The Discovery Modular Home Advantage
Why Modular is Right For You

What is a Modular Home?

Modular homes are the fastest-growing segment of the home building industry today. A modular home is simply a home built to local building codes in a controlled, environmentally protected building center using precise and efficient construction technology. The finished units or "modules" are then transported to the site for final assembly.


Here are just a few advantages of choosing
a modular home:

Skilled and experienced craftsmen construct each modular home one piece of lumber at a time to the same state, county or other specific local building codes as any site-constructed home. These homes are inspected throughout every construction phase for strict quality conformance.

At the site, the finished units or modules are lifted by crane or rolled over a permanent foundation and secured. Once erected, modular homes are indistinguishable from site-built homes in appearance, appreciation and performance.

And when you choose any of Discovery's modular homes built with our SmartPlus® building process, you benefit from the advantage of our decades of homebuilding experience and expertise. Your new SmartPlus® modular home will not only meet or exceed the appropriate building code for your chosen location, but must also meet our additional, rigid quality requirements.

Discover Construction
Discovery homes are built using the SMARTPLUS® construction process in climate and quality-controlled environments and transported to permanent foundations on site for the interior finish out by our own factory-trained technicians. Our SMARTPLUS® process delivers the best of on-site and off-site construction methods to produce the most customized and efficient home building option available, saving you 20 to 30% on constructions costs.

Here's how we do it.
