Modern Modular to Open Sales Offices in Areas Affected by Hurricane...

After advising the master planners and community groups in Louisiana and Mississippi in an effort to bring fast, affordable homes to areas devastated by Hurricane Katrina, Modern Modular announced today their plans to open offices in both states.The master planners and community leaders recognize the need for a new approach to designing and building homes and are looking to prefabricated building systems to meet the demand.



's8220;The lack of affordable, well built, architecturally designed homes is not unique to the Gulf, it's8217;s a national problem. Working with master planners, state and local leaders and most importantly property owners, it is our goal to bring the best that prefabricated housing has to offer -- speed and affordability. We are going to help rebuild the area and this effort will create a model for high-quality architecturally designed prefab homes,'s8221; said Founder and President of Modern Modular, Peter LaBonte.



As part of this initiative Modern Modular is working with the Association for Advanced Home Building (AFAHB) to develop an accreditation program that can be adopted universally so property owners can have confidence that a high-level of craftsmanship, customer service and building quality goes into each house. Vince Ciccarello, Executive Director of AFAHB, when asked about this pilot program said, 's8220;The manufactured housing industry has long suffered certain negative perceptions about the inconsistency of quality and performance in its product. We believe that the outcome of our partnership with Modern Modular will be a set of new standards that benefits all stakeholders, homeowners, insurance companies, municipalities, environmental advocacy groups and manufacturers.



's8220;Prefabricated home building has been around for decades, but now it is time for it to be viewed as a viable option,'s8221; added LaBonte. 's8220;We are dedicating our efforts and investing in the area to utilize all the benefits of prefabricated home manufacturing to meet the urgent housing need.'s8221;



WHY PREFABRICATED

Prefabricated homes provide many benefits that traditional site built homes don's8217;t such as; speed to erect, the ability to incorporate energy efficient features and to reduce building material waste. Prefabricated homes are higher in quality and more cost effective to design and build.
