The modular home building process.
 THE PROCESS                                          

Schumacher Construction can custom build the house of your dreams.  We use the latest technology along with award winning designs to fulfill the wants and needs of our customers.  We can build anywhere from a 1,000 square foot cozy cottage to a 16,000 sq. ft. modular estate.  Every home we build gets the same level of care and attention to detail.

There are two ways to start the building process. One is for us to show you an number of our standard successful plans and let you choose the one that best meets your needs. The second way is to visit us with your custom plan and have us review it for both pricing and scope of work. There is a third way to go about getting the home of your dreams and that is to combine the two. Which ever path we take to get you your dream home we know you will be happy with the finished product.

Once a floor plan is complete, we meet with you to fine tune the design and plan. Every aspect of your new home is reviewed right down to which way a door swings so when we release the house for production we are comfortable knowing you will be thrilled with the end product. WE then send this refined design to the factory to provide us with a highly detailed plan of your home. One more review is required to make sure we all agree that this is exactly what you want your new home to be.

Once we submit the final order to the factory a production spot is selected , final plans are drawn and sent to the third party inspection for stamps and seals and the site work process starts. Quality control inspectors, as well as independent third party inspectors, monitor every aspect of the construction.  A complete home is ready for shipment usually in about 30 days from start to finish once production starts.  Factory tours are available and encouraged to all prospective customers as well as factory open houses.  A tour of our homes or factory will let you see all that is possible in modular home construction today.

 

The set day is the most exciting day of the entire process.  Our factory experienced set crew, deliver and put the modules on the foundation.  Each piece is gently lifted, put into place, leveled and attached.  A complete home is usually assembled and then it is ready for a walk through in a single day. The home is water tight with cabinets, sinks, bathrooms, and carpet already installed. A few short weeks of button-up and connections to the utilities, which is work that is done on site, and the home is ready for you to move into. 

Home Building Tip!

Outstanding energy efficient construction is the core of our building system. It is the final finishes and features though that make us stand out in the custom home industry. The photo to the left takes a simple hall way from the foyer to a library room. We added a nice transom over the double French doors, added some colonial crown molding and finished with a nice wide two piece base molding and extra wide casing around the doors. Some nice recessed lights light up the area and show off your finished product. We especially like to use natural lighting wherever possible and for this library which features extra long windows it only made good sense to share that natural light with the foyer too!
