multi-family living spaces that are prefabricated.

Modular construction takes place in a climate-controlled factory setting, ensuring the time frame for completion is shortened by 40 percent. Concerns over the building season and slowdowns due to inclement weather are reduced.

Duplexes and 4-plexes are a real space saver when it comes to purchasing land. These units are carefully designed to maximize floor space while at the same time achieving a desired interior layout. Much like a 4-plex condo, a prefabricated multi-family residential structure makes the most out of the allotted square footage.

Design and construction of this type of residential structure can be completed as a turnkey operation. The contractor/builder can handle everything from site work and landscaping to the layout and completion of parking areas, driveways, and utility connections.

Contemporary designs include exteriors covered in fine-quality paneling or shake, faux stone, and even brick. Many of the multi-family prefabricated designs now available have numerous options for interior decorating such as natural stone flooring, double-strength storm windows, and custom fireplaces.

Modular construction is well geared toward energy efficiency, and this is seen in the modern heating and air conditioning systems, the programmable HVAC units, and the weather-resistant paint and stains used on the exterior. All this is possible on a shortened construction time frame, something that is very appealing to both the builder and the end-user.

Special multi-family modular residential units can be designed specifically for projects in remote areas. A sudden boom in a particular industry - such as oil or natural gas- can make great use of the fast construction of livable units for families being relocated for job purposes. The ability to construct beautiful, energy-efficient multi-family residential structures quickly and efficiently makes modular construction a great option for any housing need.
