Modulex International has been delivering panelized
home packages for over 30 years, and to date
has delivered over 20,000 homes throughout
Canada, the USA, Europe and Asia. Modulex's
product is exceptionally high quality, using
only the finest quality lumber and building
components. Modulex is able to deliver its
home packages to the USA without duties or
tariffs. In addition, due to Canadian/American
exchange rates and a reduced on-site construction
cycle, the result for the purchaser is substantial
savings on a superior product.
A panelized home is constructed out of individual
walls, or wall sections, in a controlled
environment, prior to delivery to the home
site. Unlike traditional
"site-framing," which is done outdoors
with rough lumber and other building materials
delivered to a job site, panelization is
done indoors with the added efficiency of
computer automation and quality control provided
by state-of-the-art wall tables, production
saws, automatic nail guns, forklifts, etc.
All walls are constructed with truly extraordinary
Canadian grown, kiln-dried, Premium and #2
or Better lumber, and all exterior walls
are framed with 2 x 6's. As each wall section
or panel is built, it is designated by letter
or number code in correspondence with the
home plan. This assures accuracy in placement
when panels are delivered to the home site
and assembled using framing completed before
the material is delivered to the site (the
panels are designed to be hand carried).
This result is a weather-tight panelized
shell that is finished in days, as opposed
to weeks with
"site framing." While several types
of wall panels are produced nationwide, the
open panel is most common. Exterior walls
typically have sheathing applied with rough
openings for windows and doors, further reducing
job site labor requirements. Interior panels
are open for wiring, plumbing, heating and
on-site inspection. Open frame panels are
well-suited to custom designs and accommodate
on-site change orders issued during construction.
- Climate Controlled Production
The major components of the home, the roof,
floor and walls, are manufactured from
kiln-dried lumber in climate-controlled
factories, protecting it from the elements.
Dryer lumber means:
o Walls are straighter, with less warping,
twisting, rotting, swelling and shrinking
o Finish carpentry takes less time
o Fewer nail-pops, ceiling or corner cracks
o Windows and doors fit better, won't stick,
and need fewer adjustments
- Cost Savings
o Less labor required to erect the structure
o Shorter construction time
o No costly overruns; guaranteed price
o Lower job-site cleanup costs
o Less material waste
o Less job-site theft; (wall panels are
hard to steal)
- Excellent Quality
o Components manufactured to strict building
standards & codes, and thoroughly
inspectedo precision-built components
produced by state of the art computerized
equipment
o Complex roof systems handled with ease
o Years of buying experience results in
top quality & value in windows, doors,
hardware
o Better built holds its value better and
looks better over time
- Less "builder stress"
o Major work completed before the package
arrives at the job site
o Fewer contractors necessary
o Move-in dates quicker
o Bank draws easier to obtain
o Component shopping time reduced
o Fewer costly weather, sub-trades, etc.
delays
o Cleaner job site = safer job site
