Modular Home Builder - RREM Grant Experts

BRIGANTINE, N.J. - Sept. 12, 2014 - PRLog -- Residents of the shore community,

When deciding to elevate or build new, the concern is what direction is best?

Elevating your home is an option but elevating can be destructive and very expensive. Home elevation always includes the professional services of a licensed Structural Engineer, Plumber, Electrician, HVAC, Masonry and/or Piling contractor. In addition, the majority of home elevation projects disrupt and in some cases destroy the landscaping around your home.

Typical time frame regarding home elevation is 2 – 3 months and can breach 4 months depending on size, contractor, setbacks and/or related construction activity. Typical cost for total project can range from $80,000.00 to well over $125,000.

An alternative to elevating a home is to build a new. Homeowners that may want to consider building new are those who have suffered significant storm related damage to their home and are required to elevate, or those who have an older inefficient home that would prefer to invest in a newly constructed home.

If choosing to build new, consider building a more cost efficient, custom - modular/prefabricated home. The benefits of Modular Construction start at the design phase, as a homeowner can customize everything from interior to exterior and from floor plans to the amount of square footage.

Additionally, modular homes are environmentally friendly with the added benefit of shedding 25 percent less waste when compared to conventional stick build homes. Also, because Modular Homes are built in a manufacturing facility, there is never an issue with mold or disruptive weather.

The decision to elevate or build new is a decision that the shore community will eventually face. In an environment of change, we gain knowledge of past events. With knowledge we gain the ability to make the right decision.

Sincerely,
