Contractors building modular homes must have a good range of construction skills.
Modular homes require the services of a contractor – or sub contractors – experienced in several different construction trades. Like any other home, modular homes need an excavator, foundation contractor, plumber, electrician, HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning) contractor, siding contractor, finish carpenter, floor installer, drywall finisher, and painter. If modular homes have a garage, they need a roofer. In many cases, the same contractor will have more than one of the skills required for building modular homes, so the contractor who frames the garage might also put siding on it. In any case, you will need several different contractors to complete the work. It is best to have someone coordinate, oversee and manage the work of these contractors from start to finish. That is why it is wise to hire a general contractor (GC) who understands modular homes.
