David Bennert Innova Homes, LLC Asheville, NC Affordable Modular Housing(a ‘piece by piece’ presentation)
Today’s Objective • Clearly define modular housing • Present the benefits of modular housing • Review the modular housing process • Examine some “lessons learned” in modular housing
Modular Housing Defined • A structure designed primarily for residential occupancy, designed and constructed to a state or national model code, which is manufactured in one or more sections in a factory for installation on a permanent foundation at its final location.
Modular Housing Defined • The term does not include manufactured housing as defined by the National Manufactured Housing Construction and Safety Standards Act of 1974 (42 U.S.C.A. §§ 5401-5426).
What Modular Is Not: Mobile Home • A movable or portable dwelling built on a chassis, connected to utilities, designed without a permanent foundation, and intended for year-round living
What Modular Is Not: Manufactured Home • A structure, manufactured in one or more sections, which is built on a permanent metal chassis and designed to be used as a dwelling with or without a permanent foundation when connected to utilities and includes plumbing, heating and electrical systems, manufactured in accordance with federal standards under the National Manufactured Housing Construction and Safety Standards Act of 1974 (42 U.S.C.A. §§ 5401-5426).
What it Is- Modular Homes • Built to International or State Building Code • Built in a factory • Installed on a permanent foundation • Shipped to site on trailers, set with crane • An appreciable asset • Appraised the same as site built (same comps) • Generally stronger, more energy efficient, faster to build, and less costly to build
Modular and Affordability • Some General Assumptions • 10-20% less cost than site built homes • Actual cost based on local labor rates • Modular has benefits over site built construction • Amount of site work is based on how the modular homes is specified and delivered

Things to Consider • Site Conditions? • Site Access? • Single Home or Multi-home subdivision? • Lot orientation and design relationship? • Is time a critical consideration? • Do I have green requirements?
When to Use Modular • When time is money • When labor is unavailable or cost prohibitive • When volunteer labor is available • When multiple units enable “quantity discounts” • When site conditions and access permit • When you can easily apply standard designs
When Not to Use Modular • Difficult to access sites • When modular shipping is cost prohibitive • When additional site work is required to support modular handling • Sites that allow ‘slab on grade’ construction • When surrounding features complicate the set process (trees, power lines, adjacent structures)
Modular Advantages • Built stronger than most site built homes • Material efficient • HBH and LEED points for material conservation due to recycle • Energy Efficient • Better air sealing than most site built homes • Third party inspection for Energy Star • More design flexibility than ever before
