Yes and no. AmeriCraft homes are different because they are built in the controlled environment of a modern factory rather than outdoors. The process is known as modular construction and it has
many advantages over on-site construction. Modular construction uses the same basic materials to produce homes that are indistinguishable
from site-built homes. Modular homes adhere to the same building codes and are available in an endless variety of floor plans and exterior treatments... just like site-built homes.
Are the homes AmeriCraft Corporation provides more efficiently built than site-built homes?
The modular homes Americraft Corporation provides are more efficiently built, due to the fact they are constructed in a controlled, indoor environment by full-time craftsmen who are constantly
supervised by quality control experts at each stage of the construction.
What do you mean by "more efficiently built"?
Indoor modular construction is never delayed by poor weather. Outdoor construction can come to a halt for weeks on end because of rain or other adverse conditions, such as missing labor. That's
wasted time. Also, with modular construction, building materials are stored indoors and are not subject to bad weather for lengthly periods of time. Indoor storage of materials also eliminates
theft and vandalism common at outdoor job sites. Eliminating these costly, unnecessary problems saves the homebuyer money and time.
Do the modular homes AmeriCraft Corporation provides meet standard building codes?
Yes, they all meet or exceed all state and local building codes. In addition to the full-time quality
control engineers, the modular homes provided by AmeriCraft Corporation are also inspected and approved by an independent state licensed agency to ensure that high quality standards are met
at each stage of construction. This independent third parties' seal of approval appears on each home that leaves the plant.
What happens after my home is finished at the modular plant?
You home leaves the factory 90% finished on specially modified trucks for transport to your
home-site. It will be carefully installed on the foundation AmeriCraft Corporation has prepared in advance. Utility hookups are then completed along with finish carpentry.
Within six to eight weeks of installation, your beautiful new home should be ready for occupancy.
Interior wall treatments you selected in advance will already be in place, as will carpet and brand name appliances with manufactures warranties. All you have to do is hang the curtains and move
your furniture in.
Does the AmeriCraft Corporation home come with any kind of guarantee?
Absolutely!! Every modular home you order from AmeriCraft Corporation comes with a full ten-year structural warranty, as well as manufacturers' warranties on all appliances, heating and cooling
systems.
What about bank financing for AmeriCraft Corporation homes?
Modular homes are just as easy to finance as site-built homes. Long-term mortgage loans including
FHA (Federal Housing Authority), VA (Veterans Administration), and FMHA (Farmers Home Administration) are all available to qualified buyers of modular homes.
Why aren't all homes built the way AmeriCraft homes are built?
Someday they probably will be. More and more people every day are discovering the advantages
of modular construction. The quality of construction, the variety of floor plans, the ability to alter
floor plans easily, speed of construction and the beauty of the finished homes are convincing more and more people that AmeriCraft homes is a very wise investment.
What about the AmeriCraft Corporation home construction process itself?
Modular construction is model of efficiency. The huge plant in which construction takes place is
designed to allow craftsmen to do their very best work without wasting time or energy. The home moves smoothly through the plant on specially designed rollers to various workstations. At each
station a team of specialized craftsmen, supervised by full-time quality control engineers, work on their phase of the project.
Quality rather than speed is the objective; both are achieved through the efficiency of modular construction. This process builds a beautiful, solid custom home in a matter of days. The same
home built on-site might literally take six months to complete.
Why are the homes AmeriCraft Corporation provide so tightly built?
The homes are "over built" in order to be strong enough for truck transport to the job site. With
on-site construction, most people just nail floor joists. The homes we provide are glued with industrial adhesives and then nailed. The same is true of drywall. Craftsmen glue and nail all walls
to ensure flat, true surfaces.
AmeriCraft Corporation uses only the finest materials for construction and then combines these
materials and components intelligently to create homes that are solidly built, energy efficient and, of course, beautiful.
