Why Modular

Modular Construction Advantages

Compared to traditional “Stick Built Homes”, Modular Homes are the most contemporary, customizable, innovative, and energy efficient structures on the market. Connecticut Modular Homes offers an experience in home building unmatched by traditional avenues of construction.
Controlled Environment

Controlled Environment

Not only are there more inspections from an outside third party inspection agency and higher quality control, our building materials are never exposed to the elements. This leaves the modular homeowner with a cleaner home and a far lower risk for mold, mildew, and pest infestation. The key to a quality built home is to use superior materials and eliminating weather related defects.By keeping all building materials true and square, your home will be built to the highest quality possible.
Consistent Procedures

Consistent Procedures

Through the years of producing countless homes and other structures, CMH has been able to determine the best procedures in which to produce each aspect of the structure. Due to this, CMH has been able to maintain a level of quality that is continuous through the entire production process from home to home that leave one of one our manufacturing facility. With the same team of individuals assigned to a certain task or portion of each home that passes through their station, we have been able to ensure a consistent means of
Quality Assurance Program

Quality Assurance Program

Each module that makes up a structure is severely scrutinized through the entire production process. Each station that the module passes through has a specific duty that is to be performed to that module. Before being allowed to pass through that station, each module is thoroughly inspected and signed off on by the Quality Control department to ensure everything is done properly. An outside third party inspection agency audits the quality control department and its procedures to ensure the quality and code compliance meets all state requirements.
Tighter, Better Sealed

Tighter, Better Sealed

We build the modules from the inside out, unlike stick built homes. This gives us an advantage of sealing all electrical outlets, vents, and other potential places to lose energy with fire and air resistant sealant. Studies show in a wind test that this makes a modular home “tighter”, meaning less air passes through, lessening the chance of weather damage and cutting the cost of heating bills.
Energy Efficiency

Energy Efficiency

With the growing importance and demand for energy efficiency, CMH prides itself in building the most energy efficient structure possible. Currently an Energy Star partner and an approved Energy Star manufacturing facility, CMH offers features to meet or exceed current Energy Star, LEED, and Green Building Standards CMH allows the customer to custom tailor their structure to meet their specific wants and needs. If it’s an Energy Star Certified home a customer is looking for CMH teams up with a third party Energy Star rater to guarantee your home meets or exceeds the current requirements mandated by Energy Star.
Price of Materials

Price of Materials

Your quote may be adjusted as the building process continues if you choose to have your home stick built. This is usually caused by the rise of the materials it takes to build your home as the supply and demand changes. With the volume of homes produced by a modular manufacturer comes an advantage of a higher buying power and better pricing for materials that is then passed down to the buyer and reflected in the pricing of the homes. The purchasing department is continuously researching the best pricing for all the materials needed to produce the homes keeping us at the forefront of the market in regards to competitive pricing.
Flexible Design

Flexible Design

Choose from hundreds of floor plans or let us design one just for you. You can choose from a Ranch home with two, three plus modules, a Cape Cod with multiple dormers and Palladium windows, or a Two Story home, both traditional and modern. Chalet homes or more contemporary looking homes are another option in our line up of homes to choose from You can also OPT for CMH design or modulrize your plan. It’s not just a square box any more!
10 Year Warranty

10 Year Warranty

With a home from us you’ll receive a 10 year structural warranty right from the start. In fact, any product, may that be a garage or even a condo, will come with a 10 year structural warranty as well as a limited one year warranty. The Specific manufacturers provide a warranty in addition to those offered by CMH giving you a safe and secure home with a great warranty.
ROI-Return on Investment

ROI-Return on Investment

The ROI (return on investment) is how much profit or cost savings is realized. ROI measures how effectively the firm uses its capital to generate profit; the higher the ROI, the better. To gain a better appreciation for the advantage of modular vs. conventional construction, think “faster, less expensive, more flexible construction, and speed to market” than the conventional approach “think faster, higher ROI.”

What is Modular?

What is A Modular Building?

A modular building is a custom-designed structure built in sections

A modular building...

…is a custom-designed structure built in sections (called modules) inside a factory to the most exacting standards. Construction inside a factory prevents construction delays and expenses caused by weather, subcontractor delays or missing materials. Once the modules are built, they are shipped and completed at the site as a permanent structure.
A modular building is a custom-designed structure built in sections

Savings are achieved...

…by utilizing a manufacturing factory setting. Pre-engineering, increased purchasing power, direct labor wage controls, and a decreased building time frame and the efficiencies and precision of pre-building the home results in reduced interest carrying costs less material waste.

What's different about us?

But we at NEM take this concept a steps further… It is in the Details! The important architectural elements such as entrances, cornices, returns, and rake overhangs are designed and shipped but done at the site for a richer look custom look. Roofing, siding, installation of doors and windows and certain trims and moldings are all materials supplied by NEM. Our craftsman can transform that ordinary modular box into some classic and beautiful. We believe that the detail are what make our home different and more exquisite than other and our years of modular experience in well appointed homes.
