Time is money. A stick-built house takes eight to twelve months to complete and is subject to the availability of materials and subcontracted labor as well as weather demanded delays. The building process begins with the foundation work, onto which the home is constructed. In the conventional process, the foundation must be completed before any work can be done on the structure.

With a Modular Home, the foundation work at the site and the construction of the home in the factory can take place at the same time. The shortened construction period is significant to the developer in two ways. First, it allows him to increase his total home production. Second, financing for labor and materials is greatly reduced. Since production time is cut, the developer finances the site for a much shorter period of time. The national average to build and complete a modular home is six months to nine months. A time savings of around three months compared to stick-built construction, these advantages apply to the individual homebuyer as well.
