There are many great reasons why modular homes are the future of housing. They are more environmentally friendly which is a big plus in our greener focused future, the homes have been proven to be very strong and weather resistant and the build-time is much shorter than a traditional build job.

But with modular homes you can be quirkier and design a house that is more unique, there are limitations of course but with a modular home, you have a lot more freedom to experiment with your home’s design.
