A Cold Start in Atlantic Beach

This homeowner in Atlantic Beach lost the house to Super Storm Sandy. Rebuilding becomes easier with Modular construction. Although one of the coldest days of the past winter, the pre-constructed "boxes" arrive on a crisp but otherwise picture perfect day.

The trucks arrive with not just the boxes, but other components that are roofing members and dormers. The roof shingles and other exterior elements are shipped inside the boxes for convenience and the entire house seemingly travels together.

Once designed, the floor plan is segmented into component parts by the manufacturer. Shipped by over the road transit, all that's needed at this point is to lift them into place with a crane.

Once set in place, the boxes begin to look more like a house. You can see that many of the finishing touches are already completed. Closet shelves, moldings and painted walls are clearly one advantage to a factory built home.

As seen through the open side of a first floor module, the kitchen cabinets and countertops have already been installed, crown molding in place and even switch plates and electric all ready to go.

Once the boxes were connected and the flooring laid, all that was left here was to install the appliances and the kitchen sink!

Now complete with siding and a raised front deck, this replacement home was just ahead of the summer season. It welcomes the family with it's staircase made from composite decking and PVC posts and railings.
