Modular home construction is changing how houses are built. It’s faster, cheaper, and lets you customize your home more easily. At IQ Housing, we make high-quality modular homes that are both innovative and comfortable. Let’s look at how these homes are built, from the factory to your property, and why more people are choosing them.
Key Takeaways
- Modular homes are built in sections in a factory, then moved to the building site
- They’re built faster and cheaper than regular houses
- Quality checks happen many times during manufacturing and assembly
- You can customize your home a lot to fit what you want
- Building this way is better for the environment, with less waste
- The finished home looks just like a regular house
1. Design and Planning
The first step is designing your home. At IQ Housing, we have different models you can choose from, like our small ‘Uno’ design. You can change things to make the home just how you want it. Our team of architects and engineers work together to make detailed plans for building your home. They think about everything, from how the rooms are laid out to the small design details.
Our Uno Tiny House is a good example of how we make homes that look nice and work well. It has a cozy bedroom, a modern bathroom, and an open living area. It’s comfortable even though it’s small. The Uno is great for people who want to live in a smaller space that’s better for the environment.
2. Factory-Based Manufacturing
One big advantage of modular homes is that they’re built in a factory. This means we can control the environment and make sure everything is built just right. At IQ Housing, we use the latest technology and strong materials like special steel and concrete to make homes that last a long time. Building in a factory also means we can work all year round, without weather delays.
Our Duo Tiny House shows how we combine these modules to make a bigger, more comfortable home. It’s 64 square meters and made of two modules. It’s perfect for a home office, guest house, or vacation home. The Duo shows how flexible modular construction can be, giving you more space while still being built efficiently in the factory.
3. Quality Control and Inspections
At IQ Housing, we check everything carefully to make sure your home is built well. We look at the structure, electrical systems, plumbing, and insulation many times during the building process. We don’t just meet the building codes – we try to do even better. This way, your home is safe, comfortable, and saves energy.
Building in a factory helps us keep the quality the same for all parts of your home. Our inspectors use special equipment and follow strict rules to find and fix any problems before the house leaves the factory. This means there’s less chance of issues when we put your home together or after you move in.
4. Transportation of Modules
Once the modules are built and checked, we get them ready to move to your building site. This takes careful planning to make sure they arrive in perfect condition. Our ‘Trio’ model shows how we can move and put together bigger homes. We use special trucks to carry the modules, with good systems to keep them safe during the trip.
We time the transportation to match when the site and foundation are ready. This helps keep the whole process moving quickly. Our team works with local authorities to plan routes for these big loads, making sure we can deliver your home safely.
The Trio Tiny House is our biggest model, with 96 square meters across three modules. It’s great for families or as a vacation home. Additionally, custom models are available, which can be designed and built with extra square meters as needed. The Trio is an excellent choice for families or as a vacation home. It demonstrates that with modular construction, we can build and transport large and complex homes—proving that modular houses don’t have to be small or simple.
5. Site Preparation and Foundation
The site preparation and foundation construction are carried out by local professionals. IQ Housing does not handle these tasks directly but is happy to provide information and recommendations for trusted service providers if desired.
A solid foundation is crucial for the stability of your home. Therefore, it is essential that the building site is professionally inspected, the ground is well compacted, and drainage systems are installed if necessary to prevent water damage.
Depending on the design of your home and the local conditions, different foundation types can be used, such as concrete foundations or screw foundations. The local contractor ensures that the foundation is tailored to the specific requirements of your home.
We recommend scheduling the foundation work so that it aligns seamlessly with the completion of the modules in the factory to avoid delays.
6. On-Site Assembly
This is when your modular home really comes together. Skilled workers carefully connect the modules to make one complete home. They pay close attention to every detail to make sure everything lines up perfectly and is strong. This usually takes a few days to a week, which is much faster than building a regular house.
We use special cranes to place each module exactly where it needs to go on the foundation. Our team uses advanced methods to join the modules, ensuring they’re weatherproof and structurally sound. Our modular construction approach lets us assemble homes quickly while maintaining high quality. The modules are designed to fit together perfectly, making the final home strong and durable. This precise fit also helps make the home energy-efficient by preventing air leaks and heat loss.
7. Finishing Touches and Inspections
After the modules are put together, we focus on the final details that make your house a home. While a local professional connects the utility lines, we take care of the final interior work, such as joint finishing on the ceiling, to ensure your new home is move-in ready. We pay close attention to every detail, ensuring that your home looks stunning and meets our high standards.
We conduct a thorough final inspection to confirm that everything complies with local building regulations and exceeds our own rigorous standards. This includes checking everything from the structure to the functionality of all systems and appliances. This way, we ensure that your modular home not only looks great but also operates efficiently, providing you with the highest level of living comfort.
