Go Green with a Modular Home

Green modular homes are becoming more popular as people realize the impact of their carbon footprint. Modular homes are more environmentally friendly than traditional homes, as they were designed to not affect the environment. Many of the customers at Synergy Construction Group choose prefabricated homes because of their green friendliness.

The design
Every aspect of modern modular homes, from the materials used to its energy consumption, was designed to be environmental friendly. Modular home builders use sustainable materials and design in new construction. The assembly is done in an enclosed environment, which means less waste at the factory and on the job site, and that equates to less trash in landfills.

Energy consumption
Builders now seek each home to achieve Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certification. To achieve LEED certification, each building must have a design that saves energy and water, decreases carbon dioxide emissions, increases the indoor environmental quality and considers the impact on natural resources by the materials used.

These homes include environmentally friendly amenities like low-flow faucets, dual-flush toilets, insulated walls, roofs and floors, among other green fixtures.

Style
Many green homes are stereotyped as unstylish, putting the inner workings before what people see. Green modular homes are stylish, fitting to whatever design the homeowner wants. They are also affordable and very comfortable to live in, in addition to being more quickly built than traditional homes.

Benefits to a Modular Home from Synergy Construction Group

Some have a negative perception toward modular homes, thinking of them as mobile homes or manufactured. A true modular home is neither, and at Synergy Construction Group, serving New York, Pennsylvania and Maryland, we’ve converted many people over to prefabricated homes pointing out the following benefits:

Quality Control
This is probably the biggest one. There is more consistency in quality when homes are built in a factory, as there is uniformity in building processes, inspections and training techniques. Buyers can be confident their building at least meets all local and state building codes.

Quick Construction
It can take nearly a year from groundbreaking before most traditional homeowners can move into their new home. With a modular home, a homeowner can move into his or her new dwelling within a few months.

Flexibility in Design
The possibilities are virtually limitless when it comes to planning and building your prefabricated home. Modular designers and builders use CAD programs to not only design your home’s look and feel, but have the program communicate your ideas to the machinery.
