What is a Modular Home?
 A modular home is a home that is “stick-built” under roof inside our factory, under ideal working conditions. Professional Building Systems of NC builds all homes inside our large manufacturing facilities, which protects each home from the outside elements while under construction. There are also no long delays in construction that could be associated with inclement weather.
Skilled craftspeople construct each home to exact specifications. We construct all of our homes with brand name building products that you know and trust. Both in-house personnel and an independent agency inspect all homes during and after construction to ensure that every home meets our high standards and code requirements.
A traditional modular home will use significantly more lumber, up to 30% more, than a home stick built on site. The reason for this is simple. The modular sections must be stronger because of transportation from the factory to the building site, and because each section will be lifted by a crane from the carrier and placed on the foundation. Professional Building Systems of NC builds a double band joist around each module so that it can support the transference. In all two-story homes we construct an independent second floor system, which is necessary to support the upper modules. Because of this additional floor system, modular two story homes are approximately one foot taller than their stick built counterparts.
When each home is completed, it will consist of a series of modules. Trucks deliver the modules to the building site. Assembled together on the foundation, the modules form a permanent structure. Under normal circumstances, your new custom built modular home will be manufactured by Professional Building Systems, Inc. and delivered to the building site where your builder will handle the acquisition of all necessary permits, site preparation, setting of the house, and the completion of all necessary work required to obtain a certificate of occupancy.
Why Choose a Modular Home
 Modular construction allows for hundreds of options and design possibilities. Allowing for state building codes, you can modify or upgrade your general construction specifications. Design your own floor plans and elevations, pick the style of windows or siding, choose colors of vinyl, carpet, countertops, and bath fixtures. The possibilities are endless.
Your modular home can be the size of your choosing by simply adding additional modules. An example would be as follows: most ranch homes come in two modules while most two stories are four modules. You can customize the size by adding as many additional modules as needed to meet your requirements.
